Unfortunately no pics of the plants, but they are at 2 ft now give or take 4 inches in difference between them. I'm now in my new location and I should be getting busy with building the tent very soon. Bought a bunch of goodies from HTGSUPPLY check them out.


To keep the tent cool

150'

6'' 424CFM

can 33 carbon filter

I'm going to build a tent out of 2x4s and I'm not sure what the hell to do for the rest of the ventilation. Above my new shower is a passive fan so I assume they got some fans in there blowing everyones hot air to the sky? Or what else would be going on? So It may be an option to do this, but I am still paranoid someone would be inspecting the addict and they would be able to notice the large air flow. With my 424cfm 6'' fan you think I could vent through the tent..then back through the reflector? I have one window to use. With the tent being carbon filtered and all I think I may just end up running an AC in the window. The room is rather large so it should be a big enough buffer to keep the air moving. I'm not sure what size I'm going to build the tent yet, but I'm worried about the 2 ft plants blowing up on the light flip.

I'll try and get some pics of the plants soon for everyone!

Please keep us updated on the Trainwreck, I started mine about 10 weeks ago and they are short but really stumpy and wide, they look good just short, they where inside first 4 weeks now outside but first time with this strain and was wondering if yours are short and stubby or? Nice start, and you have some great strains you started with, Good luck in your Garden!

Construction has begun on the tent, but I'm waiting for a new drill. It is going to be 4 x 8 x 8 with 4x5.5 for flower and 4x3.5 for veg.. give or take a half foot or so. Not sure if I wana try passive intake ducted through veg then flower..then through the reflector and then finally to the can 33 filter and out into the room. I plugged the fan in and wow! really loud without ducting attached. The can filter is a lot heavier then I had anticipated, but that is why the tent is made out of 2x4s so it should be able to handle it. Just waiting to get the room put together and then I'll flip to 12/12! They haven't been taken care of as well lately because their temporary care giver doesn't check on them when they need water often enough. They really start to limp a great deal, but recovered quickly. There are some bottom 5 fingered leaves falling off and a little bit of nute burn here and there. Three of the tops of the plants have been burned by the T5, that'll learn em! When I first started the grow I was so impatience, but now I don't have enough time in the day! Plants are ~18''-30''

I figured out how pretty much everything will need to be setup and I'll post pictures when it is finished. Picked up more supplies today FF Big Bloom FF Tiger Bloom FF Open Sesame pH Up Solution 6''x25ft flexible duct tubing Stuff I still need... FF Beastie Bloomz FF Cha Ching Real pH meter/EC Meter I need to find out if I can get away with using my tap water because I've been using Walmart distilled the whole way through thus far. The plants are hanging in there and they just be chilling sideways :)

I have few minutes here before I have to get to class so... bongsmilie and an update with my grow.

There are two other people involved with my grow who mostly have been financing me. Hence, the nice equipment. A 'friend's' location was used over the summer and we knew we would have to have them moved before his room mate returned. The problem was the tent simply was not ready to my security standards. Them inline blowers are loud and make lots of vibration! A have a solid state fan controller in the mail ;) I want everything planned and orderly because not even weed is more important then my freedom and future. I took 4 of the plants to a guerrilla grow spot I picked out. I still don't know what happened to MY other babies :( Two of the plants got accidentally super cropped on the move. I checked up on them Saturday night and they where looking TERRIBLE! :x I don't know if they are going to make it. They are still in the 1 gallon bags and I put 1/2 gallon of water through them when I last saw them. If they come back from the dead I will put them in 5 gallon buckets or dig a hole and supplement it. I already have a bale of pro-mix to use.

I'm very sad about the loss, but then I remembered how much I had learned and how much I enjoy this hobby. :mrgreen: I never did top any of the plants and after researching 150W HPS Micro Grows on ICMAG I know that I either want to top the hell out of them or plan and cloning a small army. Read those great threads! I promise you'll learn so much. I'm going to be making another run with the same beans provided that I feel safe.

Take care everyone and be safe!:peace::joint::mrgreen:

also: I have been becoming more aware of my saftey after what happened with coupe and peacenluv. I was on the teetor-tator to decidide to let the plants in and i'm glad you guys did the right thing too.
