Not at all, I actually prefer having people to talk to...The fish get a little boring every now and then.

Pics. By the way right now I am using jiffy seed starting mix (Im addicted to this shit) So I will have to start nutes soon incase anyone is wondering.

They're looking good! I'm actually using that mix right now too, but I don't think I like it? Everything seems to float to the top!

Your plants are looking good! 2 days apart from my little Flower and they're all substantially bigger then her. You must take real good care of your girls, its showing.

Thanks man. 2 Years of reading on here pays off I guess. The jiffy mix by the way is a little tricky to water. What I usually do is let them dry out really good then I put just enough water to cover the top of the dirt all the way across the pot, Let it soak in for about 15 minutes and water again until it runs through. I do keep a towel in there to soak up run off. The reason you do it like that though is because with peat moss I noticed that once one area gets wet ALL the water goes through there instead of all around the pot.

EDIT: Didnt want to double post so il add to this. Just checked the room its at 97.5 degrees and 47% humidity witch im proud of given the fact that It took me about 3 minutes with 1 of the 2 panels open to get to checking it. I do need to get something to view trichs though. I lost my jewelers lense :(

So as you can see nitrogen def was setting in on the newly named jizzy (biggest - first 2 pics) Shes the only one im naming. Just because of the person I know I call jizzy...Anyway first 2 are of jizzy, #3 is of all 5 and the rest are pretty much of the rest of the plants.

sup newport, im scribed up for this one, i have a simple and cheap soulution for your temp problem. go grab a 50cfm bathroom vent fan and install it in the uper corner of your box, then drill two 1 1/4 holes on the either side of the box, this should keep your temps down to just a few degrees above ambient room temps outside the box. same setup i use in my cab, and its bigger than yours. if you are worried about noise and smell you can spend a few extra bucks on the wisper quiet model fan, home depot around 60 buck, flows 70 cfm, and grab some fish tank filters to make yourself a little carbon canister to hook up to it. good luck, plants look great for the ultra high temps. oh and i belive thats not a n def on that one plant, its natural for those coyltedons ( i think thats how its spelled) to turn yellow and fall off after a couple weeks.

It isnt just those, You cant see it in the pics but the leaves were starting to yellow. Also, Its activated carbon...Im setting up my 5th fish tank in my house right now trust me I know tanks :P As for the entire temp problem...Ehh, No biggy I can do it fairly easily. My main problem isnt temps, If I wasnt running CO2 I would worry. However, Since mari jane dosent efficiently absorb CO2 until 95+ im not sweating it, Its boosting the help.

activated carbon is what they use in carbon canisters dude... and it sucks up the smells the plants give off nicely. ah i didnt notice the other leaves yellowing, hit them with whatever veg fert you are going to be using just use a 1/4 dose. hope she greens up for ya. how much co2 u running?

good to hear that, yeah those little diy co2 things are pretty useful, my buddy runs 2x 2 liter bottles and his cab sits at 1200ppm, they didnt seem to make a difference in my box, but thats probly cause its right by an old gas heater outlet and it stay around 1100ppm in there anyways once it warms up a bit and the co2 drops im going to put a couple in there.

Im actually working on rigging up a output fan now and just have a "default" intake. Also will upgrade to 2 liters then but only got 1 pack of yeast left so when I do theyll be a little low on output compared to the 16 oz. Hopefully il have pics up tomorrow, Just noticed the time. I got a lot of tests going on right now ("abnormality" on my left lung) so I cant stay up at night lol.

Well, I just went and checked on the girls and it looks like I started nutes a bit early on 3 of the plants and they got some minor nute burn. Hopefully theyll bounce back before the next watering, Flushing them now before I go to bed.

I came up with an even cheaper solution for a fan. Just put it in, Girls looking a little weird im not sure if its nute burn or deficiency. Im betting on def more than burn since I am using at only 1/4 strength, I mean, 2.5ml of MG isnt a lot in a gallon right? Its 30-10-10 incase it matters. Anyway, On to what you want to see...PICS!

yeah still looks like deff to me, try bumping the dose up to half strength next feeding, watch the tips of the leaves for nute burn, you should see a really dark green before it gets to that though.

Will do man thanks. I got a treat for ya if you stay around a few more minutes im taking pics now of my new CO2 system il go ahead and post them.

I think you can figure out how it will work. Il take pics when the lights come on too...Should have it in by then

Just added a second exhaust fan to get better default intake so I dont have to worry about smell leaks once I add carbon later in the grow. LST'd my garden plants in the cab lol. I might take more pics later of how everythings set up now.
