Hi all I'm a Washington Medical Patient and I'm currently working on my first small grow. Basically my setup works like this; it's an attic like room with slanted celings that I have completely tarped off with panda platic. Providing my light I have a G8-LED 240w (comparable to a 400w HID). In my little area I have a small desk fan keeping the air flowing and a small heater until connected to a duct to my window to pull fresh air. (using heater for fresh air because it like 30 degrees out.

Humity is usually around 40-50 when I first got them I kept the humitiy in the high 70s because I trasplanted them as soon as I saw a sign on rooting because I'm impatient. As for the tempurture when I wake up in the morning it's usally 68-70 (after light has been off for 6 hours) I turn on the heater unit (also pulling fresh air) for about 30min raising the temp to to about 82 and it slowly falls thoughout the day to around 72 before the light turns off.

I've been watering as need (usually once ever 2-4 days) with tap water that has been sitting out overnight. Every other watering I use about 1/2 the recommended amount of BioRoot. Will change this about 3rd week to a "grow" formula.

My plants we transplanted roughly 10 days ago. I transplanted the biggest one right into a 5gal bucket (Fortune Cookie) for experimental purposes and she's doing very well as it seems. The other 2 (Girl Scout Cookies) were transplanted in 1gal buckets. One isn't doing as well because I think I traspanted her to early. See pictures.

That's everything I can think of for now. The biggest one doubled in size from trasplant so I'm really happy about that. I'm more than welcome to any comments questions or recommendations. Thanks!

Right on dude, welcome to RIU. Looking good so far. Are you thinking about topping or Fiming them though? Couldn't really tell with the pics and the light on but it didn't look like they were topped. Other than that from what I can see your girls are looking good. I also know the plight of having to keep the grow room warm when the lights are off, I always think "at least it's better than having a heat problem...", ha.

Have you topped? or FIM? also think about LST or super crop later. Looks like those are sativas.

Looking good. :clap: I also transplanted my two week old ladies into 5/7 gallon pots and they did well considering they're 8 weeks into flowering now. I wanted to only transplant once and was very careful watering them being so small in large pots. Happy growing. :weed:

That's what I was thinking when I first traspanted her. :) I'll probably just always throw them in 5 gals but I'll see how the smaller ones come out after everything. Thanks and happy growing to you :joint:
