LAST DAY OF SCHOOL FOR THE QUARTER. Since my last post I've done some stuff. I've added my new nutrients. Also started adding Sweet to the mix. I cleaned out my res and it was f'ing filthy. I had no idea. All the dust from the clay rocks made the bottom res very dirty and was starting to clog up the pump. I'm glad I changed it when I did. I don't think that problem will be a reoccurring one because I think the dust has been washed off. It was probable some what responsible for my pH drifting up to around 7.4. When i put the new water in the system yesterday the pH was at a cool 6.3. After two days the plants look even greener than before and the curling that occurred on some of the leaves has stopped. Also a couple of the plants were starting to get some yellow spots on the oldest leaves. This also seems to have been reversed.

I also added my other 95watt light and a 42watt cfl that shines pinkish to the setup. Other than that things have been looking pretty good. I've starting to keep track of the temp in my closet and it ranges from around 70 when the door is open and I have a window open in my room to as high as 88 when the door is closed and no window is open. I've been trying out a couple of ways to limit the light of the closet from being visible outside my room when I have the closet door open. Hopefully I'll find something that works and can start leaving my door open all the time.

These pictures were taken 2 days ago when I changed my res, so some of the leaves still look curled. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get some new ones up. I'm going to be leaving for about 5 or 6 days for Spring Break to do some hiking, climbing and if weather permitting some snowboarding. I'm gonna hope for the best. I really need to rig up a way for me to keep the door open the whole time I'm gone without having any light escape my room. It sucks cuz the door of my bedroom does not go all the way down to the floor and light leeks out the bottom into the hallway. Has the potential to be a major issue when people come over to the house and need to go upstairs to the bathroom. ALRIGHT picture time.............

P.S. The nuits I added made the water redish so I guess I can't put pics of the roots up anymore. sorry

I also don't have much time. I'm moving out by July. But I think I'll be alright. This is my official first grow. I'll be using an ebb and flow system that I bought off ebay for 75 big ones. It came equipped with grow media, pots, water pump, nutrients, 2 reservoirs, and a whole lota love. The system can grow 9 small plants. For lighting I have a 95watt 6100K cfl and a 30watt wide spectrum cfl. When I get Rating: 5
