Hey friends -

Today, I purchased a 4-bulb T5HO that I am SUPER excited to install in place of the CFL fixtures with Y-splitters on the right side of the cabinet. This will save me 4.5" on that side. Doesn't seem like much, but growing in an enclosed cabinet with limited space, this is a HUGE upgrade for me in light output and SPACE! I will also drive out to the computer super store and buy a few more $5 computer fans. I have some plans for even better air circulation. I'll post some pictures on Saturday when I don't have work and I can install the T5 and fans - again, I'm SO excited.

Today is exactly one month into flowering, 12/30/13 - 1/30/14! I have been watering daily since they were able to take it early on. Yesterday, they took about HALF the water they had been taking up until then. Today, same thing - maybe even less water than yesterday. I stay close to them while watering by hand in soil and I water slowly, so I watch closely for runoff to start. Is this a usual occurrence during flowering that others experience? Or maybe I should just give them an extra day without watering to dry out?

I am also going to start my next batch of seeds which will be my 2nd grow! New grow log in the near future
