The plants look nice man, but i'm wondering what kind of soil you are using?

[Jimbo E]

I'm using 2 different kinds of soils,mostly miracle grow potting mix & another kind I found @ lowes thats supposed to be good for flowering plants...name?,I also mixed in some black hen chicken manuer.It's high in nitrogen.I've also been using root stimulater & the stalks are starting to get realy thick now.

I moved the smallest of the 4 plants outside to make room for the other 3 to get big in this small bathroom. the one outside I insulated with leaves. I plan on getting it in out of the rain,(if it storms anyway) & also if we have another frost. temps.around their have been from the high 30's to 40's for lows to upwards of low to mid 70's latly for highs with promiss of an early spring so thats cool...you gotta'love the southeast I'm also thinking about moving the other 3 outside in spring to finish the grow (maby) gotta'find a spot first! I may have to do a manual 12/12 cycle for flowering (inside for dark & out for sunlight), which might suck...WDYT or do y'all think the natural light/dark cycle in spring will be enough here in GA? I think I've figured out why these plants were so short & compact, it's because I had the lights too close to them. I lifted the lights up from appx.2" to appx. 10" from the tops for about 3 days now & you can really see the difference. The leaf/limbs & the nodes are getting longer & letting more light through to the smaller secondary limbs & they are now getting bigger...go figure ...I also topped one of them because it is going crazy with those smaller (I call them "secondary")limbs & it may just produce more buddage with more limbs... IE, more bushy ...WDYT

ok, I've been reading this...http://cannabisculture.com/articles/1804.html...about getting CO2 in your grow room & it was saying somthing about running duct work from a nat.gas or propain applyance...well, let me just paist it here...Recycled CO2

A source of recycled CO2 may be found in any natural gas or propane appliance, especially those with a pilot light. All such appliances produce CO2, when properly functioning, that is. A simple rule of thumb is: blue flame = CO2 or what we want, yellow flame = CO or carbon monoxide, deadly poisonous! It is merely a question of how to get the CO2 gas from the appliance to the grow room. If the appliance (furnace, hot water heater, stove, etc.) is anywhere near the grow room, then a simple duct system of dryer vent tubing running from the bottom of the appliance (remember, CO2 is heavier than air) to the grow room will suffice. A muffin fan placed on the room end of the tube, blowing into the room, would efficiently move the gas.... it just so happens that my "gas"hot water heater is less than 8' away from the outer wall of my grow room, WOW how cool is that it should'nt take much wrk.or $ at all to make this CO2 thing happen. I could even put the computer fan (which I just so happen to have an old comp.)on a timer to give me some control over it...What do y'all think

that sounds amazing bro, you will have amazing plants if you managed to do that.

Probably died from the "CO2" pipe thing. That's dangerous as hell.
