Jokes aside , It's good to see a fire extinguisher , They are often overlooked by a lot of people.....Let's hope you only ever need it to hold a door open ...But you will be glad you have one if you do need it :)

looking good so far .... hurry up though ...i have a short attention span :)

Good Luck :)

okay, so i have got the Rock done, mud and paint as well. 3 coats of white paint. also added panda plastic to all 4 walls (not the ceiling). next is tonight, adding receptacles and covers. i had the walls prepared for Foam on the outside of the sheetrock so the receptacle boxes are out about a half inch from the wall. I decided to use small squares of foam around them to keep em tight. anyway, here are some pics.

Well I would get rid of your Advanced nutes right away... I tried them for a year in all combos and those nutes ( in my opinion ) are mediocre at best.. Using advanced my yields were 20-35% less then GH. That is just from me but I tried that line and almost everything they had and the only thing I found that I liked was Wet Betty plant penetrator for foliar feeding. Other then that General Hydroponics and Humboldt nutrients have them beat hands down. Here are a few pics of the grow.. You like it then rep it :P Also I found that using tape and painters plastic has a tendency to seperate from the tape sometimes and let light leaks in so be careful of that.

hmm.. well the room is light proof before i put up the panda plastic. also, i stapled up the PP prior to taping it. that way when the tape gets warm, there is no strain on it. Also, i am using AN in my current grow, and my friend is running GH nutes, one week behind me, on the same strains. My ladies are doing ALOT better, and i went into flower a week earlier. other than the nutes and the vegging time everything is virtually the same.

To be honest I really do like AN for Veg more then GH but when it comes to flowering it is reversed. I do not like AN only because it seems like their flowering recipes do not bring the yield I get from GH but in Veg AN out performs GH for sure even though it sucks to say it because I do not like AN they have GH beat for veg. I loved the 2 part Grow A & B. But remember if you are a week ahead that is a lot more root growth to uptake nutes also but side by side AN has the advantage in Veg only from experience. ( that hurt to say lol ) also you said all was the same? Both using reverse osmosis water and Phing to same?
