THX
We were all uneducated completely at birth and had to start somewhere right.

We are all the same my friend.

The method i described is one which a very philosophical and well educated man has perfected in the art of growing our beloved plant....his name is LUCAS.

His thread will find you i promise and until then here is the basics of that method.

GH has 3 parts,green=grow(not needed because the others has enough N )Brown=micro and pink=bloom....and they are represented as a number ?-?-? and ?=mil. liters or ccs per gal of water used for solution.

So the green will always be zero and the micro(always mixed 1st in water before any others are added) is the middle # and the pink bloom is always last.

My post was relative to a grower who uses flouros and Lucas says they will always get 0-5-10 as long as they are established plants(i would guess 3 weeks is plenty)once a week with pure water between as needed.

Now HID lighting will get a dif. feed as follows,0-8-16 once a week.

Hydro growers also use this and that's another post entirely.

Hope that helps.

Added a nug of papaya to the sharpstone and it ground well like it was dried so after todays open nug dry they go into sealed bags and the curing begins today,any helpful hints to share bro.

They all seem just as strong as the $80.00 1/8s i got from the clubs but this papaya is a dream for fragrance and after a few months(or 10) it should be far Superior to any thing i ever had.

I'm hoping to use 1 23w cfl to get about 4 of them rooted....is that enough?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I'm gonna go for another practice before I really need it to work right.
That light is fine for clones 3+" away though till you see roots.

Yes, with these starter plugs I'm not sure if I use just PH adjusted water to soak them or if I should use a weak nute mix. Also, for spraying the leaves under the humidity dome, do I again use just water or a nute mix?

Never used those plugs but jj has,I would say use a PH corrected 1/8th nute solution for everything but let the plugs dry a bit between waterings and sprey the inside of the dome whenever possible so RH stays highest.

u should use a mild nute spray, & use a watering ph of 6.0 w/ very mild nute mix.
