Thats my understanding, the Big Bud is the Advanced Nutrients version of House & Garden's Bud XL... I better find out once I start feeding on my own next week :P

I'd like to go all indica-dominant w/ a half-full room and x2 600w lights thrown in. About to post my photoshop'd concept.

nice, I have the same going except I have additional 100watt 5000k
daylight bulbs for the sides of the plants and with your size plants you could
occasionally bring them outdoors for sun weather permitting of coarse.

Being in San Jose I should be right on schedule to start doing so in a couple weeks.
Scared to death of spider mites, the only reason I probably won't honestly...

Changes...
Feed Schedule:
Day 1: 1100 @ 5.9
Day 2: Fresh @ 5.9
Day 3: Skip

Hardware:
Carbon Filter
pH pen
ppm pen
-- All came in from Amazon.com
Notes:
Trimmed away all damaged foliage, reason being... I can now document changes that'll be traceable in my journal.
My belief is that misting during lights-on was causing burns, I'm still feeding w/ a small amount of chlorine in the water... we'll see if I get a repeat of damages endured by the end of next week. By then I'll have my RO unit hopefully, and this will all be behind me.

Things to do:
Mount 6" Fan & Filter on ceiling. No ducting to an exhaust necessary, I maintain a temp of 72 as is.
Set up cloning station in closet, need to cut from mother for next cycle within a week.
Mount light in center of the room, preparing for the x2 600 watt lights that'll be on each side, filling half of the room.

Good luck! I have heard that GSC yields horribly.

Patient 2 Patient in San Jose. Cloned from a beast mother plant... I tried researching today when going to my breeder but he said it was basically impossible to trace/truly answer.
