Number one rule of security!!!! Tell no one!!!!
I have many good friends who will share in the bounty but as before I wish to remain " the guy that always had the good stuff" . Which means I don't really have anybody to help bounce ideas with. Here is a pic of a Pineapple Kush at 15 days from insertion into soil. and another of Sour Diesel Twins.

Thanks. Those pics were a couple of days ago and ive got a few more. of the whole setup except my new/old original flowering cabinet, which I am trying to upgrade to 600watt. Heat is killing me and Im at 300 watt on an adjustable ballast.

Lookin Good G-Pops, Looks Like a very Healthy Seedling. About The Right Size For 2 weeks. can you not downgrade to maybe a couple 100w CFL's for a couple weeks till you can upsize your grow space to accommodate either the 300w or 600w.

Can you afford aircon?

If not place a bucket of cold water into your grow room daily (you can add ice too), the water needs to be about 1-2inchs from the rims, then place your oscillating fan and/or/etc so that it blows over the surface of the water gently rippling it. = Wind Chill Factor :)

Quick question about pictures. which is better thumbnails or full size. Personally I hate opening and clising 10 pictures in a post but I can understand if full image is restricted. New guy and I don't want to start on the wrong foot.
I like full pics but I never post them lol.

If you post a ton of pics, most people won't look at them all (myself included). If it's to the point, the fine folks of riu will take care of you.

hello I like your plant and I like you and full size is best in my opinion, it takes ages for those little ones to appear for me for some reason

i like putting up thumbs, jus add all your photos then hit the multiple thumb button on the top of pic list, will add them all to a slide type of viewing.

So here we are 15 years later and the kids have moved out. I have been given the go ahead to once again have a go at growing our own.
A quick pic trip through the garden. 15 seeds transferred from baggy directly into seed starting soil pre watered and drained with 3 drops super thrive and 1/2 cap full fox farm grow big in 1 gallon de chlorinated water. (seeds placed upside down.. oops) at day 8 we transplanted all into these 1.5 gallon pots filled with FFOF again watered and drained with same solution - fresh stuff though.
Today is Day 18 from soil insertion.

What happened to the first paragraph I just wrote? Dang it! At least the signature stayed that describes my cabinet.

If the paragraph you're talkiing about is in your first post, my guess is that it got buried by the pic.
It happens - I usually hit the "more options" button & that will let you see what your final post is gonna look like.

BTW, looks like you still "have it". :wink:

Thanks, I will watch for that. It just gave some background. THey look so good to me I havn't really done anything. a couple times a day I drop the outer screen on the veg cab and flood with co2. Today was the first watering with Grow big - 3 caps to a gallon. used almost two gallons shared until just got bottom drainage. a good foliar feed top and bottom and a good hour long bask in the tent at 83 deg and a couple refills of co2. they met me this evening with big smiles. and a little more sheen to the leaves.
