Wat up people? So this is my first official journal. I ordered some pineapple express fem'd seeds and some train wreck fem's seeds and decided to have a go at it. Here's where I stand as of now: Mothers day, 2010, 1 seed of each strain popped its head out and got put into 16oz party cups with MG soil and perlite. About a 3-1 ratio. This grow will be a cardboard box CFL grow. Dun dun dun... I know! I know! Cardboard= fire hazard. Luckily I've used this method a few times with no fire or water damage. I do not discourage this if your on a budget. Nutrients: General Hydroponics Grow/Bloom.

DAY 7 UPDATES!
Day 7 they began their feeding and got put into one of the most ghetto boxes I've seen. Pretty much no ventilation and a 4" circulation fan. Temps are a steady 78 during the day and 74 at night. I open the door a couple times a day for fresh air. My flower box is under construction. When these girls are 2.5' tall I'll take 5-8 clones from each. For now here are some pics.

DAY 11 UPDATES:

So my pineapple express is looking amazing. Huge leaves, she dwarfs the train wreck. Still feeding at 1/4 strength. The train wreck isn't looking too shabby herself. Just a little smaller, possibly a little over watered.
PICS!!

So after week 2 of veg for my TW I decided to flower her and get a small yield of sample-able smoke. The PE is doing good, at day 19 she got some taken off the top aka got decapitated. The TW stands about 4" tall and the PE is about 6". Nutes for TW are 1/2 strength 1 veg - 2 bloom, On the PE I'm goin 3/4 strength veg and using a nute-nute-water feeding schedule. Here are some Pics.

Ok, so it's 1 am here and I just got back from a night of drinking. Took a late night peek at my Train Wreck to see if everything was alright and I noticed that my temperatures range from 76-95. I'm running 2 80mm pc fans, one for exhaust and on for intake. For my lights, there are 2- 40w and 2- 42w cfl both 2700k. The box I'm flowering in is a wardrobe box from uhaul I bought for `13 bucks, it's about 2'x2'x4.5'.
So, now all the details are down, here's my issues:
1) Can I add 1 more fan for intake or exhaust? Or should I add 1 of each? I've harvested about a half of some random kush seed I had at a steady 93 degree room when lights were on. But that was in an open closet with literally nothing but a pot with a plant in it and 252 watts of cfl lights.
2) Will it make that big of a difference? I'm guessing if it does it will be in quality? Not quantity? But I'm all about quality (it's personal), but quantity is always nice.
3) Got any ideas on duct work? I don't really trust my light traps.
