Day 24 - 9/6. Veg time: 23 days I returned from labor day vacation to find the ventilation fan had fallen! It was only being held by the tape between the duct and fan and it must have come loose. Luckily, that scrog screen (which still needs to be cut; keep forgetting to do that) rescued the...

Hey Holden, thanks for the info. I should have definitely let them dry out much more than I did. I fed my grapefruit plant (last picture in OP) just this morning with low strength FF Grow Big and Big Bloom and while it did get some noticeable vertical growth (stretching :/), the leaves are...

I see. I think I may try to get some nutes tomorrow and see what I can get out of those. I was thinking that since the roots aren't quite down to the level where the soil is still moist (from the first watering after transplant) that doing more frequent light waterings would keep moisture at...

Day 16 - 8/29 I think the cause of my plant issues were underwatering and possibly too much light. I moved the lights from 9" to 14" and they are responding well. Growth has picked up today and the plants are looking healthier. The topping sites are quickly coming to life and no new leaves are...

Pot is 7.5"x7.5"x8.75". Roughly 2 gallons. No nutes at the moment. I really hope its not rootbound already :/

Thanks for the input guys. I watered it some yesterday and am beginning to notice growth again. What's the rule of thumb for how far below the soil it needs to be moist? I have a moisture meter and have probed all the way to the bottom where it is always pretty moist, so I probably just need to...

Hey all, probably just being over-sensitive right now, but you all know how new growers are :) My plants are just over 2 weeks old now, grown in FFOF and watered with distilled water. Earlier this week, I have begun seeing drooping and curling, indicative of overwatering and high heat. So I have...

Day 14 - 8/27 Not too much interesting since the last post. I topped about a day and a half ago and am starting to see some new growth at the topping site. Growth has been slowing and I'm beginning to wonder about the conditions of these plants. I'd really like someone to take a look at...

Day 11 - 8/24 Transplanted everyone to their new homes in some 7.5"x7.5"x8.75" pots. No signs of transplant stress that I can tell and BS2 is already bouncing back with new growth. Gettin' exciting now :D Probably do some 4-way LSTing this weekend and start flowering maybe mid-next week...

Nah man, just a fan of a Polish prog group called Riverside. One day I'll make it to Riverside Cali though. Have a listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnK8DEYWxKs

Day 9 - 8/22 Most of the seedlings have at least 2 nodes and are looking good and healthy so far!

Day 4 - 8/17 So, lots of new things today! All three seeds have sprouted with Bag Seed (BS) 2 winning so far. Grapefruit (GF) on the left is a close second with BS1 as the gimp. Since the last update, the cab got a new cooling system: bilge blower, 4.2A DC supply and a speed controller. I...

Day 1 - 8/13 Two of the seeds popped their taproots, grapefruit and one of the three bag seeds. I'm trying to germinate at least one more bag seed as I'd like to have three plants growing here. Grapefruit and BS1 are in soil (Fox Farm Ocean Forest) and under the lights. Currently, I have no...

Starting germing the seeds today. Will probably have an update after transplant, hopefully after work. $219 from Gotham Hydro. Riverside, Polish progressive rock group :D

Dry run with lights. Doing some heat tests w/o ventilation and see how well the light is being blocked. Not very well as you can tell :P What the hell was I thinking using white vinyl tubing as sealant? It looks like a rope light.

Anyway, went with this PSU: http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=CENB1050A1203F01virtualkey67500000virtualkey675-CENB1050A1203F01 and this controller: http://store.qkits.com/moreinfo.cfm/MX033 I forgot a fan is motor with a blade on its shaft :P

Hmm I see. Thought I could do better, but I guess that will have to do. Yea, I have like 4 or 5 old PSUs at my parent's house but I don't want to make them ship one of them out to me. Thanks for the advice.

Welcome to the show hoss! Small update now that the thread has finally been posted. Got the door mounted and went with magnetic latches. Used vinyl tubing to seal the door with the frame, and it looks pretty air tight so far. I'll probably mount the lights tomorrow and do the light test. Ran...

Hey all, I'm in search of a 12V DC fan controller that can handle about 4A. My vent fan is a bilge blower so it puts out some nice CFMs but I need to quiet it down a bit. All I can find are PC fan controllers that cannot do more than an amp per channel. Anyone have a reasonably priced solution...

Hey RIU! Been lurking here for awhile waiting for my situation to become ideal for growing, and that time has come! I've been planning this for months and things are finally starting to take shape. So, I have this old bookshelf that I had lying around. It stands about 5' tall and is 28" wide...
