what's good everyone? i've been slacking in my duties of keeping my grow logs going. as some of you know, i have constructed a new "frank", although that's not the new ones name. a name actually hasn't been given yet.

anyhow, here is what's going down at the moment. there are six various dank seeds that have taken up residence in the new box. they are all ~21 (give or take, not including the pot). the reside in 3 gallon pots.

they stretched for some reason during veg. i guess i thought they were closer than the lights than they were. or maybe they were indica dom. hybrids. that's kinda what they look like.

about the new flower box, i took a box that is 47" x 24" x 21". i put an adjustable light fixture (homemade of course, out of cardboard!) in there. i added four 120mm pc fans up top and cut three exhausts down below.

the actual flower area below the light fixture stays between 78-80F degrees.
the area above it hovers between 88-91F. i was thinking of adding a few little intakes up near the top.

there is a total of 16 23W, 1600 lumens (~, they may vary sligthly) CFLs in there. i didn't count the ratio, but it should be close to 75/25 (2700K/6500K). i have some extra 2700K bulbs if the ratio is off.

i've been using the fox farm nute line up, both liquids and solubles. today when they got fed i gave them the first dose of beastie bloomz. this is the first time that i've used it and i'm curious to see what happens. i've been impressed with the fox farm nutes so far. i guess anything is a huge step up from miracle grow though.

there appears to be some light leaks as several of the ladies keep trying to grow balls. i know up top where the exhaust light gets in (although i do cover this up after lights out). the other area i think it's getting in is around the door. i used duct tape on the last "frank". i wanted to try something else. there is also the intakes down near the floor. i lean books up against those.

any ideas on light proofing?

i've got a several pics so some will be following this post.

i think that's about it for now.
