Hampster, When do you START feeding your plants? Everything I read says to leave them alone for the first couple of weeks, but I have a feeling you do it YOUR way. When should I give these potiential killer plants a little GH floraGro? Advise it very welcome.

Most times I go about three weeks before feeding but some hve needed a light feed earlier. You can usually tell by the new growth if the plant is hungry. I start seeing a lighter shade of green and I start light feed.
 
I do see some light green, but they are just a few days old. I will leave them alone for now.

I just bought a tent off ebay. 122.95 48x48x79 --free shipping. The same tent (or one like it) is at HTG for 185.00 -- I feel good -- an exhaust fan and filter set up and I believe I'm right. I can't seem to be able to put pics in here -- don't know why -- but I CAN send pics through e-mail, and if anyone wants to see them they can PM me with an addy and I will send them -- I would like someone to look at the soil and the one ALIEN looking plant and advise me -- peace

Bro of course I remember you...how the helll are you? I have not heard from swift in a long long time either. The good old days...:) You still growing?
 
well ive since picked up a career in law enforcement so its kind of colliding with my old hobby of cultivating / smoking.. ive got a few diff. kinds of seeds at home but am waiting until the day i have a full spare bedroom to start growing again, i cant wait. im sure things have changed since i left. i bet LEDs are used alot more now, maybe not.
yeah i havnt heard from any of the old guys so i just had to pop in and drop a line!

Good luck with your new career bro.....I have smoked with cool cop friends before. Let's hope your two worlds don't collide.


UPDATE 9-8-2011

So I setup the 4x4x6.5 flower tent today....2 Larry OG and a Pre98 Bubba are sitting under the 600w in the cool tube for now. Doing a temp/humidity run right now to make sure things are at acceptable levels.

Didn't go vert this run...wld be a lil cramped and I didn't think I wld be utilizing the light enough.


Plan is to flip the 3 moms after I transplant to 0ne gallon Smart Pots. Then add mature females from seed as we go. The moms will all be replaced by fresh clones. Pics in a few.
 
Okay so a quick look at where we are at:

The 3 in the tent....SANY0001.jpg SANY0004.jpg

The Filter won't get hooked up till they start to reek.....:)

The Bubble Cloner......SANY0006.jpg SANY0007.jpg SANY0008.jpg SANY0009.jpg

Getting some good root action now.....

The Grow Room....SANY0011.jpg SANY0013.jpg


Don't mind the mess....:)

Thanks brosef.....I will try not to gush too much over my tents...lol

For me they make growing possible. I don't hve any spare closets to convert so getting a cpl tents was mandatory if I wanted to do this.

If you hve one and are not using it I wld gve it a try....they really make it easier to grow.

I bought all three of my tents of Ebay....researched the sellers before buying. 99 bucks each shipped for the two 2x4x5's and 129 shipped for the 4x4x6.5.
 
Good prices!

I love the fact that you can pop them into a spare room and that they are unobtrusive (lol, kind-of)

Quick question, you vent out of your tent, how do you vent your room or do you just leave the door open?
