I am going to be doing another grow here this one being perpetual at the moment. I am going to bed in a few minutes so I am going to be basic and quick and will provide more info later.

A setup of 10 in a small closet with 220 Watts of energy efficient LED and CFL lights (mainly LEDs). A small fan lays above the ladies on the top rack to provide some air flow circulation. I am buying more LEDs tomorrow, hoping to get at least 60 more Watts in there for the time being. Here are some pictures taken within the last couple days up until today. Follow along and enjoy! :)

I gave them a watering a few days ago with a shot of nutrients since it has been about 3 weeks since I fed them plus at the time they soil was extremely dry and one of them were just starting to wilt. They are starting to look alot nicer though now.. I work full time and I have a hectic life and the last few weeks had me a bit worn down and lazy from being drained which caused me to get a little careless and forgetful of the ladies, but all is well now.

Just transplanted the Delicious Candy and Budzilla into their final pots as I am getting ready to switch to over to 12/12. :) I had to fuck around with the hanging lights and adjust the heights etc. From transplanting into bigger pots. I'm planning on putting an additional 400W HPS setup inside there, any takes on that?

FIM working it's magic, I transplanted another one or two of the ladies but I have one more to transplant into its final pot which I will do today. The new generations which are from my recent harvest from a month ago have germinated and have been planted into their new homes, the genetics of these seeds are AK48 being from the male and possibly female too or the female may have been from the Delicious Candy strain, lost track of that so I am unsure lol... I will be taking more photos of the progress today when I return home from running errands but here is a photo of the new generation seedlings.

72 more Watts have been added to the room (54 flowering, 18 veg). The Delicious Candy (1st and 2nd pic) is showing some kind of stress issue, I'm thinking light burn from LEDs or could possibly be a transplant issue such as shock. I did use a bit of dolomite lime in the soil and some super thrive when it was time to water. The new generation seedlings have been planted. It's almost time to flip to 12/12 but two more need to go into their final containers and I am short on one until payday which isnt until another week so I will have to wait until then unless I can get a hold of one before then, until then the lights will be running 24/0.

There is still one more left to transplant into their final pot.. I am trying to improvise here and figure something out while continuously zoning out hardcore letting my imagination wonder happily which is making it hard for me at the moment, but I have no room to put this one back up on the rack with the other ladies so it is just sitting on the ground for now... And I still have one more left to transplant... Stay toked my friends, have a wonderful night

I went a little heavy on the feeding 3 days ago as I can tell some of the plants are showing signs of some nutrient lockout or a nutrient burn... Just can't pinpoint it, so I'm going to be flushing one of them that is taking a good hit from it. When I fed them I transplanted a few of them into their final pots (including the one I am going to flush here momentarily) and fed the soil with additives and a dose of liquid nutes. I have a few ideas in mind, what about anyone else here??? Thanks for any input, constructive criticism welcome lol.

Update: 8th day of flowering, everything is looking pretty great. The FIM growth is coming in fairly nice for a few of them especially the one in the last picture! I will have to reposition the tie downs in the morning when they awake at 7. Tomorrow I will be transferring these ladies into a bigger better space covering a whole room in mylar. I finished cleaning and sanitizing the room and getting ready to finish it with mylar walls.

I am going to divide the room into two for precautions Incase I have the move plants or separate males if any of them switch/Hermie. The small plant is a new generation 2nd gen AK48 from a seed I obtained while breaking up some dank.

Finished the room just in time before the plants went to sleep. Will wake up in the morning when the plants wake up to finish the rest of the job of hanging the lights and fixing up little touch ups and tweak it up.

This is what the room looks like empty. I will show pictures sometime during the day tomorrow showing the before, during and after progress. ;)

A friend gave me a 135 watt Apollo LED full spectrum grow light to borrow for now (he is letting me keep it for some green in return after it's finished :)) I am moving the whole entire thing into a new room and completely outline the room in mylar again which will be my project for today. The room it's going in is far too large so I will be making a cardboard box room within the room outlined with mylar to further concentrate the light more efficiently. Off I go!

Will provide pictures of the new light along with the new room setup and grow progress later on.

Huge update! Had to move into a new room once again due to electrical wiring system problems. Everything is complete! Such a pain in the ass to move everything once again. The new room is approximately 4x4x10. I'm working with roughly 450 watts of LEDs :) 4th week of flowering has begun! 5-6 weeks more to go. I tried to make use of the mylar from the last room but it was too much labor and the mylar kept wrinkling and tearing as I was trying to save it. I ran out of tape putting up mylar in the new room so I'll fill the rest of the room in when I get around to it within the next day or so. Still have to transplant the orange pots which I will try to do today. Here are all the photos of progress from tear down to completing the new room and setup.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas holiday! Merry Christmas everyone and a happy New Year's!

I just purchased a 1000-Watt LED grow light! The light is a C-2 Sunnineled 953.

Link to the grow light - http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-1000W-LED-Panel-Grow-Light-System-Full-Spectrum-For-Plant-Replace-HPS-Lamp-/152368981971?nma=true&si=4asD5JqQiRF1vI8ONU1aRacZR4Q%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I am expecting the light to arrive by next Wednesday. I can't wait to get this bad boy fired up over my ladies!

Another thing, I have a plant that just sexed revealing itself as a male (4 weeks old). It's a seed I obtained from my AK48 while breaking up bud from my last grow. The pollen sacks are developing nicely and I plan to keep it in there until they open up and release some pollen as I want some seeds to collect for another future grow. This will be my last grow for a while as I am getting ready to move out of my house here within the next couple months. I hope to have this grow finished by early February which hopefully gives me a harvest at around the 9th or 10th week. I cannot take pictures right now as the plants are asleep in their dark phase.
