Hey Dusto2k3, whats up!? Sounds like you had a nice harvest there, I would be happy with that! Are you going to do a log on the current grow?

As you can see my plans changed a bit along the way. Multiple big 125w CFLs are hot, I don't care what anyone says and I just couldnt get good ventilation in the closet. So I got the hydro mini and patterned it after yours to a large part and went right to a 400w HID. After battling the temps from the CFLs I was a little gunshy but the cooltube works fantastic and now I think I shoulda got a 600w or maybe a 1000w...the cooltube and 6" vortex easily handle that end of it. It's an HPS ballast and Ive got a Metal Halide conversion bulb in it for vegging.

Here's a shot of the setup: http://boards.cannabis.com/showthrea...t=88985&page=2

So I got off to several missteps and killed a bunch of seedlings by over watering till this last group survived my brutality. I've got 9 plants from seed at about 2 1/2 weeks on their 4th nodes. One Cinderella 99, one TroubleMaker (Hindu Kush/Master Kush I think, something like that.) and the rest bagseed, some killer, some schwag. Im supposed to get some Mango clones shortly from one of our generous members here and I'll veg them all till I can sex them and cull out the weaklings. Obviously the Mango are females and the C-99 was a feminized seed so if I didn't stress it too badly it should be a female as well.

I'll start a log next weekend...my seedlings were too pathetic and embarrassing but theyve pulled through and are doing well, now that Im not drowning them!

Thanks for all the advice & encouragement!!
