I am going to post a separate thred to explane situation. To much of a pain in the ass to do this from a cell phone.
Ok now I am on a real keyboard.
I am ruuning this thred to get advice and to let others see my grow.
History: I have done Indoor grows way in the past before genetics were easily available I did have decent results with bag seed back then, but this is my first serious grow indoors.
Setup: The grow box is 4'x4'x7'h, I am currently using 1-600watt MH on a digital ballast and 1-175watt MH standard ballast. I have 2-90cfm inline exaust fans going into can carbon filters, 3-4" intake holes in the bottom w/ 4" dryer hose painted flat black on the inside to prevent light leaks from the cabinet. and a 12" occilating fan.
Plants: 10-White Widow and 5 Mystery seeds that came with the w/w. 3 of the 5 mystery seeds are sativa dominate and are in the back of the cabinet and are very hard to control. I have been doing LST since they were 4" tall untill last Friday, since then they have been free to go vertically. Current plant hight is 1 w/w runt 6" tall, 9- w/w 8" to 10" tall, 3 sativa 12" tall. My babies are in 2 gallon buckets but are going to be transplanted tomarrow and have one more week to recover and veg under 24/0 light for one more week, then it is flower time!
Soil and nutes: They are in Mirical Grow Moisture Control with 2 cups Vermaculite per bucket ( I Know I did not use the good stuff! (I could not afford it my First Grow). My water mix is 1 tbls. vinagar, 2 tbls hydrogen peroxide, 4 tbls fox farm big bloom to 1 gallon water. Why vinagar? my tap water is around 6.8 to 7.0 Ph, plus Mirical grow soil is pre-nuted between those 2 things I need to do that to keep the ph at a constant 6.5Ph in the soil. Started to have nute lock once already before I started to use Fox Farm.
Next step: Re-pot Tomarrow, Veg 1 more Week, start flower next Friday.
Forgot one thing!
Goal of this grow 1lb of cured buds. I dont know if that is high or maybe low only time will tell. plus one or 2 mothers for clones.
looks awsome so far. very healthy looking.
nice forest, Jerry. Looking great.

Thanks,
Just got back from a 5 gallon bucket hunt. Home depot wanted $5.00 each I refuse to pay close too $80.00 for buckets.
So I went to a construction site and went dumpster diving while doing that one of the workers came out and saw what I was doing and said you don't need to do that and took me inside to an area. Low and behold about 25 washed out buckets and he said hellp your self just leave me a few. So I grabed 18 of them for free.
So all I have to is sterilize them.
looks like a good day.
Free buckets??? Bonus Points!!!
I spent $1 ea for my 12 QT (3 gallon) buckets. Pretty chinzcy though, may not last more than one or two grows. I have plenty of 5 gallon buckets but with the number of plants that went fem this grow, I don't have room for anything but the 3 gallons.

I fogot to put thin in the last post.
He did ask me what I needed them for and I told him I paint them and put sand I'm them and place Christmas decorations in them. That's when he offered the ones inside. EARLY CHRISTMAS I Guess.
After reading a thred that I had running in indoor growing forum I decided to hold off on re-potting today,it is not as urgent as I thought.
New plan: Today is the start of week 7 so I took out the 600w MH and put in the 600w HPS, installed the timer and set to 12/12. TIME TO FLOWER!!!!!!!
Why the change? My plants are not suffering yet, so put them in flower now remove males in 2 weeks then re-pot, save cost on soil by not repotting males.
I rotated plants today so here are more pics.
