What up RIU,

Been on here for years now but never posted anything. Well got an indoor tent that I started yesterday and feel like sharing my journey with all of you great people. Yesterday I got 4 cherry pie clones from my local dispensary. All the plants were rooted in soil and are all very healthy and pest free. Nearly as soon as I got them home I threw them under my 2-4' 4 bulb T5's. After this immediately to the hydro store and got some FFOF and perlite to transfer them into 5 gallon buckets (3:1 soil/perlite). Transplanted last night and the girls took off quickly with no signs of stress. Looking to top them either tomorrow or the next day and start some lst when they bounce back from topping. My plan is to add a screen in a few weeks and use the scrog method as this has done well for me previously. I know cherry pie is not the biggest yielder so I'm hoping this will help with that. Stay tuned!

I love the set up bro, keep us updated I'll be watching. Why not try an MH though?

If I can pick up a cheap mh id definitely be down and have been wanting to. I just have the t5's so it was just easier to do a quick plug and play to get the plants going.

No. The ducting in the window is the air out the tent and out the house.

So someone is selling a used 400w Metal Halide w/ ac hood and dimmable ballast for $75. Is this a good price? And is it truly worth the $ going from t5 to MH? I could use that 75 bucks towards electricity bill....

Years ago I used a 400 watt mh grew fantastic buds using vertical method, i think you will trip on the brightness of a new 400 watt bulb, they put out like 42000 lumens, sounds like a super good price on a set up ,

Its been 7 days of veg, time for a picture update. I have already started to lst the plants. Forgot to take more pre lst pics but I guess that doesnt really matter now. The plants are developing lots of side branching already. If I hadn't already mentioned I will be using AN Jungle Juice M/G/B best bang for the buck in my opinion. First feeding was at lights on last night. Time to watch these babies explode. Any questions or tips, feel free to ask or drop knowledge. Well time for a dab and some pics. Peace!
