Well hello everyone, here is the start of my grow log.
I wanna make a shout out to the person who gave me these seeds, 'what up neighbro' you know who you are
I am growing three unfeminized g-13 labs power skunk plants as well as trying for experience purposes to re-veg a random bagseed sativa that I just harvested.
I am using two gallon buckets with a whole drilled in them about two inches up with hydroton in the bottom of the buckets about up to the hole. above the hydroton is a layer of sphagnum moss and above that is sunshine mix.
I have a 400w hps and a small cfl that i am not sure of the wattage. I plan on using Fox farm Grow Big and Tiger Bloom, I also have Hydroguard, superthrive, and Monster Bloom if needed and I plan on using molasses for the later flowering period.
I am growing in my attic so I have attached a duct from my central a/c, heating unit to the box to keep temps where they should be and I vent out of an exhaust duct already in my roof that was for a bathroom. Also I have insulated the box with that thick pink insulation stuff to help temps.
Well here are some pics.

Any comments and suggestions welcome!

The waiting is extremely hard.
I keep a log of everything I do, just a simple notepad document, and looking back I'm like holy crap....all that happened?...

For me today is kind of a slow day. Sick at home hoping for some seeds to pop through the soil and waiting for the second set of real leaves of my seedlings.

Pretty soon I'll be running 450watts of HPS and using FF nutes and superthrive. Also FFOF soil with about 10% perlite

Sounds a little slow to me, but I just transplanted in those 3gallon pots, switches to Ocean forest soil and am going to be adding nutes in a week so hopefully they shoot up.

My man is gonna have some top notch buds with that 400 watter..So am I
