Just a couple more pics I did some minor changes to the box after I took the pics so you guys will have to wait for those... I changed my lighting array a bit so I now I have 6 bulbs total 4 42w and 2 26w so 220w total the 2 26w add some blue spectrum to the box...I like the coverage I am getting and my temps stay good with just passive intake and one pc fan for exhaust, staying between 80-85... you will see in the pics the results of some early nute experiments i buned some leaves, also you will see another experimetn 2 of the cups have plants that are clones (kind of) I had a plant that I harvested the 2 lowest branches had little underdeveloped buds so I cut the brnches and stuck each in a rockwool cube andwhat do you know roots began and now I have what looks to be a bud growing I will take some closeups of it tomorrow..as always questions and POSITIVE comments are welcome,

based on my experiments it has has taken at least 3-4 weeks so my plan is to start new seeds when and if any males show I want to always have the box full my lights are in a fixed position but I have found using empty cups works to get the plants closer to the lights so it should all work.....

i have lots of bagseed, it would be interesting seeing different kinds growing.....

so do I and the ones I have grown so far have been really good so I figured might as well grow them until they are gone.

welcome.. I water everyday for the first 2 weeks or so and then every other day... I love the hempy bucket method it is really simple imho.....

well nothing to really report plants are looking ok, I have a few random photos you will see the 2 "clones" I mentioned and also the new light array. I have decided to eliminate the dynagrow bloom for now and use a mixture of fish emulsions and molasses... i think the bloom was giving me some burn I may add it back later when buds are developing... as it stands i have 12 cups 2 are the "clones" I will wait about 2 weeks and see if any males show and I will start another batch of seeds to fill the box then... I a considering topping them all but I havent decided yet... suggestions?
