**Update**
Alright, so after keeping my babies alive outside under the never-enough sun, I finally got my lights yesterday!
Unfortunately, I wasn't too impressed with InsideSun.com - They failed to provide a tracking number so I e-mailed them the day before yesterday. I got a reply of "I'm sorry, but the tracking number is on the warehouse computer, please call back tomorrow and I'll give it to you. -Mike"
So I called him back yesterday and gave him the order number in which he said he would call me back with the #. 3 hours later.. still no call, however the lights came shortly after :thumbsup:
He must have seen they were shipping today and figured I wasn't worth the time or effort. *shrug*
Anyway, on to my pics!
-I've already noticed exponential growth, literally in front of my eyes. (yes, I've been watching them ever since I started my cycle last night, I can't get enough!)
-I had a single desk fan in there but the temperature shot up to 91 so I not only put an oscilating fan in there, but I also put in my portable swamp cooling A/C to add moisture into the air and cool things down. The current temperature is 86.3.
On to the pics! :stoned:

Hey Kids!
Woke the girlies up today but took a few minutes to take some *decent* pics before turning on camera-blinding lights!
Here are some more pics of my grow space..
The plants are thriving, they really love the HPS.
-Current temp: 74 degrees.
-Watered yesterday, letting the soil dry out a bit today.
-Haven't decided if I want to risk the transplant on the clay pots to the larger, grey pots. It may not be worth the risk.
Peace! :D
Something I just noticed:
The plants in the smaller pots to the right are red stemmed while the ones on the left in the bigger pots are green stemmed.
The red stemmed plants look healthy though, here's some more info.
-The red stemmed plants are in smaller pots than the green.
-The red stemmed plants don't have as much pearlite in their soil (I'm worried they might not have enough, I can't wait to transplant but I'm waiting for them to get older unless anyone has any suggestions)
-The red stemmed plants were bag seed from one bag so they're all the same strain, though I can't identify it.
Help me out! :thumbsup: :rasta:
Here's a few pictures of them before their light cycle.. wake up! :dance:
Any ideas on those stems?
Haha, I also realized the ones on the right, in the smaller clay pots are also not flourishing as much as the ones on the left even though they were planted 2 days before them.
The more you know! * a rainbow appears over my head *
The look good Reefer... :) Keep it up... this thread will be very interesting.
You should really get a fan blowing on them to strengthen those stems up - last thing you want is them snapping when they go into flowering.
Thanks Turtle - something tells me this will be interesting too as it looks like I have 3 seperate strains of bag seed. One of the grey pots is lime green, one is forest green and the 3 in the smaller pots are in between. I'm excited.
Mike - The red stemmed in the clay pots aren't moving whatsoever, I think it might have to do with me putting them outside for the first 6 days of their sprouting life and being a bit more sturdier.
There was one however that was blowing like crazy, that's the one I put support by. Everything is looking pretty happy, I can tell I'm going to need to support the forest green in the grey pot though. (the one without the therm)
:dance:
Alright, a few questions!
A - I was reading about a cycle from the Marijuana Grower's Handbook and it recommends doing 24/24 the first week, and then gradually cutting an hour out until you get to 12/12 - this sounds awfully tempting.. should I even think about introducing this "lifestyle" to my plants?
(This is the 3rd day of their 18/6 cycle and they are 12 days old)
B - I read that the red stems may be a cause of Nitrogen and/or Potassium deficiency. I also heard some plants just have red stems and are completely healthy. Should I leave them be and just watch the leaves for any changes?
Thanks for the help!
