Looking great
On a topic you mention earlier, ro water and cal mag. Did you add dolomite to your soil? Do you add molasses? The reason I ask is because when I mixed my soil I was quite liberal with the lime and also I add blackstrap molasses to the water both of which supplement cal and mag. I am of the thinking that this along with the Dynagro which I use in conjunction with Jack's will supply the cal mag needed as I need to watch out for cal block you know? Just want your take and thoughts as you have gone through that.

Hey illumination, Thanks for the compliments.
The soil I use has some lime in it but I don't think it is enough. I bought some of the Espoma(spelling?) garden lime to add to the next batch of soil I make. I am going to use it for the PK x's I have going now. I am going to add a nice heavy tsp per gallon when I mix it up. I also think some of my problem was to little N2 for them. Switched to the foliage pro from Dyna-Gro and the seem to be doing way better. I also got my Pro-teKt with silica so that should help with their nute intake. I also have some Cal/Mag from cutting edge solutions that I received as sample's so I am going to make up a fol-liar spray to use if needed.
On a side note. I added another 65w 2700k bulb from Lowe's(16.98+ tx). I love these bulb's because they are 4200 lumen's so the give better penetration. I think I needed it because I am running four plants this time and I want one over each of the girls. So this brings the total of watts to 508w. Here is what is in there now.
2ea. 65w 2700k= 130w(Lowe's)
1ea. 68w 2700k= 68w(Home Cheapo)
7ea. 23w 2700k= 161w(Home Cheapo Contractors Pac)
3ea. 23w 6500K= 69w(Lowe's)
1ea. 40w 3500k= 40w(Lowe's)
1ea. 40w 5000K= 40w(Lowe's)
I plan on adding one more 68w to the box and that will do it. Give me a total of 553w. This way I will have each plant under its own 65w. Now I know you guys are thinking, why not just buy a 400/600w and be done with it? Well when I first read that you can grow a plant under cfl's and it will produce some good smoke, I gotta say I thought "bullshit". So I did some more reading and thought I can do this! The wife is not sure about the whole deal yet and after the first grow I do not blame her. Well she wasn't letting loose of the purse strings to make that big of an investment until I can prove I can grow killer plant under what I have already. It was easier to get $20 from her than $200. Well I finish number 2/3 grow and I am so happy the girls turned out the way they did!!! She asked and I gave it to her as you have seen from the thread that my 2 girls turned out to be some awesome smoke. They could have been better but what the hell, I'm still learning.
So now the good news is she gave me the go ahead for the new space! Not a box this time but an actual area. It will probably be more like an over sized closet with different chambers built into it for different stages. I plan on the overall being 5'D x 8'W x 8'H. The flowering area will be 5x5x8 with a table built for the girls so I can roll it out to water and rotate them around easier. The table will be lined so I can make it rain on em in place and it will drain into a Gal bucket. The other remaining 3' will be divide into the remaining chambers for clones and veg. Not exactly sure how they will be divided but I bet I will figure it out. I will be using the cfls for veg and I am going to buy the 400w CMH for my flower bulb. Whooohooo! Man I can't wait. I plan on starting around the end of this month and will start a thread when I do.
Enough Rambling!
Peace

Couple pics of the PK's. Man are the growing fast. Pic 1 is today and pic 2 is yesterday.
