Hey man shit is looking pretty legit. The only thing I can recommend is to bring the water level pretty high up when they are seedlings that ways that can absorb a decent amount of oxygen and water through the clay pebs. Any ways everything thing looks good. Keep up the good work. REP +

Man that setup is if freaking awesome. It look's professional and I can tell you put a lot of time into getting this running.

Is that your carbon filter above your light?

yeah it is an odor sock... I just have to get the air movement through the cool tube increased cause the room is 68 degrees and as soon as that light warms up it is 89 in the box... so I need to get some 4" inline fans... will pick them up this week... :) it is super awesome! till then the plants will stay in the smaller box I made! thanks man.

i have grown 2 times in 3 gallon buckets at 12 12 from seed. i know about how tall (give or take a few inches) every plant i grow will be. in my 3 gallon buckets they never get more then a foot and a half tall. just started a 32 oz. cup grow to try and maximize yeild with my lighting. i want atleast 8 plants under a 250w hps, and 125w full spectrum CFL. but anyway the size of your plant is relative to pot size. you can grow a 5 to 6 ft. plant in 3 gal. pots, but you have to veg. for a month and a half before switching. if i had your exact set up, i would try and take advantage of all that light, and either LST like the other guy recommended, or grow in smaller pots. FYI do not veg. 24/0 do 18/6.

18/6 still stands. darkness promotes better growth. if your lookin for substantial growth then switch to 18/6
