Well Here Goes Again

This is my second grow since I got my Medical Marijuana Card. Quick summary from my last Journal. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in December of 2009 after some Dr. visits and a couple MRI's. I injured my back in the late summer, and it was the trigger for a relapse. :sad: It ended up being a herniated disc, which I am now trying to rehab. I was prescribed Cannabis for lower back pain (a many year issue) in July 2009. I had to move across the state to be near my new Neurologist. I worked on this grow room to be able to afford medicine. Cannabis helps with spasticity to a HUGE extent for me.
Last year I spent the spring and summer landscaping for an old family friend, and have done a lot of landscaping on my property. My mother is a Master Gardener and I've helped her with houseplants, and her lawn projects since I was a child. I'm a firm believer that one should be a "Jack of All Trades and a Master of None." and "specialization is for ants".
My first grow I got 119 grams from 3 Royal Kush. It took a long time to get the clone and vegging going. Rough clones took a LONG time to get going. I used my own soil mix. I used Fish Emulsion, Morbloom 0-10-10, and some MG Miracid. My smoke was as good as what my caregiver has for me.
This is 2 Indicas. Not sure of strains. There were 6 cloned off 2 different strains. They were under a 400W MH and then a 400W HPS (for a bit) waiting for a CMH bulb to get here. I love it and would recommend them fully. 3 were given to a local caregiver, 1 was kept to veg under the 400W CMH and these 2 were started flowering in my A Medicinal Refridgerator or it's grow journal Two Queens Stuffed in a Fridge A 150W CMH for the first 20 days of their flowering. So now their flowering chamber has a new exhaust system, and a new intake system,drip tray, and a full bleach cleaning.
I follow a ton of RiddleMe and Uncle Ben's view of growing. I moved to some CMH's and love them. I'll get some pics of my set-up first, then the two plants for this journal. Feel Free to comment and give advice.

Hell ya dude Im here for the ride, Your shit always looks tight when you use that Jack-Of All-Trades skills of yours and thats what I dig about your threads. Trying to find the right power source for my 137 cfm fan from New Egg you talked about. Using a 5v right now and not near enough speed to exhaust my veg cab.

Peace

The fan is .6A so by IAm5toned's 120% at least a .72A is safe and reliable. I use a 800mA or 833 mA for 1. For the dual exhaust fans, that Power Supply 1.5A.

Glad to have all of you following along.

Sorry Chainseeker, but now I hear Fluffy is better so I'll be going for that. There was a re-evaluation of my goal for this round.:hump:

Thanks GB, I will have to check it out. Been looking at the used stores and no luck so far.
I get mine from Goodwill or the Rescue Mission. If you're in my town, good luck:twisted: If you have either of these try them. Radioshack does have higher Amp ones too. I'll check their site.
Daniels:blsmoke:

http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3875403 12v 1A for $20 and you can slow it down if needed. I can't find the one I was looking for though.

Remember volts x amps = watts. So 12 x .500 milliamps = 6 watts, so does 9 volts x .67ish milliamps, and then 6 volts x 1 amp. It will run a little different on each voltage, but it will get you close to desired output. Hope this helps you out in your searching.

It definitely does help. Headed out the door in a little bit to round some things up, New pot's, light blocking material, and fingers crossed, a new power supply for the fan.:hump:

You could also wire an old pc power supply up so it can run multiple fans. All you have to do is cut two wires and twist them together.

the first shot with the 2 colas looked much bigger than the rest, made it look farther along. it will still be a good producer.
