Alright you guys as you can tell my temps have been climbing as summer draws closer, so i may have to put the PC grows on hold but dont you fret I have a beautiful outdoor grow coming along you can follow aswell as im going to start constructing a stealth cabinet from scratch that i think some of you will go nuts over for sure! and ill turn the PC case in a boner cloner! just thought id let you know whats going on... anywho now for pics...

Pic 1-4: Heres Nedra looking beautiful with bud sites developing oh so nicely, and im definetly going to have to take Ele's advice and reveg her because i think she has more to give... shes also about a quarter inch below the lights and even with the rise in temp. shes still looking amazing and healthy!

Pic 5-8: Kendra looking great aswell her top budsite looking great and she is also developing little ones along her stem i like to think of them as little rose buds, they are so cute. shes doing very well even with the rise in temp but shes about an 8th of an inch from the lights should i raise them or leave them? Other then that she looking great! Oh i forgot Kendra has a fan leaf fading in color what you guys thoughts on that?

Any advice or input you guys would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! I'm into my second PC grow now and I have to cut leaves every 4 days cause it getting BIG.

I just wanted to tell you that I think you have too much heat in there. It would grow FASTER with air between 75-80. And maybe you have too much light too... you will say I,m crazy, but I've had too much light on my first grow and growth was stopped. I think 42watts is enough in a small place like that and it'S unnecessary to put light 2-3 inch close to the plants.

Anyway... I'm using NOCTUA fans to keep 1 X 42watts temperature around 75-82, And my new plant is sooo healthy, I really see BIG growth in only 3-4 days.

Feel free to look at my threads and take this message as friendly!

Keep up the good work!

Hey DW
Have to agree with Blisters. Those sound a touch too close to the lights for me. 1 -2 inches away is the money zone, so maybe keep the very tops at 1.5 inches so they have some room to grow.
A little room between the tops and the lights also helps temps by allowing a little more air movement.

also the distance would encourage a little stretching... maybe thats a good thing. are you carbo loading with molasses? read around, i hear its the way to fatten bud in soil.

Kendra's yellow leaf.. she need some N, maybe? I know the FoxFarm chart recommends some N in the later weeks to give it some energy for flush.

Lookin' awesome! Those bus are about to blow up! Also, Shack's got a great idea. I feed all of my plants molasses and agave nectar mixed in with water for any drinks that are non-nuted. The sugar helps load weight on.

What else.. considered ghetto co2? I keep putting it off, but it's on the agenda. :)

And for lights.. as much as possible, so.. the 200W, for certain! Glad to see you sticking to the CFLs instead of going to the dark side. ;)

My hat goes off to you sir, congrats from new zealand. this thread has finally made me get my lazy ass onto building my pc box. Im in the beginnings of my 2nd grow,first realattempt. I have done outdoors, but having a blast playing god with my indoor op. Ive decided to go back to school and do a cert in horticulture, so thanks to you and RIU for the inspiration. Would love it if you wandered over to my grow and give me a 2nd opinion (its in my sig).

Thanks again dude,

Best of luck to you sub +rep

wowza ka-powza! nedra is looking awesome! i say a carbo load is all kendra would need, nedra could benefit but doesn't look like she needs it as much.
I went hydro so I wouldn't really have to think about it, but like 2 or 3 times a week checking pH and water level and such. would say its easy to keep up with a watering/nute schedule for soil grown?
