Think I'm on like day 38ish of flowering.
Been having some battles with powder mildew, but it's looking like I'm going to win :).
I also got a new 200 gallon a day reverse osmosis system. I just need to get a 55 gal water drum. I have the air stones to keep the air in the water as well.

Also a sneak peak of my outdoors :).

Thanks sik sol, this is my first grow and I started off quite ghetto and still pretty ghetto myself lol.

My clone section used to be on top of milk crates, my mothers were on top of milk crates, and everything I was flowering was on milk crates.

I had to water each one with a coolaid picture ontop of a wired garbage can upside down to allow drainage.
Once it stopped draining I could put it back up on the milk crate 1 by 1.

But hell, If I didn't do it that way I wouldn't appreciate the tray I got not to long ago.

Makes life soooooooooo much easier.

And when I finally get that Reverse osmosis system I can stop buying 5 gallons from the water stand and just have my own filtered water.

Just got done installing my reverse osmosis system.

Soooooooooooo happy the water hauling has come to an end.
It's 200 gallons a day, and comes out quite fast.
Here are some pictures!

I just need to get a 55 gallon reservoir for the water and I will have 55 gallons of water ready at all times. :)

Went to Home Depot last night hoping they would have a 55 gallon water drum and they don't have what I was looking for. :(

Oh well, today's a new day and I will search for it again.

If worse case comes, I will just store the water in 5 gallon drums till I find a 55 gallon.

The only thing about the 55 gallon is I would have a flood valve and I wouldn't have to watch the water filling up, it would just stay at a certain level all the time.

Thanks for checking in everyone!

Found a 55 gallon drum for $35 bucks but it was a long drive away, so I ended up getting a 50 gallon $65 heavy duty garbage can with a lid from Home Depot.

Here is some pics, Finally! It's done. :)

I am only growing one right now but from all the information that I have gathered from other peoples grow journals and what people have said so far on my journal I could definitely do a big grow if I had the funds and space to do it in. You guys are awesome and when the Govt finally takes their heads out of eachother's asses they will realize that it's people like you guys who who make a Corporate Pot Growing Company boom, because you guys are constantly upgrading and doing things that make your plants yield more or grow bigger buds or whatever...Everyone on this site who has committed some time to do a grow from seed/clone to ingestion. Keep up the fuckin' amazing work!!!

The reverse osmosis clears out all the bad stuff and fixs the ph for me to what I need, because my hose ph is 8 lol.
The box said it does 200 gallons a day, but It filled that 50 gallon can in 30 mins, so 200 a day is nothing compared to what it's capable of.

My next step is to buy a water pump to throw in there and a tube so I can transfer water elsewhere.
Like a 5 gallon bucket so I can mix nutrients.

Right now I just siphon it with a tube.

Thanks everyone for checking in, I'll try to get some pictures of my outdoors plants tomorrow, they are little pretty nice.
Stupid weather is making me leave them under the patio though, because it keeps raining.

I can't wait to give them direct sunlight again!

For sure man!
Put some pictures of your entire setup as well if you want.
I just took some pictures of my outdoor setup for you guys so I'm uploading those from my cam as we speak, then I'll upload them here.

And I'm not getting the dehumidifier for awhile, it's just what I NEED next.

Thanks S1C.

I try to smoke as many joints outside as I can so I can admire their beauty. The Hindu Skunk is really a beautiful plant.
