Thanks! It is exciting to watch everything change almost daily. The other plants in my tent are basil, which I use for experiments and practice....plus its great on sandwiches and salads....and if you look in the back you'll see a pine apple, which is finally showing new growth. My tent is pretty good sized and I could probably get one more plant started in there.

As the guys have said, nice job dude. My first grow was with fluorescents as well. Not as nice as your T5's tho I was slumming with a mix of cool and warm CFL's. Iv since "seen the light" and upgraded. Now im rockin an HPS with red spec LED's as supplement. Keep up the good work!

Thank You! I think T5's are somewhat underestimated. I know they don't have the output as HPS....and I knew that going into the grow, plus I'm on a buget. So, I practiced on herbs and veggies, indoor and outdoor for a year before I even attempted this grow.

Like everyone said your doing a great job! I would highly suggest tho letting them go longer then 14 more days. From the looks of it, more like 21-35 more days man. The biggest suggestion I can give you is to go to radio shack and buy a microscope if you don't already have one. Look at the Trichs and make sure they are majority milky/amber.

Most suggested flower times are that, suggested. Make sure you always look yourself before you chop, and make sure your buds are nice and dense.
Good luck, happy growing. bongsmilie

These are at day 46 of flower (12/12)...and still got at least 3-4 more weeksIMG_2947.jpg

Thanks for the info. One thing to keep in mind about Snowryder is, it's an auto-flowering strain and not photoperiod. If you have a moment look at the other photos I posted. I know they are not ready...yet....however I think it will be soon....when its time the plants always will let us know.

Oh...nice plant by the way.
