thanks bigsmoke. you inspired me! we are just gonna run a 600w digital ballast HPS right now. but it should be nice. a couple of DWC or or e & f. a couple of different reservoirs (for different strains). either SOG or perpetual SOG. still formulating the master plan. about a month or so.

joyrider, only miracle grow right now. i think i need to re-pot (probably tomorrow) and will get some flower nutes and some super thrive maybe. i still can't decide if i want to LST them. don't i need to start at least 10 days before flower? if i don't LST then i'll probably put them in flower tomorrow of the next day. i'll be going out of town for at least 30 days on tuesday, so my brother will be finishing up. i've got to give him a crash course!

Good idea on the 600w. Thats what i got and i love it even with a used bulb over a year old its still making my plants get thick! You're plants look like they could use more veg time before flowering, i just put 2 clones under my 600w running 12/12 and their just a hair bigger than yours, except their in hydro! I really wanted to wait until they were bigger but I don't even have a clue how big they'll get with the drip/dwc system. Besides, the bubble cloner was only 3 or 4 inches deep and the roots were binding up, had to put them somewhere So flowering was my only option hehe

You'll need a good fan to exhaust you're grow room/tent when you go big with the 600w. check out my pics of the hydro setup, their poor quality but it'll give you an idea what i'm up to. peace

Greetings 'Shake! Found your thread and read the whole thing tonite. I can't believe you did all that in a cardboard box. Hope your brother doesn't kill your babies. Hide the fertilizer. edit: IMO I'd veg them till you get back and give him bottled water.

(Hijack In Progress) I am a big Bob Ross fan, never occurred to me he was a stoner. Is that a real photo? Did you know Bob? Man I would LOVE to have that picture. Please answer.

good luck

i'm sure you will. i'm interested to see the actual difference you get!

ok. so here is an update. i watered w/nutes yesterday. the plants are already pretty dry so i guess it's time to transplant. i am going to an 8" pot. i'm sure stinky (if she even reads this) will get mad at me, so i'm sorry. i also got some perlite. while out i also picked up some superthrive and some super bloom (no relation i don't think). i'll have pics and details in a bit. thanks to all those who follow along.

yea dude so far my biggest prob is keeping the temps below 90 i got my window open all day and the lowest its gotten was right now which its like at 87 but the plants are looking like they love the light

[headshake]

i bet they do. just be careful. i've read that at ~88 photosynthesis shuts off. what kind of reflector do you have running?
