thanks tbg.

i will post more pics when i trans plant in a few days.got some black god soil
and some bat guano comming soon here in a few days.i have to get them out of those little cups soon.i have one question tho,

wheni get my soil black gold soil worm castings
do i have to mix in some potting soil with it?
can i use it straight?

i have never used it b4 -----)newbie here
 
Hey Looks Like You Did Some Reading Thats Whats Ups Keep Up The Good Work
 
i want to get a co2 setup but heat will be my main prob.the only way to get the heat out is i leave my door open when lights are on and closed when off.u can se in my pics i have a 15inch fan above my main hood wich works good my temps stay at like 75/85 now.but when i do the co2 door has to be closed and fans off.
i was thinking if i can just leave my 400w mh light on and have the other lights off.my room gets in the 90s with door closed and just that light on.it will only be like an hour or so.i asked my girlfriend that i want an enclosed hood with 6 inch duct for christmas ho ho ho
 
hello all.

just wanted to post some updated pics.i transplanted to diff pot yesterday.i used a diff soil mix this time,i whent with some worm castings and bat guano this time.mixed it in with my usual potting soil i get from home depot.the reason i put some in the smaller pots because i dont have the room for 13 full sized pots so i put some in smaller pots till i can sex them and get the males out.and retransplat them again .sucks not haveing enough room,everything is going good so far there almost 3 weeks old and healthy.gonna start annd a small dose of fox farm grow big next week.

Whats up sgtsmoke. :headbang: The babies are looking great man. Whatever your doing keep it up. Better hope you don't end up with all females man or your gonna have a freaking jungle. :aok:
 
Hey SGT!!

Tennnnnnnnnnn hut!!! All buds at attention!

Welp dude, good job so far. Heat is a problem. The main issue with keeping that door open is light leak during flower. Also probably going to get a little humid once those plants build up sufficient mass. I'd work on addressing it now so it doesn't become a major issue when it's critical.

Good luck!
 
ya heat is mjr problem.what i do when flowering is i close the door when the lights go off.i usually set my time schedule 6am.6pm,im from the east so its dark here at 6pm and if i get home to late b4 i can close the door there is no ambiant light comming in, but i am good at keeping the door closed when lights are off.then when lights are on at 6am i open the door.its a pain in the but.but it works,i have a panel of insulation that i stick in the door with mylar and one side of it.it closes of half of the door.and top is open for air to blow out thanks TBG ya that whould **** if i had all females.but i have learned to do more seeds so i have more chance to get more females.i can pack 8 3gall pots in there.i have 13 going now hope to get 8 females.if i get more my buddie grows also,i told him ill hook him up with some femals.

what is good humidity during veg and flower?

i am at 34/40% humidity now.i took some pics of the piece of insulation.one pic you can see the mylar.and the other pic its in its place

If i'm not mistaken i think your humidity should be higher than 50% during veg and 50% or lower during flower.
 
what can i do to bring up my humidity?
add some water in a bowl in the room
 
It has been suggested to me by the guy at the local hydro store. Take a bowl of water and stand 1 or 2 sponges up in the water with half of the sponges above the water line so as to draw water up the sponges and into the room. This just a suggestion and it might help. :farm:
 
ok ill try it thanks greenthumb.i just added a small dose of fox farm grow big to my water today.hope they take it ok,i only added half teaspoon to the water.i also checked my ph today it was at 6.8.i think im in the good zone.
