So I'm starting another journal.. Had a bit of success with my last grow and decided to up the ante and fix my setup... Here's what I've got now:
400w hps/ mh with an air cooled hood
6" inline fan to cool the hood
vornado for in tent circulation
air conditioner to keep the temps down ( for me and the gals)
picked up a few bricks of coco and some root pots
maxibloom + some Epsom salts straight through veg/flower
a few cfls from my last grows for side lighting.
2"x4"x6" shelving unit and panda film to wrap it in.
2ft 2bulb t5 for clones

haven't got the hid lighting up, just starting seedlings under cfls ( a mix of 2x 26w cool white and 1x 47w warm white)

Not too big of a change from day 2 but here's day 5. I took down the cfls and threw up the MH, I may add in the cfls again later for side lighting but we will see... I've got some lettuce going next to them for the moment.. It's due for a new pot though.

Here they are at day 16. I transplanted to .5 gal pots and coco also started about 1/4-1/8tsp of maxibloom per 2qt water when I repotted them. I've topped one and fimmed the other two as well.

2 of my plants are doing well, I'll be giving them more nutes next feeding as they look to be wanting some N. the third looks like it needs some Mg so I picked up some Epsom salts for the next feeding as well... Coir seems to be doing good though, some of the roots are popping up under the plastic film on top.

This thread is also open to any questions/ suggestions, I have one for anyone who may know: how often do you coco growers water? Do you let the coir fully dry or do you water when it's slightly moist but not soaked.

Well after over feeding slightly I dialed in their needs for now, started on some LST, the plant I topped had 6 growth tips and the fimmed ones had 4, found it odd.

They've been doing well after LST, I'll be training the new leading tips as well when they get a little bigger.

Well here we are at week 8, I'll probably be switching these ladies over to flower within the next week or so...

Yeah I'm pretty much mainlining just not as strict, i could keep a more even canopy and more even colas but I'm a bit lazy here's some shots of the stems...

Don't mind the dead leaves... I need to clean up a bit

Not too big of a change from last time, mainly more crystals and the buds are fattening up a bit. Here's a few shots:
