My First Grow Journal!

Well hello there fellow RIU members. I am new to the community and still sort of new to growing. I've had two successful outdoor grows and am now trying my hand at growing indoors. I've decided to grow with a hydrophonics ebb n flow system, using hydroton as the medium.
I start in rockwool cubes and put them under cfls for the first week of sprouting or until there ready to be put in the netted pots. Then there put under the T5HO (Started and staying with 5 gallon buckets) using a drip feed to water all throughout veg.
I started with 2 Jack47's, 1 Sleestack x Skunk, 1 Northern Lights, all 4 on week 7 in veg right now, and 2 random bag seeds at 6 weeks veg now.
The Jack 47's appear to be more indica as there only 11" tall and very bushy. While the the other 4 appear to be more sativa dominant as there all around 17" and growing to quickly. I wanted to get them into bloom this past weekend but because of how lazy I am after I get home from work I have yet to set up the room.

Thanks man! It probably looks that way though because of the way there packed into that little 2' x 4' closet.
 
Lookin good! I have 6 sexy ladies hiding in my 2x3 closet, and the canopy blocks out 95% of the light.... just remember, they'll almost double (or more) in size when those lights switch!!
come check me out, I'm in between week 4 and 5 of flower and its getting crazy in there!
 
Havent been on here in a while but here's an update on how there doing! Got them under 1000w cooled hood light in a home made 5' x 5' x 7' box. Lined with Mylar on the inside and an I.R blocker around the outside just for added safety. Just started 12/12 last night.

Thanks man, had a busy weekend so I wasn't able to set up the flood and drain cycles completely. Definitely gonna be takin care of that after work today though. I need to set up a better intake as well. I have a 6" outtake but just a couple small fans blowing air in through a hole, and temps are around 85-90.
 
Damn males! Knew I shouldn't of trusted a random bag seed. Oh well looks like I'm down to 5 under the light now.

Here's an update on how there doing! I know there's some yellowing on the bottom, it was because I was only flooding the buckets once or twice a day by hand for a little over a week, and temps were in the low 90s. Got new timers set up and a better intake to the room though, and everything seems to be doing better.

tie it down! don't break it though ;)

also get some Big Up Powder, I am using it and it halted the stretch during flowering very well and not only that it's supposed to give me some serious swell :)
