thank god for friends like that...i have one on the way over right now to work on my room. The game is on but i dont think i will be making the mistake again.MY GOD DR GRUBER! A timer to close my stupid door would really be the answer! HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.....Gonna call one of my "techie-trekkie" friends and see what they can rig for me....mUHUHHAHAHA
Cool!Sub'd very interested to see how this comes out...

Thanks Ashlee!I'm interested to see what the clones do. Will you be taking any clones?
I went very low tech. I put a piece of paper on the door out of my grow area that says "Close up the tent's dumb ass!" and a picture of Miss High Times 2010. One of those two things always catches my eye and leads me to the other.Maybe i need a timer to close my door for me.lol

I realized i should have mentioned that I used extra Dolomite Lime in my soil and that is a source of CalMag i do believe. Also the Microkote i paint the pots with for root spinout has a small amount of Calmag too.I have Jacks Classic 30-10-10 for veg. Jacks classic 10-30-20 for flower. And Jacks all purpose 20-20-20.All have the complete micro nutrient line up. I have run a few grows with nothing but the 20-20-20 and it works great. this grow has been primarily the 20-20-20 and when it looks like it needs something specific i give it one of the others. I follow the advice of Uncle Ben and Riddleme on this site. Check out Riddlemes grows he can explain it better then I.
I dont use teas or anything else and the JAcks seems to have enough Cal/MG
Have you used microkote before? Seen some good stuff on this,but recommended the air pots, like hobbes uses.I realized i should have mentioned that I used extra Dolomite Lime in my soil and that is a source of CalMag i do believe.

Ive been usuing it for awhile and it works great. I bought a 2 gallon jug of it and it will last awhile so i will use it until its gone...might go to the airpots then.Have you used microkote before? Seen some good stuff on this,but recommended the air pots, like hobbes uses.
sorry about the lack of new pics...ive been busy working on the new flower room and keep forgeting to snap some G13 shots. I promise I will get them tonight and have them up no later then tomorrow am. in the meantime here is a pic or two of the room in progress. Next step is to make it light tight and paint it, which i will be doing tonight.How about some new pics Doc? Are you saving some cuttings?
WHAT IN THE HELL IS YOUR AVATAR?! CHUPPACABRA?!!Room is looking good. I like the call to use green board for the moisture too.
UPS just delivered my new 600 watt HPS light....time to add more power to the plants.
Im running my lights without hoods and hung vertically like this.....x= plant O = Light
.................................O
.................................X
..............................X O X
.................................X
.................................O
I will put the 600 in the middle and the 400's at the ends. On the next run i will probably put plants at the ends as well like this....

(For my non-Mexican friends, that is a very funny joke, I promise)
Yeah i read one like that myself and have considered it but this is the first time ive done it and its still in the experimental phase. Might try that in the future but ive always been a "dont cut anything off" kinda guy.I read in one guys grow journal how he simply picked all the growth off the backside when he hung his lamps vertically like that. His growth that WAS facing the light was outstanding and the back was nice and clean. Basically if it didn't get direct light, he took it off, and the plants tended to grow towards the light anywya, sort of like how you see these guys doing vertical grows, just without the height.
Just some food for thought.
