Got my address confirmation from grasshopper last week, are you liking it after having it for a while now?
Haha, so I like the Grasshopper and have no complaints, but lately I've been smoking again......... I haven't used it for a few weeks O_O. it's just simpler than messing with batteries.

How's The Sound Proofing Working Out For You :hump:
Good! It's pretty quiet!

Well guys, 2 GrinLife seeds are in the wet paper towel bongsmilie Gotta stop by tomorrow to HD and get a few more things but we're getting this show on the road! Only 12 weeks to buds..............12/12 from seed + 7mins 730nm at lights out.

I've got a lot of light in there: 3 72V CXB3590's: two 3000K at 1.04A, and a 2700K at 1.4A. I'm thinking to swap the 2700 for a 5000K, as I like more of a mix of colors, but we'll see how this first run goes:)

The plan is to get the mini-fridge running again for a veg box....the goal is to start a couple in veg in two months.......we'll see........

Hi RIU peoples, I hope you all are doing well:)

The original plan was for two girls, and I germinated two seeds...but they were slow to come out of the dirt. I figured I'd say screw it and start two new girls, and I did, but when I put them in the ground I saw that one of the two original seeds did finally sprout! So, here we are with three bastard children GrinLife seedlings:

Gonna hook up the blumats very soon!

Hello RIU peoples, the weekend is almost here :) The three girls (hopefully) are still coming along...two are topped and the third will be topped tomorrow. I accidentally got a little carried away and damaged one of the plants when i topped it( I was being lazy and instead of grabbing the micro-scissors, and I just tried to pinch it), but it is growing really quickly....I hope it's not a male. I have the lighting on 16/8 +5 mins 730nm, but I'm going to be switching to 12/12 + 5mins 730 nm on Monday. Normally I would do the 13/11, but I want it to go fast as possible, idk if this will help but that's what I'm trying :) I took out the 2700K 3590 and put in one of my 5000K 3070s, so now we have about 200W of lighting total with 3:1::3000K:5000K ratio.

They're growing fast:

Looking good bro. Always enjoy watching you do your thing. The 3000k + 5000k is a good combo. How much vertical space are they going to have? Might be the pic but looks like you can't raise the lights much higher?
Thanks man:) Yeah, it seems similar to what I had with the IG200. So it looks cramped, but I can actually raise the lights about another foot, so I think I could handle 3ft plants if I had to do it. I was going to do some heavy bending though to try to keep them short and wide.
