Very first grow ever.

Lights:
1 600W HPS in a 6" LumeCool reflector
1 24" 24W SunBlaster t5 (t5 is for flowering, need at least 1 more)

I have a fixed light position, and it has been at 35" from the top of the grow medium the entire grow.

Method:
Micro Garden 10 gal ebb and flow, using 5" pots. I am using standard aquarium stone for my medium. (I didnt like the bag medium the kit came with)

Ladies:
2 BigBud clones
2 Northern Lights clones

Nutrients:
Holland Secret Micro, Grow and Bloom. ( I have a photo of my Nute chart in the album and covers all nutes listed here)
Super "B+" (0-2-1)
"Sparkles" all natural carbs. (manufacturer states that this product will double or triple the production of oils in any plant that produces oil)
TonOBud (0-49-32)
Plan on using "Heavies" when it is time

Ventilation:
6" Can Fan: 270cfm, controlled by the "Speedster"
4" Elf Carbon Filter
Air Flow=> under the closet door (transition to closet painted black), through the filter, across the light, through the fan, and exhausted in my attic. keeps the area between 70 and 81 degrees

I am currently at the end of my second week of flowering

that looks like every thing but you should post a few pics on here for people to see cause those are some nice lookin plants

yay your poped your cherry and seem to be a great set up to me

Sounds good except for the fixed light position, you needed to have your t5 as close to the plants as possible. I can only image that your plants stretched quiet a bit before you ever had a chance to use your hps, which by the way should also be as low as possible without burning the tops of your plants.

First grow pics ar in my album.

I didnt really notice a lot of stretch, The average distance between nodes was about 1 1|2". I Honestly expected more, but as luck would have it they seem to be fine.

Sorry for the sideways pics.
