cant wait to see some vegetation!

shelbert008 · 02-09-2009, 04:42 PM

I've actually had a very bad experience with MG organic... When I opened up the bag some bugs flew out, and they were the same bugs that invaded my grow room. I instantly knew where they came from now, since I had used the same kind of soil previously. I still can't get rid of them, every time I try to start again, even with different soil, they still come back.

Looking good so far Thesalmon, can't wait to see the babies poking thier little heads out. Good luck!

Shelbert, how long has it been since you opened that bag and what kind of bugs were/are they?

shelbert008 · 02-09-2009, 09:57 PM

It's been well over a year since I had run into the problem originally. They were tiny little flying bugs, that fucking reproduce like mad. It's insane, they took over my grow room, so I had to bite the bullet and get rid of the plants and go on a complete cleaning of my grow room. And when I tried with some other normal non-organic soil, they somehow had survived and took over my other plants. I've been quite unsuccessful in getting rid of them.

You've got me pumped too!
Best of luck mate.
Stay safe.

TheSalmon · 02-13-2009, 01:13 PM

update 4 of the 6 seeds i germinated have sprouted and went in to soil today so its a glorious day!!! under the xbox 360 and on top of my satellite reciever box was the best place for my little seeds they loved under there

**Dandaweedman** · 02-13-2009, 03:43 PM

ahhh the heat of the game machine.
Where is the pictures?

GanjaGardener · 02-15-2009, 02:38 AM

hey Shelbert I had the very same problem from mg organic so I bought an anole and a house gecko and set em loose on my garden. They are doing such a good job I might even have to start buying them food haha

TheSalmon · 02-15-2009, 05:52 PM

so kind of a rook question here but how long after i put those seeds in to the party cups should i expect to see some sprouts above ground i have the light going at 20/4 light/dark am i just an over worried parent??

Cerebro · 02-15-2009, 06:40 PM

what did you do?
you sprouted them.
then put them into cups.
did you bury them? how deep?
if only the tail had popped then it can take a few days for the plant to rise-up.

TheSalmon · 02-16-2009, 09:34 PM

ya i put them about 1/2 inch below the ground ...i put plastic bags over the cups and it created a moisture chamber and one sprouted right up today made my day the little green bastard made me smile when i got home from work today ill put up pics in the coming days

GratefulDead · 02-16-2009, 09:38 PM

Very nice scro, you are living the American dream. Hopefully I will get my own apartment soon so I can start an indoor grow.

TheSalmon · 02-17-2009, 09:22 PM

i am a total newb i burnt up my 5 little beauties they got way too hot and now are gone.... so went and bought a couple cfls haha i never realized just how much heat that HPS was putting out its incredible how much heat that thing gives off.... a lesson learned the hard way .... so 4 remaining seeds went under the xbox today and probably put in to soil again tomorrow

Cerebro · 02-17-2009, 09:33 PM

cfl's will do much better for you in early veg.

TheSalmon · 02-21-2009, 07:32 PM

so more bad news and a little warning to everyone don't ever buy MG organic potting soil my roommate went in to check on my plants and put the last seed in the soil and saw on top of one of the cups of soil that i have had a spider mite sitting on the lip of the cup...so lets hope this was just a one isolated little bastard that was in just a small part of the soil... as soon as my plants get a little bit big im gonna get them out of that shit ASAP... just gonna go find some regular potting soil and mix some nuts in hopefully this works alot better man this growing thing is more complicated than one would think ... i have a feeling this is gonna turn in to an addiction tho....but a damn good one

TheSalmon · 03-01-2009, 12:30 AM

update plants are now 9 days above ground looking very healthy ... would have pics but the gf has my camera... but i have a question when is a good time to move them out of party cups they are in now???? and whats the best way to transplant my baby girls

TheSalmon · 03-06-2009, 09:12 PM

Update-- 2 Weeks into Veg

Right now got 3 healthy plants, very happy about that. Just Xfered to 3 gallon containers today from their party cups. Having some issues with heat and humidity so I bought a humidifier and threw an oscillating fan in the mix. Only things needed at this point are a ph tester and a temp/humid gauge.
