I've been slacking on my picture taking and posting,.... Ohh well.

Here's some pics and an update;


Pic 1: Most recent picture of Persephone, The recent High temps had me a bit worried about her pot/soil getting to hot, so I dropped the pot into the soil. I went back out a couple day's later and there were roots sticking out the bottom, so she's been plugged outside permanently.

I spotted my first sign of mites,.... just a little stipeling (Sp?) on one leaf, so I flipped it over and sure enough there was an immature spider mite on the bottom of the leaf, squished that little bastard where it stood and combed over the plant for more, I found some eggs, (Squished them too), but no other mites,... so a light neem oil bath for her and a shower before going back into my indoor room for me.


Pic 2: The Clones,.... I have no intention of keeping these, just took them to get some more experience with doing it,.... One of them didn't make it but I expected that since it was a branch on the clone anyway and was WAY too small to really even try.


Pic 3: Gia. I ditched the screen because it was just to big of spaces between the grid to keep her tied down,.... specially under the new HID

So just back to basic LST for the next 2 weeks then I'll do a SCROG in flowering.


Pic 4: This will be my dedicated VEG area for a while,.... Ignore the red, I was just burning in the HPS bulb for a couple minuets. It will be getting lit with the El'Cheapo 400w (Switchable) light that I picked up running a 6500k MH. After getting that thing light up to see how much heat it'll make I just couldn't take it away from the girls,.... So I picked up another hood for flowering.

Not shown in that picture is what I did with the clones, they are actually under the table the Vegging plants are on, the T5's are right on top of them and it's all sealed up at night to block out the 24-0 light in there.



Pic 5: My ambitions far outstretch my budget and time is not really on my side so I'm cutting my 4.5x6.5 room up and will use an area 4.5'x 33" as flowering. The second hood I picked up is a SunSystems unit,.... not quite as cheap as the first one, but it'll run the HPS bulb that came with the first one, and should provide plenty of light for that space..... This area of the room is still under construction,.... as if you couldn't tell.
