5 would be a little much, but I was hoping to deal with it.


I do have a question though. I have the 20x22x4' box that has the capability of being 100% dark. I was thinking about not having a mother plant. Do you think I can just veg, then clone right before I flower? I want to flower one plant at a time to keep a small but kinda steady flow.

What do you think I should do?

Sad to report that we do have casualties. I was hoping that I would be doing a stellar first grow and impress the hell out of everyone, but of course, I'm not haha. Two of my seeds did dry up in the rockwool. That is completely my fault. I should have watered them more. I had read too many times that over watering is the biggest noob killer for plants, so I was afraid.

That being said, I have 2 extremely healthy sprouts, and one seed that I think may make it. The seed has all sorts of green stuff coming out so it looks happy. I am happy to only have 3 plants now though. I am going to re-work my lighting fixtures and make it so that each plant has its own 3 6500k daylight bulbs above and to the sides of it for maximum light.

I have the middle seed that may grow directly under 4 6500k cfls with 2 more 6500cfls on the side, if it doesn't sprout, I will be upset haha.

So, my camera just died so I can't upload pictures this second. I am going to charge it for a minute and then put them up on here.



I also made another carbon filter yesterday and took my time with it. I think it may work. My fan didn't bog down much at all, but the suction from it still seems pretty weak.

I have the 8" inline 500cfm fan 8' in the air in the ceiling venting into the attic. I also have a 75cfm 4" fan pushing area from the bottom area to the top, and a small fan circulating air. Do you think that the 8" is even doing anything? I guess there is no real way to tell until I get to time where stuff smells? What do you think?


Also, one more question. I have humboldt nutes and was wondering when to add them. Should I wait until the 3rd one sprouts, or should I try and take advantage of the health of the other 2?

Thanks guys!

please, questions, comments, etc!
