Couple more items I missed in the first post.

Only window in room is small and hidden at side of house. I have it plastered with some more cardboard. Duct tapped and stappled. I've checked it at night and it's A OK.

Haven't done much about the floors n walls. Flattened out some cardboard boxes that had a matt black finish. Put the plants on a folding door for a clothes closet that is painted matt white.

Next grow I'll line the walls with that nice wite plastic with reverse side black. Might be a special name for this product but don't know.

peace yellowsnakes

Grew up in the lower mainland, finished grade 12 in '71 at Centenial Secondary in Coquitlam. Smoked allot of joints in Sherweed forest across the street from the school. Smoked my first bag of weed in '65 and have pondered the insanity behind pot prohabition, figured out early how fucked up the powers to be are.

The part with the helicopter flying low overhead had me at the edge of my seat. That was intense.

i watched them all. good stuff. it made me laugh, it made me cry, it had it all. i realy felt for him, but something tells me he didn't spend 200k on it. ihave been to Calgary. it was a ong time ago. I would love to go to BC, preferably Whistler during winter, but i bet the summer months are the shit. i spent 12 years growing up and playing in the Colorado Rockies. Damn I miss the mountains.

Clones seem to be doing fine. This is only day four since I cloned them.
No droping, nice n green
Temp is between 80° - 85°
Humidity is kept at 86%, I mist every couple hours when I'm home.
No nutrients except for the root stimulant powder.
Actually I used some Miracle Grow in the growing medium when I mixed it up the night before
I saoked the perlite and vermiculite mix 24hours before cloning night :mrgreen:

Probably in a week. I was hoping they would get a little taller. Seeds were free. :weed:

I don't have clue what strain of marijuana this is.

A week later since my last photo upload, it being week twelve now. Here's some more. One photo has the male and females identified.

anyways ...

400w MH for 18on/6off
water 3 litres each day, once a day
don't know the water or soil PH, wish I had a meter. I'll have to get one of those fancy digital ones ;-)

Miracle Grow 8-7-6 nutrients, mixed ar 80% of instructions
mist when I'm home every couple hours, humidity is low, around 18%
ventilation, non to speak of. Turn on an oscilating fan a couple times a day for 20min

These photos were taken shortly after a misting, so there appears some little sparkling in the photos. The last photo has the male n females labelled.

I will be going 12/12 in a couple days, have to finish wall in room to partition these from my clones.
