If you are old enough to grow weed, you are old enough to lose the sailboat blanky off your bed! Seriously though, looks like a good start. Good luck with your grow!
 
August 23rd
- Put in another 20 watt cfl
- Switched wattering schedule to twice a day instead of three, (wish i did that shit sooner, fucked up..oh well learned from mistakes :wall:)

August 25th
- Got home to see the light bulb was making the closet too hot, 97 degrees :fire:, so i took that shit down, and left just two 24" fluorescents just 34 watts together
- Plants, didnt take too bad of an injury, suffered a little heat, and some dehydration i think, because it seemed the heat had evaporated the water faster then the plants could take in the moisture of the rockwool, so with this hypothesis, i switched the pump timer on for a minute or two to damp the cubes. The plants bottom pedal leaves are curling down a bit and turning brown, i think maybe from the water being evaporated too fast.
- Plant D: has suffered overwattering problems from the beginning because of its location on the tray (area of excess solution), just like plant a (rip), but d is a small stunted plant but seems to still be growing real stubby (hope i can salvage it, if not its gave me some good insight on how i should be watering now soooo, win some, lose some)
- Plant C: the biggest, first set of leaves are kinda droopy, and browning at the bottom pedal leaves
- Plant B: the nicest looking plant, strong stem and nice leaves, also browned bottom pedal leaves
- Plant C and B have a little woody looking like stems at the bottom.

August 27th
-no 6am water for plants D and C, all plants watered at 6pm
-hopfully corrected the watering issue...:?:
-obvious signs of growth with new leaves
-bottom pedal leaves of all plants are still brown and curled, no signs of browning on other leaves
-set fans on each side of room, ph:5.5-6.0, temp:low77/high90(its hot on the westcoast) humidity:low30shigh40s,24/0 lighting, 54watts out of two 24"fluorescents, wattered twice a day, on 1/4 solution of flora micro, flora gro, and flora bloom.

-Plant B Week 3 Day 21: all plants barely seem to start growing their 4th set of leaves
