Ok guys, being as I have taken a lot of information from these boards to progress my knowledge of growing, I figured it only right to post what I have learned as I go.

This is my first grow, I don't have much space to commit to a grow room, so I hijacked my second bathroom and went to work. I started with seeds I had saved from previous batches of descent commercial. Didn't want my first time to be with anything I wouldn't mind killing. :P I decided to grow in the bathtub, being it was already white/reflective. Along with a vinyl white shower curtain, I think that is about the same a Mylar. I used Premiere Horticulture Pro-Mix BX for my soil, I happened to have a full bag of it lying around. Only one of my plants had the benefit of having a suitable amount of perlite added to it, being I figured the mix had enough in it to start with. I have yet to see any negative results from the three plants that I did not add more perlite to.

For lighting I started with 2 4 foot fixtures, each running 1 40w OTT LITE and 1 40w Phillips Plant & Aquarium Lite. The OTT LITE gives off more of a blue light while the Phillips light is more of a red light. (As seen in the pic)
Now that I have moved into the flowering stage, a buddy of mine loaned me a 400W MH setup to use until I could afford my own. I have been running them 22 on 2 off throughout the veg. phase.

For nutes, I have yet to decide on a flowering nute, but for veg growth I used very little Peters Professional All Purpose Plant Food. By very little I mean 1-2 tbsp total for all 4 plants through the veg. phase.

So far the babies look healthy, so I think I am on the right track. They are around 4 weeks old. I have been watering them every 5 days but now that I have the MH running it seems that I will have to water them more. More heat is accumulating in the tub. I do my best to keep the temp below 80F. But it seems to hover right around that point. Any further advice that could be offered is greatly appreciated. Right now I am having trouble deciding on what type of nute to use for flowering. Preferably something that can be purchased at Lowes or Home Depot.

P.S. If anyone could be so kind as to direct me to where I can edit my signature that would be wonderful. Thanks Baka
