when are you gonna have it all set up? if i were u, i would use this opportunity before getting everything started to line the inside of my box with mylar or even inside out xmas wrapping paper. will reflect lots of light and look more professional also if u take time to make it neat. :Þ

I go there late at night sometimes or early in the morning to shop and when im at the check out they look at you all funny. and im standing there looking at them stoned as fuck like wtf are you looking at and just ring me up and take my money lol. have u use that paper b4?

Great looking cab man. I hear that flat white paint can be a very efficient reflector for walls. It's aslo cost effective over mylar.

Go to wal-mart or target and buy a couple emergency blankets from the camping section, they are mylar one maybe 2 to cover your grow area, they are like 2 dollars a piece you cant grow wrong...o and i would say the best way to attach it to your walls would be with Elmer's spray on adhesive....there is no messing with tape and it sticks really well to the walls i used it on mine and worked great

You and I are doing almost the exact same grow my friend. I am getting online tonight to pick up some bigger CFL's. I'm living where electricity impact is somewhat of a concern, so I'm a little confused where to start. I'll get my grow journal going up here tonight or tomorrow. We should totally keep tabs man!

Yeah i checked at my wal mart for those. there out idk if ppl got scared and bought the whole fucking stock of em or what. so I am patiently waiting and gonna go to a diff wal mart in the next town to look for it if not. then looks like imma be a painter today!!!

Looks like you got all the right stuff... especially ferts. Be VERY carefull when using ferts on young autos... I would not fertilize them until they are at least 3 weeks old and then only a quarter dose. Also use large pots... right from the beginning. With autos it's tempting to think "small plant=small pot" If you use too small a pot the plants will be friggin TINY!
DOO GOOD!

Oh yea! Please dont overwater the little bastards! Put some sand in your mix and completely soak the mix about every 5-6 days. Easy to want to overwater. Better to let them show you when they need water. They will simply droop! Add water and presto...just like a hard-on!
One more real important thing... DONT TELL OR SHOW ANYONE YOUR GROW, THATS HOW THINGS GO BAD!

yeah. I got 8 inch pots to set them in. Im going to start them in rockwool cubes. I got fox farm ocean soil do i still need to add the sand or w/e u said? and dont add none of those ferts till 3 weeks? on growth chart says first week use big bloom?
