Colorado MMJ patient first time grow spring'13

So the heat problem is now fixed and I lowered the light to 16" from the tallest plant. The conversion bulb is due to arrive Wednesday. The temp/hum spike at 77/71% was because I forgot to turn on the bathroom exhaust fan during the shower this morning oops. The norms are back to 73-75 temp and 42%-46% hum.

From the looks of the new growth(light green almost yellow) I think it's time to start the nutes. The reason the SS male is still alive is for this purpose he is now the guinea pig. The two MS will get .5 to .75 strength nutes while the SS will get full. I will keep a sharp eye on him and kill it before any pollen drops from the balls(there are still only 2). Any ideas on how long that takes???Attachment 292554

If you have a separate switch for the fan you can add a humidistat that will automatically run the fan and keep the Rh at a set level. We have that.

Sweet, appear golden. Enjoy the journey!

Thanks for the tip I will incorporate one after I purchase the rest of the nutes I would like to add to my regiment. For now I was lucky my bathroom has a 3-way for the light and the exhaust fan switch was in the two gang with the switch leg for the 3-way, so a junction with a pig tail problem solved. Also I noticed since I switched over to 12/12 the humidity level spikes in the 70% range during the dark period to fix this I put my tent exhaust fan(it cools the light too) on a separate timer from the light and run it the 12 hour on cycle then 15 minutes per hour during the dark.

The feeding on the morning of the 24th(for the lil one) and the new 1.5 gals of soil(for the MVP) has greened up the new growth slowly but nicely. The guinea pig(male) took the full strength nutes well, it greened up a little darker than the lil MS so he served his purpose(c-ya).

The conversion bulb arrived a day early so it went in yesterday after about 2hrs of on cycle(subbed with CFL's for the 2 mins it took to change bulbs).

Here's the room now I put a chair in to keep the lil one's canopy even with the MVP's.

Sweet, how far into flower?

I started 12/12 on 6/21/2013 the first full 12/12 cycle was 6/22 so 4.5 days.

I've been checking for signs of the sex of my lil MS plant and it's a boy...
