So I grew up in cali [on mt tam] so i always grew outdoor. Now that I live in NYC i decided to go indoor. Check out the cab! I'm running a 250 mh agrosun vented out the top. There's also mouting for two 40w flouros, but they wouldn't fit when I installed the mh. there are eight little computer fans providing extra circ. with scotch bright on the outside for light shields. Its on wheels so I can move it around

the plants are 3 weeks old, sprouted from a smattering of bag seeds. Alot of it was hydro, so they'll be well suited for my little nature simulacra. Started em outdoor till it got too shetchy, them moved indoor under a sodium. They started legging out, so i sprung for the mh. They in organic compost and I feed em earth juice when they get dry, 18/6 light cycle.

I know your not supposed to grow in metal, but the three plants growing in coors cans are by far the healthiest, possibly cause the metals making the soil hotter? They also don't have drain holes, so I'm keepin it light on the water..

Later I want to get into ph levels & CO2. Also check out my custom self cooling sodium mount {i blurred my eyes, sorta wierd lookin}

I hope these pics upload...

noone seems to care, but then again I guess I wasn't really asking anything, ..it turns out the grow medium was MG...bummer, I've since transplanted to promix, with minor nute burn but they'll be aight. The tree in the coors cans were by far the most root bound?! Due to the changing conditions earlier in their lives, they all have the same deformation on the same parts of their first true leaves. some where in there they were under a mercury for like 2 days, till i became privy to mercury's uselessness. Speaking of which, I feel like this threads fairly useless. See ya later rev

hello you[s?]

a pleasant exlplosion of growth, some of my babys are on their 7th node! I swear this herb is the dragster of the plant kindom, once you get the settings right it'll take off!) )) ))) ))) )))))>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Check pics!

Added two 40w cool fluoros to the setup tonight. Temps been 80, humidity 50

The transplant was smooth. Was gonna sprinkle rooting hormone on the root ball, but realized the *#@* had fungucide in it, and i don't watn that killin my mychorrizal dudes. holdin off on the nutes for a week, to lettem adjust. gave a little Liquid Compost [know it?} for the fungus, microbes, etc.

looks like i've got a bit of sativa dom. as well as indica dom. in my smattering of bad seeds. There are four strong plants, and some runts which i havent the heart to throw out yet. How many can/should i grow in a 2x2x4? want to scrog kinda, but not sure of the sex yet. scrog>2 plants? will mixing the indica and sativa cause probs down the line, ie. different growth rates? I could always trim the indy/

In the over head pic you'll notice some yellowing of new growth...its in promix now, with no nutes, but was in MG...any ideas? was giving it weak ej before transplant, maybe too many nutes? starting to PH now but wasn't before.

Some of my runts have yellowed 1st leaves. [see pic] so i'm getting 2 kind of yellowing, old & new growth. This must mean something significant, but being a mere noob, i can only conjecture.

lemme know your thoughts if you're so inclined.

Looks like you could back off on the watering a slight bit. The leaves are sagging a little more than they should. Maybe poke a few more holes in the bottom of the pots for better drainage.

Otherwise... they look great!!
