Hi invision, thanks for the glass cutter tip! I haven't located the shelves yet, but seem to recall they were close to what would fit in my existing cabinet. There were about 1/8" thick, if I recall correctly. Think that will be thin enough? They originally were meant to be used as shelves in another cabinet (furniture, not a grow cabinet).

I'm pleased with how far I've come. All of the plants could have turned out male, or I could have killed them off completely by now. Given that this was bag seed, there was little to know ahead of time, such as typical height.

Next time, I will definitely research scrog or lst for the next grow, even with the changes to the cabinet. From what I've seen, this should help the biggest problem I seemed to have this time around - plants way too close to the lamp. Plus, as an added benefit, the crops from either method seem to be increased.

I do tend to be hard on myself, but in a productive way. It helps motivate me to get better. It looks like I should see at least an ounce, maybe two (not fried) from this crop. If that is the case, and there's at least a halfway decent buzz from the finished product, I will be very grateful. I'm amazed I've gotten this far.

I've learned a lot this time and I hope to get the next one started soon. I figure I'll start my next seedlings during week eight of these plants flowering schedule. Estimating about two weeks before they will need to get into the cabinet, that should give me enough time to dry out this crop.

Now, the question I face .... do I try with the purchased seeds, or stick with the bag seed for the next grow. I'm tempted to try the new seeds, since I've not knowingly tried any of the breeds I have acquired. I picked up some Blueberry, White Widow, and Northern Lights #5.

I spent the last month just reading up on the postings here, as well as some magazines I picked up at a local hydro store. This board was the most helpful, and I hope to repay that help with a grow report which I hope helps at least one other person out. During this time, I'm sure I will ask for assistance from some of you out there, and I hope that I am Rating: 5
