Hello from the East Coast!

Hi everyone,

I'm J, or CompleteNoob if you prefer. I'm living on the east coast and attempting my first grow. Things seem to be going very well so far. I browsed these forums and so many others for months before I tried my hand at it.

I own a single family home near the water, and I'm back in the woods so privacy is good. I'm growing in my basement using a home made frame I built, three 5 gallon buckets, and two sets of GrowBright 2 foot lamps using high output T5 vegetative bulbs.
I also have 4 bloom lights but I haven't switched over yet. The lights produce 4000 lumens per set, and I have the sides covered in mylar. Currently, my lights are hanging about 6 inches above my plants. I'm also using a mix of some bat guano and miracle-gro for food. I have everything hooked up to a timer that clicks my lights on at 7am and off at 1am, so they're getting a solid 18 hours of light.

Now onto the interesting stuff...I'm growing 2 critical mass and 1 amnesia haze (using feminine seeds). Originally this was attempted as an outdoor grow before bringing everything inside where I have more control. My amnesia haze is growing strong now, but it was touch and go for a little while. I'd say she's at least a month or so behind the 2 critical mass plants.

Anyway, I look forward to participating in the forums, learning, and sharing my pics with all of you. Feedback and questions are welcomed of course.

Thanks,
CompleteNoob (J)

ps- the pic is of my two critical mass ladies. The amnesia haze is behind them, but you can barely see her.
