what do you guys think so far??:weed:
 
Also, I see that you have one of those little watering things that water the pants automatically (pic before last)
I don't recommend using that, just water it when its dry

it was not an automatic watering system. it was more so it makes sure that the middle of the pot got enough water. but that plant i gave up on and just waiting for the WW

Yellowing that early just means it hit a hot spot in the soil, no worries. They all germed, so looking good so far. Only 80 something more days to go lol.

hey man i love your box design, i've got 2 Short Riders in soil now waiting for them to pop thru. i just got em sitting on my closet shelf with my cfl's hanging from the top shelf just trying to figure out a box design. i think i'm going to pretty much steal your design... hey, your pc fans? how are those wired???

hey thanks the box is pretty simple and works well for me. the pc fans are hard wired into a 12v ac-dc converter (old electronic charger). ill help you out the best i can.
 
went to the local hydro store today for the first time and man its awesome. they have everything i see on here lol, but i went ahead and bought my nuts today. i went with fox farms tiger bloom, big bloom and grow big. ran me $60.
