first "real" grow

So my last/first grow came out satisfactory for me. I only used a 4' 8 lamp t5, with a mixture of aquarium bulbs. I used the same bulbs talked about in the "L.E.D.'s without l.e.d.'s" novel of a thread. While I will continue to use this fixture for clones/vegging I just can't justify spending the money on bulbs and fixtures to get the amount of intensity/par that I would want. I would need at least 6-8 fixtures, plus bulbs which are more than fixtures for a set of 8 for flower and veg. Anyway long story short, I got 6.5oz off that one plant under the t5. Quality was very good too, better than I expected for first grow. Anyway I ordered some seeds from sannie and have 2 Killing Fields, 1 Mad Shack, and 4 K.O. Kush plants going that i started from seed. I'm probably going to pop the rest of the seeds pretty soon just incase i end up with a bunch of males. I got all fem seeds except the K.O. kush. I just "half-finished"(now operational)my new room. For now it will serve as veg and flower room, until i finish the veg room. It's about 4'x8'x6.5'. I got all the duct/flanges/reducers for carbon filter->light>fan>blowing out of room. This brought temps of 88 down to 72 as of this morning. I hope that's not too cold, 75 "feels to me" pretty ideal, not hot, not cold. I just transplanted them from solo cups into 5 gal containers to finish in. I used 1 bag of ocean farm, 1 bag light warrior, 1 bag happy frog, and i mixed in 5lbs of guano and seabird poo, 25-30% perlite and 10% vermiculite as well as some mycorrhizae powder stuff. I will try to get some pictures up sometime soon. All of the seeds from sannie sprouted, my dumbass put 3 of the 10 in a different spot on top of an entertainment center and forgot so they died, but all of his beans sprouted and only 1 of the 7 i didn't forget about is a runt. Very excited to get the new room done, new big light, carbon filter running, looks like i semi-know what i'm doing now.
