[Duggy]

No worries smeg...she should begin to grow more rapidly at this stage...

Sorry man, don't think so... Oh well.

I forked out the $250 bucks cash for the AN PH Perfect Hobbiest Bundle. LOL, the wife IS mad! We didn't get Christmas presents for our niece and nephew but I bought nutrients for my baby girl plants, hehe

LOL that right do you LOL if she smokes to othen its a gift for you and her too LOL get them something after X-mas they will think you are cooler for just poping up with a gift they didnt expect ..the ladies come first LOL Dam thats allot for Nutes! My stuff is around 10$ a bottle LOL You will see it start to move around day 32-35 or so..If its not flowering yet then you still have some time ..over watering could slow it down allot too...Make you you Up your nutes and cal/mag as she grows bigger she needs more!..I feed cal/mag with every feed.:kusht:

I've been adding CaMg+ every watering including feeding. Going to cut back now to only when feeding. They seem to be over the cal-mag issue, hopefully with 1x week dose they will maintain.

I haven't watered top down now for 2 or 3 weeks now and only foliage fed ph water and nutes in the bottom autopot tray from 3l batches i've made up. Still no oakton pen for large res batch yet. I think ive gotten over the calmag issue with the foliage feeds. Plant looks ok but stretched and small little leaves. Nutes at half strength and calmag with every feed due to the new LED.

Been using a soil ph probe to mix nutes, lol. Also, the wife don't smoke and only begrudgingly lets me grow my own meds. I'm going to give this new Agp2 the best chance with this ph perfect line of nutes. Still have a set of ThC brand nutes I got at the store for 70 bucks plus the ph up/down for anothrt 25 so I've spent 100 bucks already on nutes for this 30dw.

I must have 2500 Aussie dollars in this project so bombing these grows isn't an option. They have to get better soon or I've pissed away a lot of dough.

Agp2 still hasn't moved an inch upwards yet and this is day 10, I believe. I think its all down to ph and overwatering again. I haven't given it any water since being hatched other than a shot glass or two once or twice. Shes feeding off the moisture still in the coco bit hasn't moved upwards a single inch.

I know how you feel about the investment! I stopped counting when I broke $1,200.00 USD. I'm going to have to tally it all someday but am waiting until I get something out of it first. Just to calm me down, mind you. I really have no other choice. I could loose everything if I did not have my medical but there is no legal place to purchase yet, so it's grow or no.

Same boat as you wwwillie. Price for an oz here is 300 or 70, 80 a qtr for midgrade bush weed and no reliable source. The yobbos here are nice, the one guy that I've hooked up with but he works 7 days a week and also goes to school and hardly ever returns my sms or calls. Also, living in a rental unit and setting up a grow tent is a big risk. We're going to have to buy our own place soon.

Would be careful when buying anything from dealers as I've heard that the asian drug operations grow bush weed and get pure THC in its chemical form and dilute it with acetone then spray it on buds to make them 100 times more potent. Acetone dries up fairly quickly in air and doesn't leave a smell once dried, so it's harder to detect.

Growing your own truely is the best way.

Wow dude. shit cost a lot or your doing something wrong.
That sucks. 2500 lots of money.
I spent 400-600 on my first grow.
weed cost that much there?

I'm doing plenty wrong and cost of buying gear and having it shipped to AUS is what's killer. Decided to go with the Autopot, that cost 250 bucks. Tent plus upgrades cost 500. Bag of coco and growstones cost 100 alone. 1st batch of nutes, THC brand (local) cost 100 bucks. Broken 600w hps bulb cost 100 to replace. 300 in seeds. 500 on a GN MS0006, other odds and bods that were unnecessary like clip on fans, an extra 100. It'd be paying for itself now if I wasn't screwing up my first grow with no PH meter to control conditions...overwatering, blah, blah, blah. Oh, 500 of that 2500 went into 2 vapes I plan to use to medicate...a Ploom Pax and Solo.

Wanted to try hydro to start, should have just gone soil to learn first. More money than common sense but once it pays for itself then it's all profit from there in meds. Plus it went on the credit card, hiding the funds from the wife who's a finance manager and chief accountant is the hardest part! She saves all her money, I blow all of mine. Makes me feel guilty...a bit.

It's not waste the money that hurts it's wasting precious time learning to get some fat buds. I could break even with a couple great grows.
