hey man i love how close your nodes are and have to say congrats.

where did you get those socket spliters?
could realy use one of those lol

thanks gamble, i picked those up for like 2 bucks at my local home/garden store. i could no find them at wallmart though.

for the record. i will advise all novices to stay away from vermiculite. its makes watering tricky... luckily im going to my closest hydro store here directly to get my new foxfarm soil

my mylar isnt to badly kinked, only kinda wavy on one side, and i doubt ill even switch to hps later like i was thinkin. im good friends with the shop man at work, hes helped me a fair amount with this grow, with my light setup mostly and various supplies grifted from work. He's been helpin in his spare time, but last night he called in a favor from me, and if i can get him some adirhol or similar hes gonna start helpin a lot more. he takes some ritalin type pills legit, for some kinda minor narcolepsy, and he traded a few to many of his..

catch yous guys later,

i love the light setup, how do you like it? it's compact and surrounds that shit.

nice setup, nice plants. kudos

I just got back from the hydro store, took a while to find it since it was my first trip but im back with new supplies. large bag of fox farm ocean forest soil, 2 2gal pots, 1 12" pot, rockwool cubes, and bat guano to go with my blood meal.

on the down side...it was hot today, and to boot my humidifier ran out as well. i got home and my temps were up to 92. time to get my mirror outta there, it was trapping too much heat. since i moved it temps are on a steady drop, down to 84 atm. about where it normally peeks and probably still dropping. plants were a bit droopy as you would expect, so i sprayed em down, filled up my humidifier and we will see how it goes, i suspect they will be fine.

ill try to get some pics up soon. now i gotta head right back out.

Laters,

Ery

"i love the light setup, how do you like it? it's compact and surrounds that shit." i like my set up for now, im hopin to expand it more though

ok, here are some pics since replants. one of my plants is still droopy but i think it got overwatered on replant. one of the smaller plants looks a little worse than the droopy one in general, i think it may be of a different seed. my "seedbank" is from 2 bags, both were very good. im fairly sure the 2 biggest are the same and from my best bag.

still thinkin the big stretched on is a fem. and i have came up with an idea to get it into 12/12 and keep min others 18-6. gonna take a large box and some flouro tubes im getting, with a cfl or 3 added. the tubes are nifty U shaped t8 4400k 32watt. gonna put 4 of em in the box one on each side on 42wat cfl on the top and mabe a y adapter with a fair size daylight cfl for kicker. will be checking into this tonight. for now i need to transplant it still... its in a 8in. pot now i think. maybe only a 6.5 i know its probably root bound. what do you think about the fimm job on the 2 big plants, thers a fim and a top on the stretched one. the top is on the low side thats kinda weak. and the fim on the main plant was too low, so i dunno how it will turn out. and check out the pretzel stem i did on the main plant... sorry to ramble

i think the heat burned the plants a little, it was that or maybe nute burn on the stretchy one and the main one. i hit the main one with MG before i got my bat guanno and blood meal.. but i think its probably the heat.

thanks all.

Things are still rolling on. i got me new U shaped flouros implemented, maybe not to the fullest extent. they are t8 4400k 32watters. also switched my lights to 12 12 a couple days ago. im in the process of switchin my 6500k bulbs to norm yellow/red bulbs.

the droopy plant is no longer droopy, and the stretched plant was startin to look kinda bad. im fairly sure the browning leaves on the main plant was from the heat. and now my other to plants and the main one to a lesser extent are getting yellow leaves on the bottom. is this normal or a nit. deficiency? when i watered them last they got a nice bat guanno tea, so hopefully that will help if its a nit thing. tried to get some molases to go with it but the store was out. i got some bloom nutes to feed em next watering. the plants seem to be diggin the fox farm soil. and overall id say things are goin good as can be at this point. posting some new pics.

any advice on the yellow leaves would be helpfull. and any general flowering advice too.
