Nice looking set-up there, Cid. I posted a comment there.

Another update: I GOT MY 400W MH LIGHT!!! The wife just called me. The idiot didn't even stealth package it. Says right there on the mfg's box what it is - Hydroponic Grow Light system. Great, now the Fedex delivery guy knows what I'm doing. Fucktard.

I have been growing other things besides ganja for about 2 yrs. I am just now starting to grow ganja. I have bought lots of Hydro lights before. I dont think you should worry about it. You can grow anything hydro not just weed. So dont worry about it.

Endoe, yeah I know this but I live in very sunny South Florida. Trust me, 99% of gardeners using indoor lights aren't growing tomatoes, know what I'm saying?

you just want your own orchid collection, thats it...

actually, i'm thinking of growing some of those pretty flowers once i got some spare equipment to throw at them... they're delicate though, hence them being done hydro!

Update time. I've finally built my grow-box. I still have a bit of work to do on the ventilation but it suits my needs perfectly. I'm using a computer fan that pulls about 60 CFMs to vent but I think I need to get into the 80s or 90s. I have attached 25' of ducting with the intent of venting into the attic. I haven't yet cut the hole in the ceiling. Also, I'm considering running some ducting from a AC vent directly into the grow-box. The temp in the grow-area was averaging 100F and that was with 2 fans blowing into the area. Yes, I have work to do on cooling.

That being said, the plants look good. MK1, MK2 and EM1 range from 6"-8". EM2, the late comer, is about 4" but developing nicely. I noticed a little yellowing on the lowest leaves on MK1 over the weekend and even though this is normal as a plant matures, I felt it a little too early for this to be happening. So, this watering I added a little Foxfarm Grow Big - 1/4 tsp per gallon. Depending on how they accept this, I may start incorporating these nutes from now on. They are outside currently, enjoying some of mother nature's very own natural sunlight. The 3 bigger plants already have 5 sets of leaves. Once they reach between 12"-18", I plan on taking a couple clones and sexing them. That still at least 2 or 3 weeks away. I'll try on posting another update later this week or unless something warrants an earlier update.

Thank, JP. I appreciate it.

Not a whole lot new to report. I watered the plants yesterday again with a mixture of 1 gallon unchlorinated tap water, 1/4 tsp FF Grow Big and 1/8 tsp of Superthrive. This was their 2nd watering with very light nutes. I'm using about 1/2 gallon water between all 4 plants - so each plant is taking about 1/8 gallon each watering (every other day). They appear to be doing fine. I've managed to get the temps down in the box to around 97F. I have my eye on an exhaust fan that pulls about 250 CFMs that should help remedy the problem. My plan is to transplant to bigger pots this weekend. I'll post another update on Monday.

Hey hearmenow.
I have finished the 3 from my first grow.
I pulled the 4th for a clone mom.

I am growing out the mom now and 10 clones.
I have pulled one of the clones for a new mom.
I hope to order some seeds here before I start my third grow.
I will probably go with White Russian (ak-47x WW)

I figure I can keep atleast 10 clones rolling into flower every 8-10 weeks.

I plan on keeping this midgrade line going for a while.
I would like to keep it as a regular stock. (always on hand)
I hope to start getting about 8-10 oz's every 2 mo's.
I want to fill a freezer with it.

Good to hear you got some more equipment.
It is going to be atleast 2 more grows before I can afford the lights and setup that I want.

Good luck with your grow.

Thanks, mids. Sounds like you have a nice little ops going there. There's no way I could manage that many plants without getting busted. I'm also looking for a 2nd HID light, this time an HPS. I initially had planned to veg with the MH and get a conversion HPS bulb. But the cheapest conversion bulb is $50 (most are $80-$100) and for a little bit more, I could pick up a used HPS sytem. The system I am using now ran me under $100. Good luck with your smoke!

Good luck to you to Hearmenow.

Yeah, I wish we could get some sort of Rollitup swap meet action going on here.
I think everyone is to scared to sell to keep anonymity.
