lol ok.. I used Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil. I used the Fox Farm Nute Kit with Big Bloom, Grow Big & Tiger Bloom. I used CFL's for lighting at 23w 5000K & 2500K. I added bone meal also

Thanks man, I mixed my soil up from what I could find laying around town. a bit of potting mix, Pete moss and various different soils from work sites, oh and some sand from a playground also! Haha I have no idea what levels are in my mix but they seem to like it next time I will be buying a lot of different products from the shop and mixing up a super soil, might even add in some organic soil mix. Fox farms seem to be the best product on the market, I might also cross over to using them instead of alternative nutes.

No way, sand from a playground is awesome lmao.. I also don't know what my levels are at either.. Yea I didn't know anything about what needed to be mixed to have good soil. So I just went with what I kept reading about and beig told its a newbies best friend lol.. I will be switching over to coco for sure on my next one. I got my hands on a 5 gallon bucket that was premixed for me.. I eventually wanna do DWC but I got a long ways before that's gonna happen.. I do love the FF NUTE KIT so I'm sticking with that also.. Plus the new light I'm gonna use.. On the clone Honey Boo Boo I just got, I'm gonna start a journal so this is gonna be cool

Haha yes! Just about everything I have leant, has been from the people of this site I haven't read much into coco, I might just do so today though now you mention it :) DWC looks like a lot of fun, but also a lot of headaches haha.. Definitely get a new thread going once you get your coco up and running mate. I came across a massive ballast yesterday, ill try get a pic tomorrow and tell me what you think. I'm not sure what the specs are (because its from an Op shop), but it looks decent.

One thing I forgot.. Any water I use whether it's from the sink or from a store, I take the cap off and leave it open for atleast 24 hrs

I've been using water straight from the tap and have had no issues as a result.. But I guess there is a lot of factors that come into place (ph levels, type of strain, the soil I used, ect..)
I'm going to try your way and see if there is any change in growth

Yea i dont think the water has had any effect on her, or atleast i havent had any problems yet. Now I need to find a new baby so I can drop her in some coco

My new clone is really struggling to shake these brown spots though. I had to put Honey Boo Boo back in her dome and chill in some moisture for a bit

Well I had them 7 babies but when I had to hit the road a buddy didn't know what he was doing and they are gone. So I went and got a new clone of Honey Boo Boo. I've had her for just short of a week now. She's got some serious burn

CharmCity915 · Feb 4, 2016

Here's some quick pics of her I just took

Oh yeah I remember those poor girls, have you heard anything on them since you gave them away? Nice man, I had the Sam spots on mine at the exact sane time period, except I thought mine were a result of nutrients pellets that got caught in the medium mix, maybe it was something else.. Hmmmm.

Yea I haven't feed her anything besides water. I backed off on watering because I thought maybe she was over watered. I'm gonna hold off on any nutes for her first 30 days with me.
