I've got her drying now - no need to hurry
and rush things, my stock of weed is OK :lol:.
The z of hash was made with the trim of 10 plants (last grow) I used the ice-o-lator bags & the results Rock !!

I have always left my fans on 24/7, and the plants grow very thick, sturdy trunks - and you're right, they will turn back towards the light in a very short time.

I dont like leaving mine on 24/7 because as you may know verything is seasonal here in ak and the only fans i have arnt oscilating say i like to leave them on a few hours then turn them off a few because they are so small still. when they get bigger leave them on longer, but soon i should be able to get oscilating fans so that will be nice.

my brownies where crap ate one the first night but was so late by the time was done went to bed but ate 3 last night and nothing:cuss:so im assuming i either didnt cook the butter long enough (cooked for 2 .5 hours in a jar with the 1/4 ounce stove top) or i just didnt use enough weed, either way im pretty upset about it 1/4 oz out of 2.35 is kinda shitty to lose guess no more experimenting untill i have more to play with. still havent made up my mind if i want to transplant or not today. was wanting to wait longer but im worried about the roots that may be growing outside the jiffy pots and them drying out because its so hard to keep the soil evenly moist.

Ok put them under the 400w have the light 21inches from the top of the tallest one is this an ok distance? thinking with the size of the pots and the amount of heat maby water twice a aday so they dont dry out? got the next 2 days off so i can check them often and see how they do.

Ok this is my second grow just harvested my first grow got 2.5 oz off a really ghetto set up only had 110w of CFL and MG soil and nutes with 2 White Widow seeds luckly they both ended up female. This grow though I have upgraded pretty much everything and planted my last 6 WW seeds here is my set up.

Space: 5x4 walkin closet.

Lights: 110w cfl during seedling, 400w MH for veg, and 400w HPS for flower.

Medium: Black Gold orgainic poting soil.

Nutes: Botanicare Pro Grow 3-2-4, Pro Bloom 1-4-5, Cal Mag suppliment 2-0-0, Clearex for flushing and I plan to buy Liquid Karma as well.

Containers: 18oz Party Cups, 3 gal pots.

Seeds: 6 reg White Widow (WW) from http://www.amsterdammarijuanaseeds.com/product_info.php?id=n1098436557135636506813643&currency=49&product_id=1

Ok so to germ I soaked them in 6.0 phed water for 24 hours. After a 24 hour soak none of the seeds cracked open but I was trying Riddleme's method of germing so I filled up the 6 jiffy pots halfway then just pushed some dirt over the seeds and used ziplock bags over the tops for ghetto humidity domes. After 3 days 4 out of the 6 sprouted and 2 days later 1 more sprouted still waiting on number 6. Just got done cleaning out the grow room hanging up the mylar and lights and puting everything back and did a dry run. With the doors closed my temps hit 90 degrees F but i plan on taking the door down and replacing it with that black/white material and investing in a carbon filter and inline fan since i can't cut a whole in the door because I rent and there really isn't enough room to open and close the door with the 6 pots w/o moving one. So until then I will just leave the door open when the lights are on like last time. Here are some pics coments, critics, advisors, and praise all welcome! Enjoy! Shooting for 1/2lb this time guys think this is possible with the new set up? Let me know your thoughts will be updating often.:leaf::leaf::leaf:

Lookin good D83, they are going to take off with that 400. If the roots have hit the sides of the cup I would put them in the big pot and watch them explode!!!

They only a week old was thinking of holding off for another week b4 uppotting but i dont know since they really not in there as good as id like with the jiffy pot inside of the party cup we will see thought, had to watter them againn this morning soil was looking pretty dry but they are all doing great. They all pretty much had there 2nd set of leafs yesterday so I consider yesterday day one of the veg cycle gonna veg them 4-6 weeks depending on how they grow and 2 weeks b4 i put them into flower im going to try out UBs topping method, so thats where we are now stay tuned!

:leaf:Ok so 3rd set of leaves started to come in on all of them except tardaisha, and the leaves looked a lil yellow so i went ahead and put them into 3 gallon pots. didnt have enough soil to do the 5th pot which kinda sucks now i have to buy a whole nother bag just for one pot, but its ok cuz tardaisha prob could use a few more days to catch up in the lil pot. the roots on all the ones i transplanted looked nice and full, held the dirt together real nice even though it was seperate from the main part in the jiffy pots. my grow room is 5x4x8 what size inline fan would i need for a room this big and how often would i need to run it to get enough co2 to my plants. and if the 4in inline fan is big enough whats the biggest size room it can vent because one day my room will be bigger! thanks for the advice in advance, stay tuned more to come!:leaf:

1 bucket of water in your room. run your lights either 16/8 or 18/6. Turn them off in mid afternoon(hottest time of day)
Mist your plants with cold water. Keep the 400mh two feet away
