Evening everybody!!! Sorry I've been out of touch for a couple of days. I turned on my computer one evening, answered a PM from a friend, turned my back on the computer to look at something Mr wanted to show me on TV and when I turned back...blue screen. Took me two days to get it fixed. Grrrr.
Okay, back to Grandma's Grow Room!!!
First off, NEW STUFF!!! My 600w HPS/MH light arrived with XL wing reflector and cool tube. As you can see, I had my crew carefully inspect the packaging for damages. Everything appeared to be in order. All the CFL's came down and are packed away for some future use. All together, I had amassed 34 bulbs and fixtures of various sizes and colors.

Once I got everything put right, I put the girls into their new tanning salon.

Here are some shots of the girls in their new light.

These are the Vanilla Kush clones. They are still small, but filling out to be VERY bushy.
And the larger of the Strawberry Kiss clones. The smaller one is looking
very sad. She was fine until we moved everything around so Mr and I have decided that either one of us damaged her, or the cats did something because there is no visible reason why she suddenly got so sad. She is from the same plant and in the same soil as the tall healthy one.
Finally, I've decided that my soil mix is not good for seedlings. First the OG Kush shrivelled up and died. The next day, the Pineapple Chunk did the same. I usually let them stay in the rockwool a little longer than I did with these because I was over anxious, I guess. For whatever reason, they are listed among the casualties.

On a brighter note, at the time I got the light, I also got a small set of bubble bags. I didn't have a lot of trim and going forward, I will let it build up more before I have another go at it, but I just had to try it out, and my results were nice!
And, for anybody still reading at this point, I had a geniune scare tonight. My son's ex-wife decided it was time to shift over into full-blown bitch mode. So after she dropped his daughter off tonight, she called the police and said that my house smelled like weed and she was concerned for the welfare of her daughter. Bitch.
So they came knocking at my door this evening. However, I showed them my doctor's note, explained that my ex DIL was a bitch and that she knew full well that I had a legal recommendation. I told the LEO that I had had to call DHHS on her shiftless ass about a month ago and that this was her retaliation. He was very young (and I'm not) and seemed relieved to find just an old grandma, grandpa, daddy, pregnant girlfriend, toddler, and weird middle-aged single uncle having spaghetti dinner in front of the tube and not some drug-crazed maniacal idiots intent on mischief.
He thanked me for my cooperation and left without ever coming in the house. Then I shut the door and fell to pieces. Oh. My. God. I think I need Depends.
