Day41. November 30,2012
Started LST. Plants D and C starting flowers



Day44. December 3,2012
Plant A: many bud sites lots of possible nice colas and small start of flowers preformed Mores LST
Plant B: just starting flowers a little nute burn. Leaves just cupped down flushing a bit with just H2O.
Plant C: has Siamese cola.

2 plants started to flower about 7 days ago the other 2 yesterday I'm not going to scrog just using some of my bonsai tree wires to LST a bit the froth exploding from the center of the plants is rediculous. One of them that didn't really bush with the LST has some great nuggets forming. It's so far ahead of the others.

Looking good but I doubt that fan is strong enough for that filter. Id pick up a real inline. You already have a air cooled hood so a inline fan would let you use that too. Happy growing

Its the same filter set up my buddy uses in the same tent and I have never smelled anything in his place. If things start to smell I'll get a stronger fan but I think it will work out.

If its working I guess. Are you exhausting the tent at all?

Yup I've sort of built as I went along. The air flow goes filter booster fan to booster fan on hood to outside the tent.

What kind of light do you have in the veg tent? Can a 4 foot T5 fit in a 4 x 4 tent or is it too tight? I'm brand new to growing, thinking about investing in two tents, one for veg (4 x 4) and one for flower (probably 6 x 6).

No problem that's why I threw that pic up.

IMY was the same light a 600 watt digital metal halide and high pressure sodium. Only one tent this run. Next run I will most likely grab another tent probably 2x4 or something with a 400watt halide for veg.

This girl is going to be a monster(for me anyway).

I've kind of surprised myself its been a decade since I've grown my own and I thought I would have run into a few more problems. Knock on wood I've only experienced a little nute burn. One thing sure hasn't changed. The amount of time I just sit staring at my girls I think has increased. I think I want to try an 8 week veg along side an auto crop next run and veg out some true monsters.

Thanks, mnmobbin. I'm getting a 4 x 3.5 x 5.25 to get myself started and just thinking about what I need for lights. I'm planning to build as I go too.

Twins every mans dream

Growing medical herbs is an excellent hobby or business on the side. The art and science of this process has been refined over the years, so you probably shouldn't have any problems growing herbs on your own.

A misguided youth has given me plenty of basics knowledge but having the Internet at my finger tips at almost any moment I want has definitely made a difference. I don't know about a business but the dork in me feels it's like a science experiment.
