Bad news. Stella and the unborn have both perished. Gina isn't looking too good either. I guess I got impatient. No worries, I still have another 25 seeds if I don't get any girls. But I am confident that I will get at least one girl.

Transplanted too soon would be my guess.

Violet and Emerald are doing quite well though, just starting to show their third set of leaves.

On a side note... I found a 1000W HPS with an air-cooled hood on craigslist for $200. Why can't it be a 600? No way that tent (or the breaker) could handle that behemoth.

And it looks like I'll be getting my light from HTG as well. Local hydro shop wants $300 for a 600w digital ballast and another $125 for a cool tube. I can get a 600w digital ballast and cooltube for under $300 with shipping from HTG.

I'm sorry for your loss.... I'm smoking a bowl in their honor right now!

Sound like a good deal on the light!! I paid $230 for my 600w ballast and $120 for the bulb, then $35 for the socket and shield.

I'm looking at this as an investment this time around. I say screw it and drop good money on a 500w digital ballast with a cooltube instead of getting a 400W and wishing I hadn't. I've read lots of journals and 600's seem to be the way to go.

I can get a Digital Greenhouse 600w Digital Ballast with cooltube, 6" fan, and booster for $319.20 with shipping from HTG. To buy locally I'd spend $430 + tax at 8.125%. That's just a shade under $465.00. I'm all about local business, but that guy can go fuck himself.

And then there were two...:cry:

But two strong ones at that. Pics after a while, gotta go grocery shopping. I've been eating nothing but crap for the past two weeks. So of course I've been feeling crappy. Ugh.

Thanks for stopping by!

I really want a digital ballast and the 600 is only 25 bucks more than the 400. I'd be stupid to get the 400. Just have to make another $250 to get that bitch ordered with the 6" inline fan and some 6" ducting.

Yea i was in the same spot a little while back....i origionally just wanted a 400hps but then the 600 is almost the same price and the 1000 is just a bit mor than that.....you know how it goes.....anyway i ended up getting the 600....now i almost wish i went with the 1000.....with the 600 in the cooltube theres really just not much heat at all.....my tops are about 8 to 10 inches off the tops with no probs....what kind of reflector are u going with?

Most likely it will be a cooltube, if not that it will be a euro reflector.

It's funny, I'm practically starving myself trying to save money for this thing. But I sure as shit am not growing with CFLs again. I actually had a 400W HPS but I never got to use it. I ended up selling it to SAMisery and had to stop growing because my old roommate got paranoid.

Back in business now, though. And no fuckin' around this time!:hump:

My two survivors are indeed doing quite well. As of now they are in two gallons of tap water with one tablespoon each of Gh's FloraGro, FloraMicro, and FloraBloom. Ph is unknown at this time. Need to get a new ph tester and some pH down.

They're really starting to put some roots out now and Violet is putting down a few more than Emerald. Emmy use to be the big one of the two, but now they are just about neck and neck. Except Violet is growing faster now.

The race is on!

Emerald:



And some root action (notice how much bigger Violet's root system is):
