So im starting this a little late but its better than never. Im running right now 4 plants starting the mothers this is my second grow but basically my first due to not being able to finish the first(had to move in a jam). So this is a 10 site drip system in my closet where i will eventually grow the clones and keep the mothers. Ive got 4 plants going right now 2 of which i have no idea what strain they came from the others are purple kush and train wreck. im using a RO water in a10 gallon res with 2 12" airstones, nutes are; Sensi Grow, Cal-Mag, Sweet, Dark Energy. The lights are 2x 2foot T5 HO 16k lumens. Im doing medium feeding but do not really know the ppm (dont have a ppm meter yet). The PH stays around 5.5 to below 6.0 (im using the chemical shaker method no digital meter yet). the air stays around 75-80 F and humidity is around 65%. Enjoy and ill post more every week! Feel Free to comment and help me out! These are 3 weeks in from seed.

from what i read the red stems can be genetic, though at this point they have stopped and turned nice and green. I also hear that they can be cause by bad water/grow media but who knows i did a flush last week with clearex so I'm not sure exactly the reason for them.

Looking good man!
I'll be sure to keep an eye on this one - thanks for the heads-up.
Should be interesting to see how our plants progress. Seems like you're at about the same stage with those as I am.
Good Luck

so ive been having some trouble with humidity during the day so i have decided to finally get some air ducting and get one of the stanley utility blowers that was listed in https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/136319-stanley-squirrel-cage-blower.html they seem to be way cheap i got mine ordered from beach audio (just googled it ) cost me $50 and it will be here in about 4 days. On low settings it has over 2x the CFM as a 6" Vortex fan from my local hydro store so i will be using it to suck air out of both my Veg and Bloom Rooms. I will post some pics once i get it up and running. Until its up and running i also changed my light cycle to 24/0 rather than 18/6 so i could keep the door open to keep it cool in the room.

Wondering if you've topped any of your plants yet?
I'm not really clear on how often one should do that - you have any guidelines?

Im thinking about topping them either tonight or in a few days. my only guideline is to not kill the plants lol.

just checked my res and it was a bit slimy and gritty like some salt or other type of build up so im doing a flush with some fresh water and clearex 1/2 ounce per gallon running the system for 1 hour. Odd since Im not sue for a change for a few days but ohwell.

Time for another update. I got My Stanley fan, and some of my bloom room equipment. Im using a 4"11'x4"11'x6"7' grow tent that i got at Green Coast Hydro. and a similar type of setup as my veg room however i wont be using drip for my bloom room im going to do flood and drain (though im not completely certain yet) i also got my 600watt HPS rig today with a lumatek electronic ballast. i still need to get some chains, hooks, piping for proper mounting but i hooked it all up to make sure its all good to go. I got the light setup on ebay for way cheap its an all inclosed setup ready for air cooling. Cost me about $285 shipped. so far this grow has cost me roughly $2,500+ and im still not done. Im a true beleiver in doing things right and just spending the money rather than dealing with the hassle and time to build things myself. Lack of space also contibutes to lack of building things myself lol. Here are some pics from today.
