I have:
a 4x4x7.5 tent
1000w MH with dimmable ballast by 5w increments up to 1105w
6" aircooled hood
6" 435cfm fan
2 Tangerine Dream clones in 3gal pots
2 Grape Krush clones in 3gal pots
1 Cross called 'skittles'
1 kush x Blue Dream clone from Cali in 3gal pot(supposedly an f1 clone, because supposedly my guy I go to for clones who has warehouses for growing had a buddy drive the motherplant here, and it's a big deal new clone or something, idk)
1 dj short blueberry in 4 gal pot
Temp stays between 76-81, 85% of the time it's in the 70's. Humidty is between 30-45% mostly.

All put in fox farm ocean soil. I water about every 2nd day with water from walmart I fill up, then let sit out to evaporate anything bad out. Then I get the PH to between 5.5 and 6.5 with my kit....hopefully lol. I have a white widow, moonwreck, crazy train, and atf clone all on their way just to fill space my others don't, and if there's not enough room, they're just gonna be kept off to the side vegging and being trained until they're readyfor flowering immediately after this crop.
Im shooting for a 5-6oz yield hopefully. To pay off this setup, then try a scrog in a U shape around my tent next time with 3 plants.


I will add pictures later when I figure out how to do it from my phone. Since that's all I have to use for now. I don't smoke, but my girl does. I'm in the Army, and luckily we're in WA. This was always way more fun and addicting than smoking ever was, and she's letting me follow a passion >:^)

I hope you'll join, and be along for the ride and help me with any problems that arise. Anything I left out just ask.
Started this on Mar 23rd under a few 125w cfl's (2). Then some time at 600w Mh, then when I got the fan we've had it on 1000w since.

Gonna throw these into flower really soon, next monday I think. Can't wait to see some flowers! Already have a bunch of preflowers everywhere excpet for the Dj short BB, it only has a few. Think this week will give it what I feel is an acceptable level of growth with enough tops and nodes to flower with and be worthwhile. I tied down all the branches to make it more bushy, and get all the undergrowth to flourish! :D

The white widow, moonwreck, and sourberrydisel I have comkng, I'm gknna start the scrog with.

If you're getting RO water from Walmart you could be doing more bad than good leaving it out. Good luck with it though
Really, whys that? The distilled water I get I don't leavr out. But if it doesn't say distilled, I let it sit out. What bad am I doing? Could you help me out.

Just through them into flower monday, this pic was from yesterday! I think they looks prety good. Took some getting used to with the whole tired leaves look for the first hour when the lights come on. I kept thinking they were dry. Till the time I watered thrm and water ran right through. Then I remembered reading about how they perk up, rookie mistake lol

Ran into a spider mite problem. I think it was from the new clones I recieved. Been using doctor doom spray for the previous 2 days, and last night I used Mighty Wash which has gotten alot of good reviews. Here are the updated pictures of flowering. The bg space in the middle is because I had just taken out the runt (spider mite infested plant)

Days are getiing too hot. So Im leaving them in dark for 24hours, and gonna switch the light cycle at 9 oclock tonight to make it a much more manageable temperature time frame.

I'm starting week 3 of flowering. For the strains I have, or just period, do I look on par for flowering timeline? I feel like my buds are lagging for now. I'll throw more pictures up tomorrow for accurate pics for you guys to judge. But for thr pics I have up now. Does that look like its on par for day 11 or whatever it was at the time?
