Grow tent under construction...finally

[sdifox]

Here?

Lol no

 

[JEDIYoda]

lol, you've never seen his rants about how america is the most terrifying place on earth? it is a lawless subtropical metropolis ruled by totalitarian regimes, and every time you step out your front door you might be signing your death warrant as stray bullets whiz by your head.

Sounds like Chicago to me...…….

Awww, my bad joke failed hard!

Ehh, I know he's over by Toronto, which is really only an 8ish hour drive from where I am about 50 miles NW of Chicago. I have been in that area before, but only once, and many years ago when we went to see Niagra falls. I remember the CN Tower being awesome, with an obvervation deck even higher than the Sears Tower in Chicago. I also remember being impressed with the Chinatown. I need to go there again with the wife some time.

I have been to Peoria, IL

Used to live in Toronto, moved just north of it to Markham.

Don't forget the Walmart death camps.

Update time.

Finally got my seedlings grown enough to transfer to the tent. I bought canvas bags to grow them in and now using coco and bloodworm casings as my soil.

 

[Mayne]

New update. Looks like I have a super-star. Will be doing a new nutrient soak that I learned about this saturday.

 

[bbhaag]

Good looking seedlings Mayne. How long did germination take? Keep and eye on the watering when seedlings are that little. They require very infrequent watering when that young. Let your soil medium dry out in between watering because this will help encourage stronger root growth.
I'm curious about this nutrient soak you are going to try. What is it and what are the nutrients you are going to use?

So how did the fertilizer drench work out? Did it give your seedlings a boost?

On a side note your thread inspired me to start some rainbow bell peppers for my veggie garden. I used Livingston Seed brand seeds and I had a pretty good success rate on germination. I started them about a week and a half ago and so far they are growing well. Here's the type of peppers I sowed

and here is what they look like a week or so later.

nice dude! My favourite vegetable in the world. The drench is going good. I will update the progress in a few minutes and tell me what you think.

One plant is definitely out performing the rest lol

Hey they are looking great Mayne! I wouldn't worry to much about them being at different stages of development they will eventually even out. Just curious but how often are you fertilizing?

 

[Mayne]

Another weekly update

 

[bbhaag]

Wow they really jumped over the past week! Your pic is a little blurry but they are looking really healthy. It looks like your fertilizer regiment is working well. Congrats.

You should setup a web cam that takes a picture every 5 minutes or so and do a time lapse video, that would be kind of cool.

Weekly Update.

Small setback this week. Apparently I knocked over the smallest plant and now its dead. But it leaves a lot more room for the remaining 3 plants. All good I suppose.

 

[bbhaag]

Every time you post a pic they look better! How close are you to switching the day light schedule to 12/12 so they start to bud? It looks like you are only a couple weeks away.

they are feminized auto flowers...so no need to turn off the lights...should be done growing in about 4 weeks or maybe 5.

*edited to add*
just checked plants..2 of them are flowering now..time to switch to new nutrients Bloom A/B and drop the magcal.

picture of flower..not sure how clear this picture is.

I still love the fact that this is perfectly legal country wide now. It's about time. It's ridiculous that a plant was once illegal.

So, thinking about how much everything will cost you, how much money do you think you are going to save by growing your own? Or are you going to sell as well?
