Soil: Fox Farm Ocean Forest
Light: Sun System T5 8tube Floro (4 tubes removed)
Wall lining: Panda Film 6 mil
Fan: EcoFan Supreme 440cfm
Temp: average of 79.
Humidity: 51 - 53%
Water: Commercial RO water (Zepherhills)
Additives: 1 drop Superthrive per gal, and 5ml Rizotonic per gal

Germination technique: 16oz of RO water brought to a boil to sterilize. I ground up and placed 1 birth control pill per 1.5 oz of water in the boiling water. After pills were fully dissolved, water was cooled to 75 degrees. Then 3 glasses were filled with the water, 3 seeds in each glass, and they were soaked over night. The next morning seeds were moved to paper towels and left for 2 more days. Once they all had cracked they were put in Fox Farm and fed the remainder of the BC pill water for their first watering. (This is the only time I'm using BC pills. They supposedly will raise the probability of getting females by 15%, we'll see.)

The first week was a bit crazy ... The first two days I had all 8 tubes in the reflector and my temps were getting up to 85 degrees at plant level with the light almost 1.5 feet above the plants. I restructured my ducting to pull more air out of the room and brought temps down to about 82. My wife then suggested removing 50% of the lamps since the space is so small, doing this brought the temps down to 79 - 81 with the light less than 6" above the plants.

They had one night where they started to get light at 3am, at 3:30 copters were flying around my neighborhood trying to catch drag racers. I hadn't sealed my window yet and temps had me keeping the room open so I panicked and turned off the lights until 6 am, this was supposed to be their first night of light. I'm sure I had nothing to worry about, but better safe than sorry. The next day I sealed the window of the room with panda film. They've been getting 18 hours ever since, from 5am - 11 pm.

I gave them their second watering with a mixture of 1 drop of superthrive per gal and 5ml of Canna Rizotonic per gal.

They've been in soil for 4 days now. I added more soil to the pots to stabilize the plants a bit more, they were dangerously close to toppling over.

Here are the pics.

Looking good. Subscribed.

I just went into flowering. I'm using a 1000w hps in a Sunhut grow tent in my garage. What sucks is my temps are about 87 and my RH is about 55.

Good luck man.

Almost three weeks in and had some issues.

The fastest growing AK-47 woke up one morning and had light 'copper' looking spots all over it's first leaves. I flushed the soil (I have not used any nutes yet just a 1/3 bit of superthrive and 1/3 of Rizotonic), moved the lights back a little, put a light spritz of Fungiside on all the plants, and hoped. The next morning all the new leaves on that AK had the same issue, but on that plant only, she got culled out of the grow . It hurt but if it was somethign that could be transmitted to the other plants I wanted it gone. The camera had gone MIA so I couldn't get any pics.

The Belladonna's and Northern Lights are looking really nice and happy. New pics as we near the end of week three from seed. The white spots on the leaves are the fungiside left over from 5 days ago, it doesn't seem to be effecting the plants negatively.

And then there were 8

The two remaining AK's.. One has a little brown spot right on the end of one leave (it's the one in the back) it's barely noticable with the eye, but even more hard to see in the pics, that's why there are three pics. Can you see it?
