dollar store soil is known to carry bugs as I have actually threw it on the counter and seen bugs jump on the counter also timers are really important as you can tell and very cheap and the one you have from the cfl's probably just needs a 99c adapter, it is nearly impossible to stay to a 12/12 schedule doing it manually ... don't think i would ever be able to do it, but hey its a learning curve ,i only know because i have done the same in the past ... I would def stay away from the dollar store soil if gotta go cheap go home depot or lowes and get like a 6-10 dollar bag from the center of the pile and be really careful if stored outside , you will not survive a bug attack with a limited budget , even the bug stuff that sometimes works is hella expensive.. again just advise
Hey Jeezer, how's it going man. been awhile since i dropped by and wanted to say you're holding it down.
also i am pretty sure you can bang this one without a timer until your funds can allow you to pick one up. shit i got one and i stopped using it like a month and a half ago. you just have to be a little more diligent.
if you don't mind, i would suggest that you cut lights on an half an hour after the time you normally would get up, and set your alarm on your watch, phone, tv ect an hour before the lights are suppose to go off. this method has done me justice in maintaining the light schedule.
good choice of recycling that coco, that's one of the reason why i decided to go all or mostly coco for now on. if you don't mind me asking, how does one go about doing so? thanks in advance.
I still gotta disagree cat, if you look thru his thread he has left his light on numerous times and no matter how diligent you are (most are not as detailed oriented as you) your gonna miss it several times in a 56-70 day grow minimum , no matter who you are , shit happens and unless your glued to your couch and never over sleep or are never out (its holiday season - parties and such) you must have a timer its a basic thing in a grow and you can get one for ten dollar or in jeezers case a 99c adapter - with that i'll agree to disagree and bow out , Why would risk the expense of loosing a 2k light crop with reusing 10 dollar a bag coco, cut on small things and you will fail at least 10Hey Jeezer, how's it going man. been awhile since i dropped by and wanted to say you're holding it down.

by all means bro, live within your means ... just giving my opinion as a forum participant , I by all means do not know your financial situation but would hate to see a fellow farmer trying to grow a little weed and make a few bucks loose it all to a timer .... but i understand your situation as explained ...be well soser......if you have money to buy new coco, why not, i would, especially for a small grow. but like i said it all depends on the situation and what type of grow u got goin.

could of been lost with are update in the new outlook ...... did you search bar it ... i will look but gotta do it later 3 hrs is enough for now , gotta start another expensive day .... christmas should be every two years comes to fast and spend to much money on kid toys these days 500 ipad for one as i use this old computer.... oh well only money ......peace sosercant find the link to my first grow :/
Dude I have plenty extra timers and stuff! I can hook ya up lol. But I feel ya, when times get tuff, the little money counts! I've been doing pretty good this year luckilly as usually it's this time of the year you feel the struggle the most. You gotta try this Alien Rock Candy bro!!!! Still got ya a bowl on reserve;) But will be gone soon I must admit (at least this stash, bouta harvest more in 2 weeks). Been smoking ARC like crazy!!! But always got something to put in the air. I run a perpetual myself, and would rather do it that way rather than waiting for a full flower run for my own meds. I'm sure doing things in single runs with the same or similar strains is best for yield, but I LOVE variety, and I like having something to harvest every 1 or 2 weeks. Rather miss a little yield than have to buy from others in between runs.
Anywho, grow looks like it's going great and gonna do quite well. Can't wait to see what these can do!
it was on rollitup, i searched but i couldnt find it. that 400w im using right now is the the one i bought my first grow. same bulb and everything. just different hood.could of been lost with are update in the new outlook ...... did you search bar it ... i will look but gotta do it later 3 hrs is enough for now , gotta start another expensive day .... christmas should be every two years comes to fast and spend to much money on kid toys these days 500 ipad for one as i use this old computer.... oh well only money ......peace soser
Actually Jeez the more spoiled they are the less thankful they are , which is my fault but no she still bitched about what she didn't get, My niece gets very little as my sister is in somewhat of a hard time and she is thankful for little things. I gave her 50 in a card and she was happy as could be ......it was on rollitup, i searched but i couldnt find it. that 400w im using right now is the the one i bought my first grow. same bulb and everything. just different hood.
As for the holidays, they may be expensive but at least you have money to buy good gifts and enjoy the time. Your kids must have been real happy this morning :) my lil one sure was
