The cabinet. Vented with pc fans, I plan on adding a carbon filter within the next few weeks. Currently the box runs at about 78 with the lights on, I plan on adding some intake fans in the near future, before I add more lights. I currently light with 6 42 W 2500k CFL's. I am adding an additional 3 lights as soon as they come in. This is only my second grow and I am open to hear any advice. Feel free to comment on my journal.

Since this is only my second grow, I am not totally sure what size my plants should be at this point ~4weeks. Here are the latest snapshots.

The plants both grew 3 inches taller last night. I am almost having to raise the lights twice a day now. I guess I could be having worse problems. Next grow I will have to start flowering earlier. At this rate they might get too wide to fit in the box.

Temperature at the end of the day. I am very happy with my ventilation. "Outdoor" temperature is the temp inside the cabinet.

I need a better camera, sorry the resolution is so poor.
Looking Good, think they both may be showing female signs. I will know tomorrow for sure.

Watered with 1 gal of distilled water today. Both plants are girls!!! Revamped my cabinet today also. I re-sized my lighting ballast and added another light socket into the middle. I also replaced the space blanket with the more professional looking 99.9% reflective(heat, and light) insulation. I will be installing the carbon filter this weekend when 10 more 90mm PC fans come in.

how old were your girls when you started the 12/12 cycle?

if you buy magnifying glass, maybe 4-8 inch diameter, you can take the pics through that and it will make a big difference.

Hey thanks!

I don't want to bother you, but how big are your pots?
