hey hot house you got a new fan man your grow is looking amazing went through a lot of post and watched your vids and have a couple questions sorry couldnt read them all so im sure u have heard these before but how long did you veg for? 2 day marks day 10 for me and i have a hydro drip system in rockwool kinda like yours. Feel free 2 stop by my journal any time. Any help or wisdom that you can throw my way would be very much appreciated. + rep for starting a rookie but growing pro buds.

thanks pig! I appreciate the kind words. I honestly cant remember off hand how long I vegged, I think like two months. Ill check my calander in the room tomrorow and give ya 4sho answer. But I really didnt make the change based on any schedule. They where getting way to fucking tall and I was afraid I would run out of room.. damn near did to.. Tried to do a lil training and thought I killed big girl (snapped branch). she is doing great now though. glad to have ya here!! even though ya a noles fan! lol jk

Go tigers! National Champs!

haha I hate my self sometimes for being a Noles fan 2. Grew up in a gator house my whole life and just ended up at fsu so whats a kid to do for the veg I am running a 24/0 but thinking of switching to 18/6 is that what you ran?

my next grow I will have aeroponics and a soil grow going.. I went with hydro with this one because I had more info on it. Now that i have found a place here at riu I plan on trying as many different mediums as possible. IM going with aeropoincs this grow because someone gave me a shit load of equipment and expects something from it, so aero is supposed to be the quickest way to grow with good yield but lose quality of bud. Most opinion seems to be that soil is the best. Im gonna test both theory.

yea I ran 18/6 did a couple of days on my seedlings of 24. with straight florecents just like in the I grow grn vid.. switched to cfl a couple weeks in when grnman wised me up to it.. had stretching going on like a mofo!
