damn...thats a fine looking plant you have there.Was this grown under the 150w hps?
 
Thanks Mr. Ham.

Yes Sir! She has one 150w HPS all to herself. I also have another 150w HPS over a Little Cheese. The third plant that I have, shares the side light, but is still doing great.
Check out my grow thread Bandits Cheesy Grow. All the details are there, and this is my first grow. If you start with great seeds, great soil, great lights and great nutes, you are bound to get something decent, provided you can avoid the small catastrophes that present themselves....

well I found a hydro store close to my house so im going to check them out tomorrow and see what they have, maybe end up getting most of my stuff there and save the waiting time
 
well after some more looking around i think im going to try out auto seeds auto#1. its pretty much like the lowryder but with better taste and a more psychoactive effect supposedly. I want to start out with these because they are basic and foolproof according to the description. If anyone has any info on this strain or just thinks its a waste of time let me know
 
I have not tried Auto #1. But I am currently growing an autoseeds strain called purple cheese, and it has Auto #1 genetics...


I love this plant so far.

well went to the hydro shop today and was sort of disappointed. They didnt have really what I was looking for but did get some 3 gal. bags so the trip wasnt a waste. Got to talking to the guy who works there and was telling him about my plans and he tried to point me in a whole different direction. He bashed l.e.d. and told me to stay away and that I would be better off with T-5 or hps. Then tried to get soil and they were sold out of every pro-mix variety and didnt carry the organic which I wanted, so I checked out the FFOF and noticed a few bugs crawling out of the bag so I didnt get anything. Point is I have to do all of my ordering online and I was wondering if that was a smart idea? Im paranoid as it is and I dont want anyone putting two and two together.
 
Around this area most of the hydro shops are not that great and the LEDs that they carry tend to be the low budget models (i.e. low intensity and few color bands). So the salespeople tend to push the T5s and HPS/MH.
As for FFOF, if you find good fresh bags without bugs i recommend it. I buy online without worry, but I also am into other types of agriculture so I order many other things as well.

happy 420 to everyone.hope everyone is as baked as I am right now. went to order the promix organic and after shipping the total for one bag would have been 24$. a little pricey to me for a ten dollar bag of soil, so should I just get the FFOF? Im on a budget too right now so could I use some jiffy organic seed starting mix that I have lying around and then transplant into my other soil? also Im going to have to wait 2 to 3 weeks to order my led so would 4 25w cfls be enough to last the plants?and if so for how long? also after going back and forth on what kind of seeds i wanted I decided on sweet seeds cheese autoflower anyone have any info on this strain?
 
Might want to see if you can get an Amazon Prime trial membership. Free 2 day shipping on most of the Fox Farms product. Just looked at the FF ocean forest, $40 delivered, no tax, for the 1.5 cu ft bag. I think I paid $28 at the local store plus tax and gas. Plus, had to be on CCTV cameras. Cheaper locally, but less stealthy.
