Hey bro the plants are looking amazing... Great work. Hey that PH down in the shiz huh? I love it! Keep it up
 
Nice grow. I just wanted to add that I was told that tin foil causes hot spots and other weird things. I was told to use mylar. I've only grown once and took the foil down and never used mylar, but am thinking about it next time.
Just a suggestion. What kind of lights are you using? What kind of lights are you going to use for the flowering stage?

Hey man i can see where you think foil can cause hot spots...Well yes it does but it is more common in HID lights and i am using 2x 85 watt Dual Spec lights. There isnt many watts so i realling dont have to worry about hot spots. Pluse with CFL's u move them alot because u can keep the 2 inches from the plant. I also plan on using the same lights for flowering. One Cool and One Warm Spec...here is a pic...take it easy man:leaf: (not a recent pic just a good one of the lights)

Q: what lights do u think i should get. I really dont have the funds to order from SH again so im stuck with Lowes or Wal-Mart. What watt and how many do u think will do? :leaf:
 
Seriously if it were me i would get about 3 high kelvin and 2lower kelvin bulbs and put em in there..they need more lighting..and deffiniteley GONNA need more in time to come.Surround it in lights!Put it like this,you cant have too much light but you can heat.SH bulbs produce alotta heat i heard from a reliable source so i never ordered any lighting from them.I got a 400w. HID setup in an a cooltube with a fan.

True i just put in four 13 watt bulbs(2 cool and 2 warm) for now i will invest in some more later on. I am thinking about getting a 600watt hps for next grow. Think its a good idea?:leaf:

Hey brother....a 600 would be awsome. IMO, just from research (no experience yet...will be upgrading next grow) it is the most efficient light for growing in a 4x4 area or larger. But I have this advice for you....if you do it...do it right. You will need to invest some money to do it correctly.

Here are a couple of links to get you started on your research.
This first site is for High Tech Garden Supply. Great, affordable prices on light kits. Digital is the way to go if you can afford it (Much more efficient). They also have great deals on fans and ventilation too. I have used them for the last couple of years and they are great and fast shipping!
When you buy your light consider this.....light footprint. If you buy a reflector that is longer and wider, you will get a much more ever light footprint. The smaller the reflector, the smaller more intense the footprint is. I am finding this out in my current grow. I have the Euro air cooled reflector from HTG and it Measures: 19" long x 11.5" wide x 7" deep. Not bad but it requires supplemental lighting with CFL's.
But if I had this.....Great White® 6" Air-Cooled Reflector - . (I will be upgrading to this reflector for all future grows.) It measures 32” long x 26” wide x 7¾” tall. Now you can see how much better this will be for your space and your plants. This will give you a nice even large footprint.

After this...you will need to look into ventilation....for the grow area and your light as well.
And if money is an issue...drop down to a 400watt (very nice..I use it as well) stay with the Great White air cooled reflector and start working on ventilation. Let me know when you need more info. Hope this helps your start.
