I've got another 175w MH needing a ballast so I'm trolling the internets now to try and find a kit, in the meantime here are a couple of pics.

I'm gonna start a real grow log soon (as soon as the forums seem stable again) and will keep pretty good track.

I'm planning on using the fox farms fertilizer set as there is a local retailer here, and here isn't really a very big place, so having that convenience makes using that stuff handy.

I'm almost more interested in photographing this process, at least it'll give me something to do with em while I wait...I have a buddy dropping off a set of lens extensions which will let me do more macro stuff early on.
