Any and all feedback is welcome. I will be updating as often as possable, and would love some company as I Flower the current plants, and start the new ones.

Pull up a chair!

So today is day two for my new seedlings, and they have grown quite a bit in 48 hours. The only thing I am worried about is the high temps in the rubbermaid box... About 90 degrees. I don't know how else I can cool it down, other than opening the top so more air gets in.

The flowering plants haven't shown much change, except for my big girl being rather droopy when the lights come back on every morning.

Hopefully things will cool down and bloom up. Light one up for me! Some pictures for your viewing pleasure.

for starters stop watering them so freaking much. wait until the soil is dried out to water them. your stunting your plants and rotting the roots. the roots need oxygen just as much as they need water, but the water deprives the roots of oxygen. so you need to let them dry out in between watering.

if its hot in there youll probably need an intake and an exhaust fan.

I water every three of four days, and I also do have a 4" exhaust fan in the top... As well as a 3/4" passive intake in the bottom. The temps are still rather high.

I watered the seedlings for the first time before heading to work today, so hopefully when I return home tonight I will have some good growth to show ya'll. I am thinking about adding Blood Meal to my Flowering plants, simply because they have been suffering from Nitrogen def. for the entire grow. I also noticed that a phosphorus problem could be showing itself, so I will try to find a reasonable way to remedy that as well.

can you tell me whats with leaving the tap water out overnight. personally where im from never had any problems with tap water ?
