Ok I hope this is how you start a journal. Well i started the grow 2 weeks ago. Then the dwc tipped over do to my stupidity. I had a box under it to move it closer to the light, added too much water and the box weekend. So I started a new one four days ago. Its going great, but i am new so here is my setup.

I have a 5 gallon tote that 4 gallons of water goes in with 4 plants. There was a 4 foot flro 2 light in this house when I moved here so I just unhooked it and moved it to my room (I also have 3/ 3 gallon buckets under same light with 3 plants in each there in dirt though). i dont know the spects of light and plan on getting cfl this week.

I only have sorry ass miracle grow but will be going to get proper nutes next week here are some pics and some questions I have, and if anyone has any advice for me to the look of my plants please help.

1- what cfl could i get, I am on a budget?( i know how to build a fixture)
2- I bought a couple of mylar blankets from wal-mart cut and taped to card board and have placed around my plants is this good or bad?
3-what a good cheap nute to use?
4-will this system hold 4 plants all the till harvest time? ( if all are female)

Also i have a different area for flowering with no light leaks.

I have one lemon kush (fingers crossed) and the rest are seeds from my dad ( but he always has good weed). No names so i will make up names later lol.

here's the pics:weed:
:cry: Oh man went to go take the pictures and notice some white stuff on my hydrotone help please

I also put a fan in today. I am still worried that the plants will get to big for the dwc set up. I don't have the funds right now to buy or build anything bigger. Is there a way to keep the plants small and still get good weight out of them, and harvest just as quick.
