so...half way through building the flower room took some pics...I am using 1 600 and 2 400 all hps, setting it up in the greenhouse inside the barn....the temps are still well below freezing so I had to break down and buy a heater and 4 sheets of insulation...I lucked out and found stuff with reflective surface for like $17 a sheet...also had to buy some missc hardware....all and all this room is preety pricey at around $300....its good to have lights to spare....LOL

...well I'm gonna flower the hybreads and already killed the male, EVERYTHING has been fed , the freshly flowering plants were fed accordingly , I used Humboldt nutrients natural Grow and Bloom 10 ml /gallon, prozime at 10 ml/gallon, flaywerfull and HN honey at 5ml/gallon, I have also added some roots organic freebee....there are some issues with the firt I use, I got it onsale with the gallon jug first, but I believe due to freezing the copper compounds jelled up at the bottom of the gallon jug...It was onsale though, by alot!So I ended up bringin it back and changin it for a bunch of little ones, they I belive were also frozen, but the size is more workble and I try to always get a little chunk out to keep the fert somewhat ballanced...I want to change the name of my journal thread to 'the art of growing cheaply!"...LOL, but serriously, maybe getting my firts shipped dirrectly from the HN worth looking into...I have taken the last batch of clones of off Deisel and The Amazing haze moms and they now joined my mid January clones in flower room....I have transplanted half of my febuary clones and mouved the transplanted half to the veg room the rest remain in mama baby room till I wire another light for the veg room since I'm using the 600 with HPS bulb to flower....The lights runing at the moment:8 bulb t-5 for mamas baby room, one HPS/MH Hybread (homemade) 250W /each, flower rooom 2 400W HPS +1 600HPS...I need to make another 250 Hybread for Veg room ASAP ...andf please folks, feel free to comment and advise, while there are no promises as far as using advice , its always good to read...how do I change a name of this thread?

Things are lookin really good. I like your mom, she's real pretty. It sounds like we bought the same insulation, but I dont have anything close to the low exterior temp you do. I'm more worried about the HOT summer. Subbed and will be following along
