Your plants look good. That first pics makes it look like one giant bush haha. Going back and forth about our grows has been helpful in some ways because there is info being exchanged back and forth. By the way what are you using for lighting on that setup? You might have said it before, but I can't remember for the life of me.

That is a nice setup. I plan on getting the same thing for when I have the $ and expand my growing.

yeah it was expensive but worth it. I have a ph meter and a ppm meter and a wireless temp/humidity digital gage. My ballast is awesome I can set it on 250w, 250w SL (Super Lumens, which is about 275w), 400w, and 400w SL which is about 430w. worth the money for sure. I saved up a while for this all in one system.

I have some updated pics of my ladies. I flipped the lights to 12/12 instead of 14/10, the bushy one just keeps on stretching and is starting to flower. they are both suppose to be autos but they aren't auto flowering so the new light cycle, from what i read will force the small one into flower.
the bushy tall one is just over two feet now which is tall enough for me, i want them buds damnit.

Actually yeah, There has been some growth in that area. I give it 3 days max and there will be leaves coming out of there.

They are going through water like I have never heard of. About a week or two ago they were only needing more water every week and a half. Then it was every week. Then 4 days. I just refilled the water and gave them nutrients yesterday. I checked my water level when I took the pics earlier and it is half way gone. Damn by this time tomorrow I might be giving them water again.

It is small hahaha. It is just under a gallon. It is a small one. That is why I only have two plants going right now. If I had a bigger reservoir and more room. I would have about 5-6.

shit I have 8 sites and only two plants and one is taking up enough room for three. I am going to do three or four next time. I just bought a rubber made storage box and drilled a hole in the lid and dropped my backup pump and hose in it. I res is outside of my cab, inside is a small one liter res and when it gets low it has a bobble that kicks on the back up pump to fill the sites back up, very convenient.

I am using an aerogarden lmao..that would be why. It's only for a start and to get a slight grasp on growing. I plan on getting a custom made hydro system in the future when I have the $.

I had to do a total reconstruction to my grow box. I flipped the whole dresser upside down and used the top as the bottom. I added a foot and a half of height to it, an air duct for hot air to escape out the top. Right now it looks a little ghetto. I still have to tweak it. Especially because my humidity levels went from the low 70s light off to high 50s light off. I don't like that at all. I plan on taking pics later when the light is back on to show everyone what I did, but until then I am letting the ladies sleep.

Mine started out being in the low 70s even with light on, idk why but I feel a lot better about it being higher through veg. I know when flowering time comes. 40s is good to reduce the chance of mold.
