hmmmm...might be a good idea to get a thermometer in there, huh? I figured that being in a basement dwelling with my dehumidifier running at 50% and feels like a comfy 72ish...doesnt feel "hot" when i put my hand under the light at the canopy...figures, I was at Target today and all their gardening supplies are marked 40% off and there was a nice digi thermometer/humidity gauge for like 9 bucks...I actually picked it up and held it, and decided that I didnt really need it...dammit

fuck yah you need it.... digis are the best..i had the same problem man.. didnt feel hot but leaves were curling at the tips, starting at the top working its way down the plant. that and yellowing starting at the tip of the leaf, unlike nute burn which tends to start at the stem part of leaf and works it way out, this is a classic heat stress signature...

Don't kiss Santa's ass...LoL...you work hard bustin' your ass doin' what you have to do...Treat yourself to bubbleponic system if you want to...you deserved it...IMO...
Also, you can make your own bubbleponic system with ease like the ones they sell on Ebay for wicked cheap. Drip or DWC...I wanna try out my hands in a homemade mini DWC setup like the "Water Farm" set up...
I have some "assosciates" that are lined up to sample my cheese grow...with that earned income, I'll upgrade my indoor lighting setup and go hydro...

I agree...bubbleponics makes for a nice cloning habitat...how's it do with seed?

That was just a sample of my outdoor...I've got a ways to go before my indoor is ready...
The sample weighed at 3.1 grams dried and sold it to my neighbor...
I'll post pics of my indoor at somepoint today...

I went to my local garden/nursery center and picked up some Rootone cloning powder and took two clones off of my outdoor swiss cheese. I'm going to force them back into re-veg and grow two girls hopefully. I put them in my grow cabinet under 2 100 watt 6500k daylight bulbs...1 I stuck into my Aerogarden to see how she does and 1 I put into a soil-less mix of 50/50 perlite/vermiculite 4" pot...It'll be a coupla weeks before they show signs of rooting...hopefully this experiment works...I like my Swiss Cheese strain. I'll post pics soon....

Hey guys....I went to the plant problems section and read up on prognosis and problems...
I think I may have over nuted my baby...her leaf tips are curling downward...I raised my light further away, and I flushed the container with pH'd water. Should I flush again? What do I do?

So I brought my 12/12 from seed girl outside to bask in the warm September sun...I wanted the soil to dry out since the flush...she took to it very nicely and the leaves are starting to uncurl and fill in nicely now. I pruned the large shade leaves off the main stem, so now alls I have is the shoots growing verticle on a horizontal stem...LST'ing is working nicely...small, compact plant, which is nice for my indoor op...I gotta get the pics up...sorry to keep you guys hanging, but I promise I'll get them up...
She is showing female preflowers now! Sprouted 8-19-09 showed sex on 9-13-09...my next watering, I'm going to add 1 tsp. Fox Farms Grow Big...I've used this in the past with some outstanding results...I have a 7' tall Cheese outside to prove it...!
