This is my first well designed grow. A picture is included below. I looked back and to my surprise and noted the seeds were purchased early in September 2011 before I joined AFN. They should get the job done.
I have used Happy Frog--a less hot soil--with added perilite and a touch of dolomite. Tested PH prior to planting and added some Great White on the next wash though.
My biggest of several problems along the way has been hard water and PH. I have been using distilled water for three weeks. Last week, I tested three combinations of water: (1.) 1/2 distilled and R/O (2.) 100% distilled (3.) a third each of distilled, R/O and spring.
The reading with and without nutes was: (1.) and (2.) were unstable. Only (3.) came out at 7 PH.
I slowly poured about a half gallon of each though a gallon of HF and (1.) = around 6.5 (2.) = 6.3 and (3.) = 7
They will need a small dose in a few days------I'll figure it out.
Nutes: GH--FloraNova G & B, and a touch of Silica Blast, Florlicious + and RapidStart.
I will update journal when a problem appears
no
immediately. Pictures every few weeks, unless, the plants are really sexy
otherwise I will be checking up on everyone else.

Above two 3 panel dividers used to screen tent. Tent at angle at corner of wall. Last photo very powerful air filter being used to blow fresh air around back side of tent for passive air and general air circulation. Center tent photo upper left corner axial fan - like a jet - 120 CFM. Three plants for 240W BlackStar is max can see delayed growth on outer sides of far right and left side plants.
