This is actually my first post on here... name's Mr. "P". Just wanted to say thanks to all who post on here, and thank god for the search feature. Here's some pics of my first attempt at growing started with 5 seedlings but ready to flower three. I killed two in what will be remembered in my household as "The great nutrient slaughter of '08" Oh well I guess I learned a lesson the hard way. But, if not for this site I would have been clueless on what to do,and thankfully there's others out there who've been as over zealous as I have.

My setup is a homemade 250 HPS set up. Bought the ballast, bulb, and sheet metal at a local electrical supply outlet, and wired it up in a closet in my house that had a piece of the main ventalation running through it. Tapped into it for air supply, and installed a 350 cfm exhaust fan into the top of the door just venting into the house (like the smell). The walls are all lined in 3 mylar emergency blankets and that's pretty much it... here's my babies (some are still showing residual effects from the nutrient burn they got about 3 weeks ago, but doing MUCH better)

They look really good, the only thing that worries me is they share the same pot. With you going to flower those little girls are gonna grow like..well weeds. They are going to fight for nutes in that pot. You might run into some serious problem later into flowering when they are soaking up everything cause they got monster bud on em.

Yeah they look good though. How long you been veggin?

They're about 11 weeks in Veg... I let them go a couple weeks longer than the projected 8-9 weeks before cutting back the lights because I almost killed them. I mixed in way too much nitrogen into the original soil. Re-potted them temporarily in just some regular potting soil to get them healthy again. As for putting them in bigger pots I intend to, within the next few days actually round pots about 10in in diameter and DEEP. Just been lazy got some bubble gum from a friend last night. :rasta:
