well here's the 3 bag seeds vegging away. these were taken last night right after i watered them so they look a little droopy. they're perked right back up now but camera batteries are dead. once its charged ill get some new ones to show all the new growth. the lst is helping all the lower branches get a good amount of light. i'm loving it haha

picked up some Reflectix reflective insulation to try out in the veg box. was told by a buddy of mine that it works good. lined the walls and made a little ghetto reflector for the lights. we'll see how it works out. if it's good i'll pick up some more and line the flowering closet too. $8.99 for a 16"x25' roll. not bad price, especially if it works.

anyone have any insight on this stuff?
Reflectix, Inc
Lowe's website

alright on to the money shots.

sorry i haven't updated in a few days. been busy with work and the family and what not. no huge updates. the flowering bag seed i have is starting to swell. its getting bigger and smellier everyday. think i'm gonna try and find a microscope tomorrow. where can i get a cheap one? haha

so i got a question for whoever is out there paying attention lol. has anyone ever used a bathroom exhaust fan for an intake/exhaust on a tent? how did it work and how did you wire it up? and how many cfm's was it pushing?

will post pics shortly :lol:
