:clap: So here it is, my first journal . Hopefully i can do it right and not disappoint the fine community of RIU. Here's the rundown.

2 grow boxes, 2x2x4.
almost 200w of cfl's each. (like 190)
bagseed (first disappointment)
expecting to have about 40 females. still sexing
half are 12/12 from seed with the other half having a short veg time. except for the re-vegged girl
synthetic nutrients. nothing fancy, miracle grow and some orchid food. a little bit of calcium and magnesium here and there. and a splash of superthrive.
oh, almost forgot the unicorn urine and dark matter

here's some pics to tie you over, ill take some more tonight when the lights come on

these are the boxes. got some tropicana up there for scale. hardwired the lights with some basic shit from lowes. pretty cheap. lights are tied into the junction box on top and the single cord goes straight into the timer. got a cheap wal-mart fan i slapped in there up top. passive intake in the bottom.

im calling this box #1. all of these are 12/12 from seed and are about 2 weeks old. once sexed the females are gonna be transplanted into 1/2 gallon containers. (the tropicana jugs) who says you cant grow in cardboard!

This is box #2
the plants on the left have been sexed. the big one in the back is the re-vegged girl. the ones in the creamer jugs had a 3 week veg (i think) and the rest haven't been sexed yet. once everything is sexed and put into the 1/2 gal jugs it should look a lot cleaner. it's around 70 plants altogether so its a little cluttered. im expected everything to be sexed in the next couple of weeks. good luck to me!

holy crap that is going to be A LOT of bud right there :) it's still so weird to me seeing them flower when they are just little babies.

yea i hope it produces a decent amount. the 12/12 from seed makes me a little nervous but i did that because i gotta shut down for the summer because of heat issues and the a/c KILLED me last summer. i only need like 4.5 grams per plant to get 8 zips. guess we'll see how it turns out, thanks for stopping by.

has anyone tried adding peroxide to their h2o before watering? i've been adding about 1 drop per 2oz of water and my roots seem to be loving it! anybody heard of any negative effects? not an organic grow by the way. i know h2o2 will murder organic soil life

I've heard about a tsp per gal of water can help the roots quite a bit :) I'm not sure if I wanna start now though...lol!

thanks dsb. yea cali. you've got some healthy plants in that closet of yours. i'd be careful introducing new techniques halfway thru flower. but on the little ones i got, so far so good. pics tonite maybe, nothing special happening just some new growth and a whole lot of stretching :cuss:. thanks for stopping by cali, it's always a pleasure

so here's my update without much update. seedlings still haven't sexed but they're getting close. the ones already flowering starting to show some buds, nothing too special though.

here's a pic of some roots using peroxide with my water. wanted to be able to check on the roots from time to time thats why i got the clear cups. i meant to get some colored ones to drop the clear ones into but never got around to it. they look healthy to me though. a lot healthier than when i didnt use the peroxide
