It's been about 5 years since I've grown anything. Life and kids took over for a little while. But with some encouragement from the Wifey I decided to go ahead and put some in the outdoors. I gifted all my indoor gear and not in the position to reinvest in more gear just yet. The strain I have...

A free seed. Started and will finish in 3 gal bag. Happy Frog soil and ph'ed water only. Started and raised under a "1000"w LED till about 2 weeks ago when I placed her outsider in the Sun.

Happy Frog for me also.I can usually get through my veg cycle with just Ph'd water in 3 gal pots.I even clone straight in Happy Frog also instead of my seed starting mix.I find it feeds them as they root and allows me a little more time to transplant without them stretching or yellowing on me.It...

Seems like you're asking why the buds tightened up and started producing trichs after he switched from the LED fixture. I would think it would have more to do with the wrong spectrum being given off from his "cheap" LED. Switching to the 600 started providing the plants a more desirable...

I've learned from a buddy that the colder things are when making it the better.He keeps his trim in the freezer,he uses empty pudding cups to make his ice cubes and always has water chilling in the fridge.Another tip is the colder you have everything the less you have to "beat" the material.He's...

Hippy that's a 1969 Hurst Olds, not mine unfortunately! On this run of plants I had to use all my fixtures, 2 t5's and one 600w hps. Sowed 13 seeds and got 13 ladies so I just ran with it

Just thought I would throw these up here.These are t5 from veg thru to present state.Some were under veg bulbs others under bloom bulbs,both 4ft 8 bulb fixtures.One gallon bags with Happy Frog soil,FF Tiger bloom,molassas and cal-mag.I kinda half-*** things but I keep myself smoking!

I've had no problem using T5s for both veg and bloom.I have two 2x4 8 bulb fixtures going atm,one with veg bulbs and the other with bloom.I am currently using both for flowering along with my 600w hps and all I'm noticing is a little size difference.Use what ya got to get what ya can! I just...

How big is the plant? How old? You said she'll in the ground for a couple weeks now? If it was under 24hrs light then put outside into the ground she sensed the change in the lighting schedule and started flowering. Since our days are getting longer I'd say within a couple weeks she will sense...

How do you plan on returning home with the goods?I can understand being leary of mail ordering seeds,took me two years of researching before I placed my first order.I think ordering by mail would be less risky than trying to smuggle them back yourself.With a package in the mail you still some...

Didn't seem to harm them as far as potency,but size wise they've suffered.I'm going to give them a couple more weeks past their scheduled chop date and hopefully they will plump up some.

Give Hammy a seed,a Mag light and a solo cup and step back!

Thanks everyone for the positive comments.EsC,my flowering times are staggered and range from week 8 in for my Swazi skunk,to going on 5 wks for the rest.The Swazi is from seed so she has about 7wks of veg,usually I go 4-6wks veg for clones.This run I figured out I had a power strip that was...

I don't usually flower with the T5 but had too many to fit under the 600, it works.

I don't usually post too pics of my feeble attempts at growing because I don't consider myself a great grower.I can grow good enough to keep me smoking decent weed without lining someone els'e pockets.I just thought I'd post up a few shots of what I've got going in my shed,hope ya like.These are...
