thought id do a new journal thats more clean and more straight to the point.

this is from the 17th of july. I sprouted the first seed on about July 7th. The second one (not pictured) was sprouted about a week and a half after, after i figured "why not?"

These are from the 23rd. My grow temps were incredibly hot the, like 93 degrees. So I turned on the AC, did 2 exhaust and passive intake, and removed a 42 watt 2700K bulb. These pics are before any of the above were fixed.

Pictures from August 2nd, just before I removed a 2700K 42 watt and replaced it with a 23 watt (for heat purposes).
My box is sitting at about 84.5 degrees now.

Picture 1 & 2 are of the first plant, which I started to LST.
the 3rd and 4th pic is of the 2nd plant, which was started later, but is quickly catching up. already starting its own bend to the light, which will make a future LST easier.

the 1st plant grew a little too fast and rubbed up against the light, which caused some burns. they will show up on the next update in a few days. you can also see the tubes i have coming from my C02 generator (yeast and sugar in 16 oz bottles)

thanks. yeah temperature has made a world of difference. no sense in using as many lights as you can if the temperature isnt in check.

pictures from august 5th.
the plants have been growing a lot better now that i fixed the temp problem. but i keep trying to push the envelope, and added a 30 watt 2700K, which brought my temps up from 84.5 to about 86-87. Dunno if thats a bad idea. Maybe its just the nature of "warm" lights, but they seem to generate a lot more heat than the "cool" ones.

im pH'ing for the first time tomorrow. kind of excited in a geeky way to see what my soil has been at for about 3 weeks of growth.

pix 1 and 2 are of the first planted seed, pix 3 and 4 are of the second planted seed.

just pH'd the water for tomorrow and i was shocked to see my tap water is pH 9. Combining this with the crappy pH strips i used to have, which showed my water being at pH 5, you can imagine how much baking soda i added to the water i was giving my plants... id be surprised to get anything below pH 7 from my run off tomorrow.
