Sorry Matt, lol but u cant get to mad with a baby as cute as urs lol I cant wait to have one myself. Thanks guys, the buds are quite nice! :)
Shane lol i know HPS would grow a bigger yield, i have fooled around with HPS quite a few times and i enjoy it and they do grow great buds! In all honesty though im really just doing all this indoor grow as a hobby. I didnt even think CFL's would grow a decent plant, I was always told they only grow lanky plants with fluffy buds and after trying it myself i have learned thats bull! CFL's will grow a decent plant, I actually have 2 led UFO 90watts that i will be placing in there after LowLa gets out. Just yet another attempt to see how well it will do. When all said and done if i continue to grow indoors HPS will be what i use!

i dont get mad, i get frustrated. as will you im sure when you have a child. When you are trying to get something done but the kid is crying so you have to make that choice. do i pick him/her up or let them cry (providing the child is fed/changed ect ect) i mean sometimes they just cry to cry, and alot of times they cry because they want to be held, which is all normal stuff but if your busy trying to do soemthing and you break to feed/change the baby and then put him/her down to attempt getting some work done but the second you put him/her down they cry. cant get no work done......


i dunno like i said i dont get mad i just get frustrated sometimes and smoking a doob helps. then i do what any dad would do and put my work off and tend to the kid LOL

I'm just curious cuz mine looked similar just the other day...how big is the pot she's in? My baby come to find out has been root bound for probly a week or more. Having just transplanted to a 10gal tote to finish her out. But just the last couple days before the transplant she looked all droopy like yours has....just a passing thought....

All in all things are looking great :)

Hey h2ba,

Nice journal and what an impressive stealth cab!

How's the smell? Have you installed a carbon filter? What kind of bulbs are in the T5s? Other than the heat they produce, have you noticed any differences with or without them? SO many questions!

I'm late but subbed and following. Looking forward to the harvest!

The smell is non existent, Yess i do have a Carbon Filter purchased from Amazon. As far as the T5's i notice a big difference using them than the CFL's the plants prefer the T5's from what i notice the T5's im using are 80w made for plant development once again Amazon.com! lol Glad to have u following, a little late though, I will be making a new thread tomorrow from start to finish with a new setup! Hope u can follow on that one!

Make way for a new way! So glad to get rid of that big ass plant and that god awful huge pot it was in! Now i can get these plants back in veg for a while and make some good clones. These two plants remaining have both showed their sex a few weeks ago and now are Vegging again..... im stoned...... Hopefully we will get a good outcome with the new setup!

Im excited to see how much i yield too! Im not shooting for much, due to this being my first indoor plant! She has seen alot of good and bad lol and im just glad she survived! I weighed what i had right after tripping and it all weighed out to 32.8grams so if i get 12-14grams i will be happy! The plant from seed til harvest was 79days! Which i feel is pretty impressive!

Also im not sure what ur asking is a PC tower? The picture that u see with the plants is a 3x4 Cabinet! The HUGE light u see in that picture is a 105w 6500k Day Light Bulb. Im going to place that and the clones in the closet with a Cloning Dome and heat pad!

Awesome! Was the=at dry weight or still moist?

And PC Tower(Personal Computer Tower), I see alot of ppl doing this for fun mostly or college students with limited dorm room space haha! But I'm in it for more yield than a couple grams which is why I've grown enough weed to last me between harvests. Though these past couple months I'm without a job so I had to sell about half of the Kaya Gold I just clipped in December to pay my rent...so now I'm all out of my own stuff till the Kryptonite I'm putting to flower soon gives me more lol

That was Moist, Bud has dried now(for the most part) Weight is about 16.7? Thats about what i thought i would have!
Also no its not a PC tower, its a Cabinet 3x4ft Dimensions. I cant grow weight in the house just cuz of multiple reasons! I grow weight outdoors every year!
Im growing mainly for fun inside, i have such a great time with my plants throughout the Warm season i figured why not make it a all year hobby

This is what im growing in! Quite abit bigger than a pc tower!
