Didn't want to continue the old log because it failed in many ways. So more research, time, and money has been put in, and now a log will be completed and I hope everyone will enjoy.

Everyone has a :greenthumb: just gotta learn how to use it.:jointsmile:

Lighting:
2-400w HPS lights
Cooling:
2-Air cooled hoods
1- 6in booster fan
1- 6in inline duct fan
1- 6in carbon filter
1- 2 1/2 inch intake "S" shaped PVC pipe
1- "T" shaped pipe in the middle of both hoods
Nutrients
Grotek
Solo-tek grow,bloom
Cal-mag
Great shark
Carbo-load
Water:
Distilled water 6.0 PH
Given at 7.5-8.0
Soil/Soiless/Hydro:
Soiless- Promix with 30-50% pearlite
Always a low PH, which is why the ladies get watered with a High PH
Schedule:
No Schedule, always feed with nutes and flushed when the ladies tell me they need it.;)
Temps
Usually stay at 77-79 when lights are on and 65-70 when lights are off
The temps are controlled with a fan speed controller, but right now the outside temps have been going up and down so it is kept at full power for now.

There is complete darkness, because of the poly being placed around the closet using double-sided carpet tape, and duct tape on the oustide to make sure.

Any questions please feel free to ask, I tried to post everything, but I might of missed something.
:jointsmile:
On to the pics of the setup-

Pic #2

Enjoy:hippy:

When I say genetics I mean seeds from reputable seedbanks.

I do have that sativa bagseed that has given me he'll before, buy this time everything has been going smoothly and I hope to keep this strain around.

Thanks for stopping by bigtopsfinn, glad to have you along for the ride.

Haha don't know how I didn't answer that one right:stoned:

In the flower room I have only one sleestack x skunk (out of 3) aswell as the sativa bagseed.

I do have 3 skunks that are from seedsman seeds skunk mix that are in there pre-flowering stages.
Package said it can vary from superskunk to skunk haze.

I do have a few more interesting ladies that are feminized and have specific names but because they aren't old enough for bud porn they will have there own time to shine:jointsmile:

The ladies are getting there photoshoot tonight, last night my camera died right when I was about to take a pic of the biggest girl.

So for those that are waiting on pics, sorry for the wait but tonight they will get posted.

Don't know if anyone looked over my post but I'm still wondering when I should give them molasses? This book shows the difference of two different buds and the one with molasses is 10-20% bigger.

Think you could rotate the pictures before uploading them? It would help bunches. Oh and I've seen much worse stretching than in your picture #4.

Hmm I didn't think of that before posting them, your are right tho it definitely would be easier to see.

O well next time, and if you have seen worse then I guess I cant be that mad. I just hope that it does not decrease my yield because of the nodes being so far apart.

Thanks for stopping by

I was reading the sleestack was supposed to be the more sativa one of the bunch, but that looks a lot like how my kushberry x skunk clone has been, almost full cola so it works out.

Looking good man, now's the long part ;)

Thanks,
And your not kidding about nows the long part, :stoned: everyday I notice an increase in size. Even though I see it more on the "haze", I hope sleestack starts to bulk up soon

Today is 4weeks into flowering and "haze" is an old lady, 3months old on the 25th of of March

Added a 105w CFL 2700k bulb right on top of one if the ladies to help out with bud growth.

She is so tall that I had to put her top next to the light, so now she is only getting HPS light on her sides and a 105w cfl directly on top of her.

Big girl got burnt because of her hitting the glass last night and for some reason the temps jumped up to 91 degrees (hottest it has ever been) so i removed a box i had under her and will post a pic of the damage at lights on.
