Hello all!

Finally found a legit physician who would have no problem RX the green stuff. So since Washington state allows me to grow 60 days worth I planned to do so instead of illegal purchases (though some honest dealers) always ends up feeling awkward. "Pineapple Express" really nailed my feelings. Which brings the conversation as to why I vape or eat (not smoke, too harsh for all day use) the greens is anger issues to deal with PTSD from the military. The VA has no problem with cannabis as an alternative medicine either so cheers! Show you what I've got so far... Four plants of unknown descent from seeds. I'm confident it's a hybrid sativa indica mix but you guys are welcome to guess as I have.

Setup:
2x3x5 Tent
440 CFM Fan w/ carbon filter(for flowering)
400 Watt cool tube MH light
FFOF w/ FF trio

Day24
So far I've been maintaining moist soil but only watering once every 2 or 3 days (depending on the dampness of the soil) with few problems. However as you can see from these images I have a some small problems going on. Dark green wilting on one leaf, and some white blotches on some other leaves. First nutes was FF plant food 1Tbsp to 1gal mix given 3 days ago. Nutes were not the cause here since all of this has been going on since before nutes were added. I would really like to add some of the grow big to tonight's watering but I f'd that up and got the hydro version instead of soil so I have to wait till tomorrow for the right stuff to get here. So just water tonight.... and hear what you all think.

Also to all who read and reply with advice.. Thank you so much, not just for the reply's here but elsewhere. I've gotten this far by my little lonesome because of all the available assets i.e. youtube and such, but grasscity and it's respondents have answered the small questions which have huge results. Thank you.

I figured out why the leaves are wilting. While watering I the tested pH level and found it to be around 6.0 so I plan to bump the ph of my next water/nute mix to 7.5 and hopefully that will bump it back to 6.5-7.0.

Nice setup! Better than mine at least...

Pineapple Express was very nice when I smoked it...where'd you get the seeds?

The setup is nice... took a lot of persuasion on my part for the gf to release the funds needed. Though I explained the economics of it and in the long run, and boom... it made sense. I was worried that a sub par setup would a. be a waste of time, plants would die b. would screw me on smell c. piss me off, causing the opposite of desired effect. So the only real upgrade needed in the next few years is basement for a bigger tent for a DWC setup... but like I said next few years..

I got the seeds from a buddy who accidentally pollinated his crop. He may know the breed which i will ask when I see him next, but for now is a mystery...

Lol I don't remember how the subject came up between my gf and I...she doesn't even smoke, so I'm surprised that she's so cool with it. It's kinda funny whenever she's in the grow room with me and I'm explaining things, that blank look on her face just says 'whaaaaa?' It's cool though, she actually wants to start growing some of her own (why, I have no idea...) Man I can't wait until I have the funds for a nice setup...

That's funny my girl can't smoke either. Asthma. So I'm surprised she's even still around with how much money I've spent on this medical condition. But she's been on me about growing veggies for her salads but I've done little to no research outside of growing MJ. Bad BF...

My wife is all about the finished product. She could care less about the actual set up and grow.
I'm the same way with her soaps, candles, and knitting. Don't give a shit how they are made....the end product is all I care about.

This is the truth.

But I can't handle the truth.

0311 by trade was going to re-enlist 0321 but after working with them for 3 months in Afghanistan I decided against it. The name is easy to remember.

I love what I did, but what we are asked to do now is not what a military was built for.

I'll try to see if I can find my memory card with the pot fields in afghaniland.

Hats off to you sir!

Unfortunately I blew out both of my knees at AIT so I had an honorable under medical. What little I was in I loved it. I graduated boot but don't consider myself an inactive Marine because I really never served. I was heartbroken.

That just sucks. Yea my experience was like a roller coaster a really big high at first then dropped off whirled around, and I nearly got on for another ride but my body and psyche are worn down.

Now I get to yell at rich people and get em in to shape for better pay and hours.
