back at it, second time grow

[xmk]

Finished up my first grow a few months ago, took a few months off and now im back at it armed with the knowledge of my first grow. This first post will be a little long winded but itll have all the info you would ever want plus more so here we go...

Strains: Right now I've got 3 papaya seedlings going, seeds are
from nirvana seeds, in a few weeks another 3 white
widows will be joining in on the fun, and another
month or so out from that i plan on adding some type
of 100% sativa plant

Soil: For soil we are using foxfarm's Ocean forest potting soil,
the mix is 50% soil 50% perlite

lighting: For lighting i will be using all CFL's, as you can see
from the pics i am using rubbermaid grow boxes,
each box is 45 gallons and has a 5 socket light fixture
on each side. Im running 6 100w(26 actual watts)
general purpose CFL's along with 4 60w(15 actual
watts) cool blue CFL's for a total of 840w or 216 actual
watts. Right now all 3 are in one tub, once i start the
white widows i'll have two tubs going. For intake and
outake im using 2800rpm double computer fans. My
temps are dead on at between 78-80 degrees

Nutrients/ferts: For my ferts and nutes i will be using the
foxfarm line. Big Bloom, Grow big, tiger bloom
open sesame, beastie bloomz, cha ching and
bush doctor sludge hammer for flushing

Water: for water im using only distilled water

Odor Control: for odor control i use the ionic pro air purifier

The space all the magic happens in is my spare closet, pictured below, i keep my plants, ferts/nutes and pieces all in the closet of fun as ive come to call it. As of today the plants have been in soil for 3 days and all three have popped their little heads out of the soil. Thats about all the info i can think of for now, if anyone wants to know anything else just ask....Now on to the pictures

first pic is one side of the closet... calander, feeding schedual, nutes/ferts, water, smooking devices ect.. ect...

second pic is the other half of the closet, the grow boxes along with soil and perlite

third pic are the three plants along with my buddha of good fortune

fourth pic is a close up of one of the seedlings

one more thing i should mention, my last grow can be viewed here http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-log/...-grow-log.html i pulled 1.2-1.3 oz off each plant, this time around im hopping to improve things to around 2oz per plant.

wish me luck and feel free to comment along the way. enjoy :rastasmoke:

[xmk]

i havnt updated in a while, my plants are a little over 2 weeks old now and dont seem to be growing too much, as you can see from the pics. im hopping growth starts to pick up soon... if you compare them to my last grow they are waaaaay behind, i have no clue why this is, before i planted these papayas and started this log i attempted to plant two different rounds of blue mystics and all of them had the same problem but worse, they didnt grow at all for a month. The papayas are starting to grow a little faster over the last few days but not as much as i would like to see... im hopping by next week things will start to change.

the first two pics are the seedlings and last shot is how big my last grow was after two weeks

sorrt, forgot to reply to everyone. haha, i like to keep my shit organized otherwise i go crazy, its funny... i used to be a total slob before i started smoking. Im not sure how big the plants were last time i never took any measurements... ill try and get some measurements this time around. And finally i think ill be ok height wise with some sativas, i plan on doing a lot of LSTing with them plus the tubs are about 5 ft tall to begin with.... ill figuer out some way to make em fit
