nice set up man, just a few words of advice: don't be upset if your first few grows don't go as planed. even with the best gear and all the reading you can do there is still prolly a 50% chance your first grow will have probs. but i guarantee if you stick with it it will pay off in the end. i just see a lot of guy on here who buy all the good gear and still have problems with there first few grows (like we all did) and get down and out about it.

theres alot of good, correction, "great" growers on here who will give you great advice, just be selective about which ones you listen to.

yeah...i kno mate ..not too bothered if it dont go as planned...once its all set up its onli a matter of time b4 i crack it...im not a total noob...iv set up some peoples grow tents and that, read up bout it and told em wat to do cos they a bit retarded....just never done it myself...fingers crossd my clones are good and thatl b half the prob in my view....im pretty anal wen it comes to doin shit so itl b less is more the first time i think...its the nutes that im a bit worried about...iv read followin the directions on the bottle aint always a good idea and its the ppm that matters and each strain is diff and that god knos too much info my brain hurts readin bout it all the time

had a few probs so i thought id let u kno wat they were...first the noise on the intake and extraction 6 and 8 inch respectively is pretty loud,this is my biggest problem....it isnt really the ductin as opposed to the fans themselves.im hopin a bafflebox on both will be enuff....secoind them contactor boxes dont come with any instructions and got the timer back to front first day ,third make sure u got somewhere for your ballasts i got 6 of em and it was a nightmare to rig up with onli 1 socket,used multiple ext leads...the intake and extr,fans dont come with plugs on and u hav to wire them urself,so seek help wiv that if u dont no wat ur doin.....duct tape is a lifesaver...buy at least 3 rolls....buy a cheap staple gun for puttin up ur mylar and gettin leads out of the way...dont forget trays for your pots...also i didnt get any sort of measuring pot for my nutes and had to figure out how much a table spoon holds...

if i had sussed all that out b4 i startd id of saved about 3 days set up time....

yup those bitches are a pain!!! i get mites pretty often.. cuz my floor is dirt/gravel in my garage.. =) so i spray with a HORTICULTURAL OIL every week!! called ridbugs.. its made in arroyo grande california and works really good and makes em shine. i usedto use purespray green and it worked better but they stopped makin it.

Thr room looks good.. need to fill all that floorspace you cant see the floor in my room and in my opinion its the best way to increase yields =)

how you got spider mites in a brand new setup mate? if you got them off the clones then id go find who sold em you and smash them up especially if id of payed 200 notes for clones !!! your whole room will need sterilizing now from the mites its o0nly a matter of time before they move onto your other plants !
