And now for the plants. They aren't looking too good Picture 1 is plant one, picture 2 is plant 2 and picture 3 is plant 3:
#1: 7 days from popping up from soil
#2&3: 5 days from popping up from soil
What's wrong?

Nice I like it. You did a good job on the ventilation system. I like the circulation fan too!
My only suggestion is make the light moveable so that you can lower it closer to the light. If you do this MOVE YOUR PLANTS OUT OF YOUR BOX BEFORE ADJUSTING THE LIGHT!!!!! I have read far too many threads on people dropping lights on their plants while adjusting them.
Good luck on your grow!

Yeah i'm gonna keep the light stationary and move the plants. less chance for breaking something. When the seedlings get stable then i will boost them up next to the light.
Thanks for the comment!

Yeah the seedlings aren't doing to well. I made the mistake of putting a little bit of ferts on them and they are suffering. I've flushed them twice so hopefully they comeback, maybe i will get some superthrive.

that sneaky setup does look good. how much were all the materials for the Scrubber. I need to make one soon as well. My little cab is wreaking up my apartment and Im only in the Veg stage. I was thinking of geting some G13 seeds As I have herd that Bud is smellLess? Well thats atleast what the Website said But I somhow doubt it. everything smells.
Did you use Carbon fiber for the inside Or kitty Litter? I have been looking for Carbon fiber But I cant find any too easy. I'm pretty sure you can use kitty liter aswell but not 100% about that,
Anyways looks slick.
Heres Mine with the same Light. T5 2fter

The scrubber materials including ducting where about $45-50 The carbon i got for super cheap because it was on clearance at my work. It was a 36oz. pack of activated carbon and i probably only used about 1/3 to 1/4 of the whole pack. I saw 28oz. packs of activated carbon at petco for 9.99 I'm not sure how well it works because i don't have it hooked up and my plants don't even smell yet.

I was thinking about kitty litter, but i wouldn't want my grow area to smell like kitty litter. You can use it though, but only the silica gel type i think. On another site i saw that after an hour or so the litter swells up because it takes in moisture though so it really clogs your airflow.

Your plants are looking good with every update :D. Btw is that a water drop in the middle of the second plant? That looks cool.
thats really nice. i wish i could do something like that, but i keep running out of money, so im holding off until the holidays

Well have a slight problem, i think it might be nutrient burn have a look:
I think im gonna change the nutrient solution tommorow and dilute it ALOT more...

Yikes, get right on that, please. Those look terrible right now. I'd say you could even go without any nutes for a few feedings/days then start again with a much weaker solution like you said.
Good luck with that!

ok flushed the whole reservior and put some frsh water back in, will give an update in a couple days...

Ok bad news looks like the plants have a deficiency...
hoodrider

Ok looks like the plants are wanting some nutrients now so i added a light strength solution and adujusted the pH down to 5.0-5.5 or so. I'll post some more pictures in a few days...
BTW the plants are really starting to suck the water down, i have to top it off once a week, but it's definately getting lower each time i do it. I should be 12/12 soon and i will be putting in the scrog screen soon too!
#1 and #3 are on day 53 and #2 is on day 52
