hey bro those babies are looking pretty good! I mean it seems like things got started off kinda screwy but as you can see these plants are quite resilient. Just make sure you got everything in order for flowering cause you don't want to stress them at all then. BTW maybe I missed it but what kind of lights are you gonna use for flowering?

So when are you going to start flower ?
I'm going to start flowering June 2nd when i get back from my trip. hopefully i will have my larger grow tent and carbon scrubber before that. my plants are starting to get much taller even from a few days ago i know by then they might be almost 2 feet tall based on how fast there growing.:shock: my current little greenhouse is only 3 feet tall.:-?

I'm trying to get a MH of at least 200 watts depending on my budget.:confused: These plants are very resilient i'm shocked that they took off the way they did from the brink of death seemingly.:shock: what are some of the things that would stress them at that point?

mh for flowering?! Why? You'd be much better off going with hps for flowering and if you're gonna do more than 2 plants go with a 250 watter at least. These plants love the spectrum an hps bulb emits and will produce thicker buds (much better yield). Apparently there are some old heads out there who like mh better and claim that their buds are more potent but I think most people would agree with me that hps is the way to go. In any case with an hps you could always throw a few 5xxx cfls in there if you really believe that there is a correlation between cooler lights and potency.

Ok bro Hps it is LOL:lol: I didnt know that there was any difference with MH and HPS lighting. If it's going to give me a bigger yield i'm all for it so I plan on getting.
1) Grow tent
2) HPS lighting
3) Carbon Scrubber

I have a question about carbon scrubbers does it double as air intake and exhaust?:???:

if you mean can you use it to suck dirty air in through it or push dirty air out through it then ye you can do it either way but its more efficient if you set it up to suck into it

You gotta have the scrubber hooked up with the exhaust fan so it can scrub the air before it is exhausted.
So basically the scrubber would be inside my grow tent???

So I would need a separate vent for air intake??

for air intake you dont need a carbon filter as the air is going into your grow area you only need to clean air leaving the grow area
however i would advise havin a peice of cloth or similar over your intak so as no bugs an shit can get in

Thanks for the comment bro I wasnt sure exactly when to go to flower but once my grow tent gets here i'm going straight to flowering because the tent is 62 inches tall soo i'll have more space for the stretch. I cant wait to see how many of my plants become females.

Sounds like you will be smoking some quality buds pretty soon bro.:blsmoke:
