I love walking into my closet to find a little forest of green developing. We've gone from seed to sprout to seedling to actual plants now. I'm watering every other day, alternating plain water and 1 mL/L nutes. This is obviously too light because my heavy feeder as User so aptly named it is starting to droop and yellow with papery leaves. Nothing to worry about yet, you can see in the last pic that it is still okay. All other plants look great but I think Slowpoke is a runt. It's slow and ugly and just taking up space IMO. I thought the first leaves were yellow because they were under the seed shell so long but even the new growth looks the color of yellow Gatorade. I'll give it some more time, none of my plants are perfect
We're still progressing by trial and error but things look promising

Tetra, this little plant is the most confusing of the bunch. I agree that it looks like n def. but it looks like there's a little burn on some of the tips. How? I think I didn't flush the coco well enough after removing the dog murder victim and there were still nutes in there. I took some better pics for your perusal. Also, the heavy feeder has some Chernobyll type shit going on with a little leaf growing out the center of another.

Yeah, I haven't actually given any nutes to it directly yet. It might have been an initial burn and now a def, IDK. I'll follow your advice.

Plants lookin good M.J.. That leaf isn't out of the ordinary. The more the merrier, no matter where they come from.
Do you have a tds meter? You should get one if you don't already. What kind of a camera are you using, cuz I'd like to see some closeups. I keep wanting to expand the photo when I click your pics, but nothing.

Sorry, I keep using my camera phone. I live across the street from Best Buy, just need to stop in to get the right USB cable for my digital camera. I am going to be getting some more stuff from HTG Supply including another hood/lamp/ballast like the one I already have. I am going to use the closet strictly for flower and set up a mother/clone area on one side of the adjoining bedroom. I was planning to partition off the closet into separate areas but the idea behind that was to keep the operation concealed and I quickly realized that anyone who walks into that bedroom will know something's up anyway. I will also be getting a Hanna ph/tds combo tester from HTG. You had any experience with these? It's $189 so it better be good.

What THC said. I don't have a Hanna, but everyone else likes them too. If it's stealth that you are after, there is a series of excellent articles written by a BC grower for Maximum Yield mag. Part 4 (may/June) isn't online yet, but 1-3 are here for you.

User,
Wow, I thought I put a lot of thought into my setup. The guy that wrote that article knows his shit. It helped me to realize more than ever that stealth = $. It's still better to be safe than sorry. Remember I'm a broke student so I might have to wait until the end of the summer to scale things up and do it right. I have a supernice paying internship lined up this summer and hopefully I will be saving money on personal smoke by then because of my garden. Using the adjoining/surrounding room as a "lung" like the article writer describes is pretty much what I am doing now, letting the closet breathe from the bedroom. If I were to expand growing into the bedroom I would lose this capacity so the grow tent/box inside the bedroom is now necessary in my eyes. So I will wait. Thanks to both you and Tetra for the advice on that meter. I was really questioning whether it was worth the cost.

Damn THC!....$15 for a quart of PBP! I'd give you rep on that but I have to spread the love.
