Time to post a new diary. These are the girls. Started late, due to unfortunate turmoil due to Mrs OMR deciding to exit stage left. Germinated about 5/3. Move outside about two weeks ago. Just now starting to get going. They are getting Botanicare Pro Veg once a week. Two Chem Dawgs, two Girl Scout Cookies. All feminized. Seeds from MSNL. Soil is my garden bed which has been worked for three years now. Tilled in about 20 bags of steer compost again, as I do every year. pH was a little high, added aluminum sulphate to bring it down. Everyone has a nice green now, and they are starting to move. Trying to decide whether to top the tall girls; I usually don't but I might experiment. One of the GSC's topped herself. She's kinda mutant looking right now, but I think she'll grow out of it.

Firee, looking good! Also I'm going to take your advice and transplant my plants out to make more room, Do you have any recommendations for what pot size I should use?

Out of sheer nerdiness, I just calculated the ppm of that mix, at 300ppm. Roughly, by weight.

Pics from today. One month from first post. I planted them too close together. Don't know my own garden-fu's strength. :-(

Today. About to convert over to bloom fertilizer. I just looked at the first post, which was 6/18. This is just over 5 weeks later, 3 feet of growth.
