Mrs. Greenjeans' first ever grow

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Picking up the 400W hps from my buddy today. I'll keep track of how that works out. I expect it to drastically raise temps in the closet, so I may have to come up with a new ventilation plan. For the lights etc. that are currently in there, the ventilation is fantastic, but I can see it becoming not so fantastic very quickly with the hps in there. I think I have a plan though. (insert maniacal evil scientist laughter here). Where I live is colder'n a witches tit in a brass bra. My plan is just to run flexible duct tubing (like for the dryer) in from my bedroom window and into the closet. This will give me passive intake. Cold ass passive intake at that. The closet has two outside walls, and when the temp drops outside, the closet gets rather chilly. I've been known to keep beer in there. So I think it'll all work out.

What else...Oh yeah! Since I've repotted and gone to 20/4, I've seen explosive growth in no time. I'm going to have to raise the lights, and I just raised them 2 days ago. I'm also seeing more side branching. As soon as I get the hps hung, I'm going to LST. Wish me luck. Pics later.

Mrs. Greenjeans Reviewed by Mrs. Greenjeans on 02-04-2007. Mrs. Greenjeans' first ever grow Okay, I am going to try keeping a growlog. Mind you, I was never one of those girls who kept a diary or a journal...so I don't know how diligent I'll be about this. I currently keep track of my growroom activities on a mousepad with tear off calendar sheets. To give anyone reading an idea of where I'm coming from/going to: I'm not much of a smoker, I get really paranoid and can't relax. My fiance smokes a hella lot, and we're buying a house, so we've started looking for ways to economize. Rating: 5

Awww thanks Shov! Tell the truth, it's the bras isn't it? LOL!
Thanks for reading. I appreciate knowing that someone is reading and I'm not just hollering down a well.

I got my light today!!! Much less ghetto in the closet. But now I have to scramble and hurry to do my exhaust. It's about 15 inches above the plants, and the ballast is outside the room.

sings: it's getting hot in here, so cool off all your clones
(i am gettin' so hot, i wanna cool my clones off)

Okay, I'll prolly get sued for that one. :S2:

On to the pics!

Hi AD! Thanks for stopping by!
Unfortunately, I can't get any pics of that. They didn't actually come from clones, I was just being goofy for the sake of the song. They come from bagseed of some smoke that my honey really enjoyed, and he smoked dat shit up! LOL!

I'll have to take some more pics today. They are loving it in there now.

Hola! Yeah, they were freaking out last night because I turned off the CFLs and the fans to maneuver the new light into place (that damn thing was bulky and HEAVY!) so they were without light and ventilation for like 30 minutes, and they got bumped around a little and upset. They're standing tall and pretty today. I'll get some more pics up later.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Okay, well even with the new light, it's still only 80F in the closet, so that's a good thing. I found a different place to put my air intake (one that's not obvious to outsiders, and I'm going to vent into the roof by going through the spot where the current overhead light is. I'll make a DIY carbon scrubber for that, and the DIY neutralizer as well, just to cover all bases.

Everybody is loving the new light. Their little green arms are outstretched, little green faces turned up to the sun. Happy little trees.:rasta: The nicest part is, my buddy is letting me borrow this light indefinitely. As "rent" payment, I have to give him clones. He doesn't want to sell it, in case he decides to start growing again. But I can keep it as long as I need it. So cool...that's one less expense. It's good to have friends.


Well, now that I've got some of the hard work done, I feel like I can browse around and check out the other girls' logs. I've been so busy I haven't really had a chance.

That's all for now.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Oh yeah, gonna LST tonight. That's when I'll post pics.
