I would love to help, it was a blast building this thing. Im going to try using this box through the summer but when winter comes im going to build a freaking bad ass CFL/HPS box that is bigger and better in my garage. Here is a little pic i took today.... it will be a few days before i get more pictures up, as my in-laws will be here tonight for a week and they are staying in the room next to my grow room...LOL. Im not worried at all, vent is 100% working like it should.

inlaws ha you poor thing, lucky i dont have those these days, looking tip top mate, should notice a difference in a week.

cool man appreciate it, I will pm u everything and hit u up with a couple pics of what im working with

Hey guys, I mixed tiger bloom and big bloom in a one gallon jug a few days ago and capped it. I uncapped it today to water my babies but it smelled really strong like viniger. Is that ok? Was i not suppose to mix both together? I never noticed this before, but before i never capped it. I had an opportunity to feed the babies today and watered them with the mix, hope it doenst do anything to them. Should i worry?

- update -

Found out it was the chlorine in the bottle, I filled it with tap water then put the nutes in right after and capped it. So the chlorine built up in the bottle causing it to stink. I dumped the rest of the gallon and re-filled it but this time I will let the bottle stay open for a day before adding any nutes. I hope this will eliminate any chlorine build up that would make it stink. I dont think it will harm the plants any, just annoying really.

Yea man, you should water just after you mix it, just make sure the water/mix is at room temp and it's well shaken. Nutes go bad fast, so if any's left over toss it, and mix again when you're ready to water again

Cool thanks. This is one thing i didnt know. There really isnt a ton left over anyways from a gallon so this should be fine.

hey no prob, especially if you mix in mollasas, goes bad after a day or 2

Now that the in-laws are here, everything is fine (I hope it stays that way) and even though I cant be down there all the time, I can stream my webcam anywhere and watch them. Even my phone. Check it out!! If they start drooping, I run down there and water them.

lol thats pretty fuckin cool

885 watts, temps at 70-72. I was able to snap a few pictures today... starting to fatten up and forming some trichomes now... Let me know what you guys think. I am able to get down there maybe once a day but thats it.

I feel like they are crawling into my brain. Nice update keep doin what your doin I'll keep droolin.

Fuck, the power went out here for 45 minutes today, bitches had no light for 45 minutes. You guys think thats ok? or do you think that ups the chances of hermie? Upped the wattage to 945 today as well.

i wouldnt worry, ive stressed mine plenty with lighting and so far so good,

Yea nothin to get too worried about. I would say anything like 12 hours would be a problem. 45 minutes you should be golden. I set up my timer and the damn thing was so difficult I'm sure the lights were off for at least 45 minutes. The other night I dropped my baby George about 4 feet, soil went everywhere. I picked him up and molded him back to shape. He's come right back to life like nothing ever happened. They are strong plants. Cycles affect them more then one time accidents.

Thanks, yeah the power fluctuated today about twice, they were off for like 5 minutes each so not as bad as yesterday. I think the power company was working on something. Im glad my timers have battery backup so I dont have to reprogram them. These plants are getting FAT!! I wonder how much bigger they will get? pretty damn fat im guessing. You were right del, this week they are really coming around. What are the first indicators that the plant is matured and done? The majority of the stipules all turn red/orange? I know I have a ways yet but my last grow was in 1996 and they were not too great, even with HPS. Back then we couldnt order seeds like you can online, you relied on clones from friends or just bag seeds, which I grew a shitload of bagweed that never really came out very good. These are by far way better than anything I ever grew back then and this is my first go at it!! lol.

Is it pretty much impossible to know the strain of the plants? I know that there are two pairs that are the same. In the picture plants 1 & 2 Smell earthy, sweet but not skunky. (im very bad with smells). Grew the same heights, very short fat leaves typical indicas. Plants 3 & 4 are the same ones as well. Plant 3 was a runt, and is way behind its sister plant 4. Both had a strong skunk smell at the beginning now its tapered to more of a sweet skunk/fruity smell. Taller than the other two plants, but still has fatter leaves that a typical sativa. Plants 3 & 4 im guessing are 50/50 hybrids. 3 & 4 also have higher trichrome production. I originally had 7 seeds given to me when I bought a bag of dank, but were not in the bag. I germinated 4 and all 4 were females. The guy I got the seeds from told me he was quitting and gave me what he had left. So I have no idea what these babies are, and I didnt ask the guy. I dont even know him, this was a friend of a friend thing. Im assuming they are prob a popular strain as they were most likely feminized seeds. What do you guys think? -edit- these are 1 week old pics...
