Hello. just about my grow.
Equipment.
150w hps from htgsupply
black and white poly 6"
dresser 3x3
2 6" desk fans
4 plants
distilled water
fox farm ocean soil
fox farm trio pack nutes
ph tester
soil checker
humidifer need a filter tho getting tonite
I have cfls for flowering later on to make more thicker tight buds. 6500/2700k CFL
I run 12/12 from 8am to 8pm
fans run 24/7
temps run between 70-81 depends on how I feel haha!!!(all ultility paid apt)
humidity is low bout 28-30% getting a humidifier filter for mine b/c mine was nasty so i will have that tonight.
water sched. is when the soil is drymy soil drys out very fast i think due to humid problem which i hope to fix tonight and solve of having to water more b/c of the soil drying out so quickly. FFOF when I water them/mist them why does the soil sink? I notice Im going to have to add more soil to them.


Plants
Biggest plant strain is unknown its just a random bag seed that i would try. its about a week/ week and a half old under 12/12 i think its already sexing? should I transplant it into a 8" inch pot? height is problem want only main cola. I have a whitewidow and 2 auto ak47s 2 are fem. bagseed and WW are fems. aks are unknown yet since they are 2-3 days old. any questions input will be nice.

If it is only a small grow 4 plants you dont need a few thing on the list good if you are thinking of exspanding.My first growroom conisted of a large fan a small exstractor fan the ones they use in bathrooms white reflective plastic on walls ceiling floor 4 plant pot holder the large one that takes big pots 4 holes drilled through walls of unit i built frame out of timber then claddened it in fire plaster board the holes were about 4 ince the small exstactor vented air out of room into loft space.I got at least 2 and harf ounce of each plant.every 8 week.I put one of my wifes stockings over the end of vent in loft to stop bugs used exspanding form around any vent.Seems you are gonna be paying out more than you will be making unless you go for it big style i work for a insurance company and a humidifire uses alot of electric bro thing like that in realy decent sized grows its got to be worth it to you is it gonna cost more in electric than you grow.But then again there is nothing nicer than sitting down watching a good film with a nice spliff of your own grade a shit or and a nice girl for when weeds gone.

place your forefinger and middle finger on either side of the stem, invert cup and shake gently until soil with roots comes out, place in new container with some soil added beforehand, fill in around sides and over top, water if needed, done

Update today. pulled out my bagseed plant and it was root bound so I transplanted it today. mite have got to big of a pot since I dont want the plants to get that big. hopefully she will survive!!! other 2 are doing great. WW she is getting very big and nice leaves. get me wrong but I think she might already smelling...? auto ak 47 is doing great as well. soon I will transplant both of these 2 as well.

Whats up shef..
Just found your new thread! Looking great man, other that a little wilting. I see you are rockin' the 150w and I see your ladies are lovin' it. I can't wait till I can blast my 400w conversion but the venting just isn't right yet. Noisy with a lot of air leaks. I cant seem to get enough damn duct tape!!! Anyways...

They look great and I am sure the growth will explode under all those new lumens they've got. Keep us posted.
