Yes. My goal is to use nothing but T5 light and Organic methods. I have already found that with a lot of research on organics, I can negate a lot of disease and pest problems, and the T5's keep the room in the mid 70's so it works...I have 8 Red T5's ready to go around the 15th...

After 4 weeks of growth I am pleased with the results.
I have the strains, the equipment, the knowledge and the motivation. Now we'll see if it works in real time!
PH 6.0
Humidity 61%
Temp 73.9
Flushing once a week with all fertilizers EXCEPT for BioThrive Grow and BioRoot which I water with in between flushes...
Burned the crap out of the Le Fruits with a foliar. I looked at my watch and thought 3 hours had gone by...It hadn't obviously...
They were pissed for a day, then new foliage emerged. We've put this behind us and have agreed to move forward!

Gorgeous looking plants. I'm planning on doing my first grow with cfls soon. I'm going to be using 4 23w 6500k/5500k for vegging and 4 23w 2700k for flowering on two plants every two months.
I'd like some advice from you on nutrients, and growing mediums, watering methods, etc. Thanks!

They are still growing. You can really see the burn I imposed
Still in vegetative for now...Going to flower in 2 weeks.
PH 6.1
HUMIDITY 63%
Temp 69.9 F
They look kind of sad because they were just watered and got a foliar spa treatment
Decided to FIM the SATIVA and keep her...I don't know though...even with bending I think she'll be thin
Let me know what you think... Maybe +REP?
Also, any questions you have about your grow are welcome as well!

Mine came to $313 after shipping, if I remember correctly. Just 4 each blue & red, one hood. Where'd you get your deal?!
Mine was the best deal I could find at the time, and I was happy with it... now I'm feeling gypped! lolWait... is yours 4' long, or 2' long? Mine is four. Could that be the price difference?

Thanks, Afraw. 
Unfortunately I'm housebound, so my shopping is done online. Not much relationship building probability there. 
BTW, those babies sure perked up quickly. They're looking mighty lovely.

At this time, I've only got my hubby, and he already works three jobs (actually, four, when counting the Natl Guard) and runs all the household errands such as grocery shopping and folds/hangs most of the laundry... he's exhausted enough as it is. My son and daughter-in-law are moving back in soon though (they're having a baby, and you know the current economy: 'nuff said? lol), and he'll have more time & opportunity for these types of errands. We're also moving in a couple/few weeks, so I'll need to find out what kind (if any) of garden supply is in the new & smaller town.
Aside from replacement bulbs, soil, etc., I don't plan at this time to get a lot more for my grow room. Though probably another light fixture, but that will have to be down the road anyhow... economy again!
I really don't need much more though. There's a lot I'd like to get, but don't necessarily need.
Oh yeah, after we move, I'm going to be looking into home care services. Supposedly I'm qualified; we'll see. If that pans out, I'll get a lot more help around the house (taking a load off of hubby's shoulders) as well as someone to run errands and/or take me out on my "better" days. Monetary compensation always seems to get more assistance out of people, doesn't it seem? (Not that I can blame anyone!)
Love that one!

Still haven't flowered yet...
They grow BIGGER!

Apparently the "Le Fruit Defendu" prefers a more alkaline soil!
I've adjusted a bit and it's returning to normal. (Not the burns, but the yellowing)
I have to say the genetics are incredible
I've kicked the shit out of them and they still keep going

But have you switched to 12/12? If yes, exactly when? And one more question: how tall does your indica plants measure at this stage?
Nice plants man! Gonna be a good grow looks like.
