    Had a problem with dampening off and figured out it was getting to cold with the lights off, so that is the last 2 of my northern lights regular seed. Hopefully one will be female. The clone seedling area stays 78 degrees now that I keep the light on 24/7. I don't smoke, but dam I love growing.

  2. Hell yeah, buddy-w! Looking great man. I love the look of that cab dude nice work. Have you thought about using a mulch? I'm subbed up man. I'll find a chair... :bongin: :bongin:
     
  3. Mulch for?
     
  4. You don't even smoke a little? lol
     
    Tell us about your soil...
     
  5. Mulch as a top dressing to keep the moisture at the surface of your soil. It also helps to lessen the impact of pouring water on the soil unless you've set up a SIP for watering from the bottom.
     
    Here is mulch using timothy hay that is for rabbits.

  6. Mulch is awesome. It keeps the top layer of the soil moist by blocking light and air movement from drying it out. That way all those surface microbes stay alive and cycling and your plants can take full advantage of all of the soil. Roots can grow right up under the mulch and use all of the nutrients in the soil. Instead of having the top inch be dry soil, you have an inch of dry mulch. Also it allows water to flow right thru without pooling on top. In nature there is never bare soil. There is always something covering it. Obviously it's not essential, but it is an excellent addition. Just a thought.

    I see the kelp meal and garden tone but what is in the other bags?
     
    My amendments I used for my first soil were (at 1/2 cup per cubic foot) kelp meal, azomite, crab meal, garden tone, alfalfa meal and neem seed meal. I added 3 cups per cubic foot of granite rock dust.
     
    My base soil mix was peat moss 50%, EWC 30% and pumice (aeration) 20%.
     
  8. Your cab looks sweet buddyweiser  :metal:  I'm using a small(er) cab also, in the basement closet. 
     
    are you planning to do any training on your plants?
     
    Noticed you transplanted them off-center a little.  
     
  9. They're all planted in the center. The 2 NL are regular seeds so I have them LSTd. Plan on topping the Bubblelcious.
     
  10. ahhh ok buddy.
     
    I see what you did now. :smoking:
     
    this is going to be good.
     
  11. Sweet set up dude. I'm jealous! Good luck with the grow! Sim
