New and Improved. 400w Closet Scrog.

Hello again everyone ! Welcome to my second grow journal (hopefully I can entertain you all a little better this go around and hopefully learn some more along the way)..

Currently there are 4 girls starting their 3rd week of flower today, and 2 girls about 4 weeks veg. I have 2 clones (unknown lemon strain?) and 2 seedlings (skunk) in the veg room as well.. Unfortunately the 4 girls in flower are planted in miracle grow moisture control. It was all I could afford at the time of potting the ladies .. But these clones and seedlings on the way will be the start of the Fox Farm cycle. .

The idea of my grow is to veg 2-3 girls from clone for about 7 weeks (length of flowering time for lemon strain). I will top at least once and use lst to train the girls to stay short and wide during veg. . After 7 weeks the girls will be put into the lower level of the closet to flower and trained into a scrog net. ( The net was a last minute thing for this go around so it looks slightly rigged.. It's just a baby blocker fence)..

The strains: In the flower room there are 2 of the lemon girls and 2 Sweet Afghani girls (In picture: Back larger girls are the lemon.. Small girls up front in scrog are the afghans).. The lemon strain is really unknown. I got these couple of cuttings from a good buddy not too long ago.. I have smoked what comes from this plant and it is just out of this world potent. He has been growing this same unknown strain for a solid 12 years now.. Either way this will soon fill my garden considering the fast veg growth, extremely fast flowering and the forgiveness to my mistakes. .

Damn these small pictures.. I'm sorry guys, I'll be sure to get some bigger pictures on here.. I'm not sure how to get them bigger with the new camera I'm using (iphone)... But so far everything is going well it seems so far.. The temperature can get pretty hot in there at points but the ladies still seem to be healthy... I have been able to lower the heat just by opening the window in my room...

I have my co2 tank to come on for 15 minutes once an hour at a rate of .5 on the regulator... It is a little much for my 60 cubic ft room but the room was made with plastic and pvc so I'm know I have a couple of leaks.. But ultimately I am still guessing on the co2 level :/

go pick up a co2 tester. theyre like $15.

let the co2 run the 15, then jump in the room and test it.

Well week 3 is over now.. Tomorrow will be the start of week 4 for these ladies... As you can see I'm still having problems with the picture sizing.. Sorry about that.. But if you look at the first 2 pictures that is what the ladies looked like just 7 days ago... I'm happy to see them start to take off so rapidly.. This strain is supposedly a 6 week strain so these next few weeks should be very explosive and exciting...

And these are just a few shots of the young ladies... long lanky looking girl is the afghani which I think looks this way because of the hps light im using for veg. I was told vegging with the hps makes strong plants but I still think my fluorescent lights produce faster growth and closer nodes.. The hps does strengthen the branches but the growth is stretchy and slow.. I think I'm gonna switch back.
