Thanks for the reply..... I am only 8 days into flowering now. I have another 600 watts on the way giving the ladies 1200 HPS within days. Would you still recommend trimming with the extra light? First time grower here buddy....

Thanks for the reply. Care to elaborate? I knew I was working with a lot of space for such little light. I don't have the amperage to go any higher though. Once the 5X5 came, I with I had gone with 4X4.

Not much to update. Growth continues. Not one reply to my thread here, don't know what's so unappealing. Maybe some criticism would help? I won't be as detailed anymore as maybe that's just boring? Anyway, flipped them into flower Jan 5-6. Here is a photo the day before flower, and the first...

12/28/12 I am adjusting my light cycle. Hope it doesn’t affect them too much. Lights will now be running from 0400-2200. This way they are running whenever I am home. I am also noticing my Fill pump is taking a lot longer. The only thing I can assume is now that the nutrient solution is...

12/25/12 Woke up late for work this morning so I couldn’t check on the babies when I woke up. At 1:30pm, this photo was taken. Some new growth here. Will add some nutrients tomorrow. 12/26/12 1:30PM-Get home from work. Girls are about 30 minutes from nap time and done eating for the...

12/23/12 I’m sitting on the couch watching the football game and it dawns on me. I think I may be over watering. I’m using less light and fewer plants than he is and I don’t think he’s going 4 times a day. So after referring back to my printout of GreenThumbSucker’s journal, it’s confirmed. He’s...

2/21/12 Starting at 8PM (when the lights come on), I will run start flooding these manually and watching them as they flood. I will log the time it takes to flood and drain, then set them to water 4 times a day dispersed evenly over the 18 hours of light. I will have them water as soon as the...

12/17/12 So my 18 hour lighting schedule is still 2000-1400. Today at 1230 the power went out. It did not come back on till 2330. I will do my best to adjust/get it back on schedule while giving the proper light. Runt is not getting any better. 12/18/12 4:30AM-50ML of 300PPM nutrient solution...

12/16/12 9AM-Today is my day off so before football starts, I get all my rock wool situated in the pots. I safely “injected” 1ML of 300PPM nutrient solution into each cube then transferred the rooted cubes to the pots. 8PM-Lights on as it’s good morning for the ladies. I now have the ballast...

12/15/12 4:30AM – I check on the girls, they are looking the same as the night before. 8PM – I safely “inject” the cubes with 3ML of 300PPM nutrient solution. I then flood my buckets in order to get a time table on how long they take to flood and drain, or Ebb and Flow :) Uh oh……. As I...

-One 464CFM inline fan on a speed controller. I am using the fan on high when the lights are on and halfway when lights are off. When guests are over, I turn the fan all the way down as to not draw attention. I do not notice a temperature difference when using low or half speed. I just use half...

-Mylar liner grow tent. 5X5’ and 6’ tall. I’m really impressed with the quality of this thing. I have a sump pump in the tent flowing back to my reservoir. It is turned on when enough water initiates the float ball switch. It’s an insurance policy if you will. Although I found out in the event...

In my research, I came across a thread that provided a lot of perspective in a variety of ways. I list it below. Ideally, I’d like to contribute the same way. I noticed in his thread, there were talks of “hijacking” and whatnot. I don’t care about that here. Anything that could possibly...
