good i think, pH is balanced all the time, temps are dramatically colder now tho.. water usually around 55-64F air being around 60-65, this too cold?

yeah i added a few bolts tied to a twistie tie and a small metal bead link, bringing the two tallest tops down about 1 inch below the T5. i think they might be males tho, i see a few balls but i think its too soon to sex them, they might turn into female pods i think. theyre fucking tiny right now...

hows the full spectrum turning out? i was thinking about adding maybe 3-4 6500k 26watt CFL's near the bottom, but it seemed like a hassle.

im day 8 in flower, ill post pics next sunday when there is more to show you.

p.s.
i got 3 seeds sprouted now about 1.5" tall in a small humidome outside the box, under 4 6500k 26watt CFLs. and roots are showing at the bottom of all the cubes, what the hell should i do with these in the meantime that im flowering??

just put em in dixie cups? also two sprouts and the clone show a bit of a brown to white discoloration on the leaves, would this be a heat indicator? or lack of nutes?

transplanted the clones into presoaked rockwool cubes with Thrive Alive B-1 Red, 12.5 ml in 1 gallon water, pH about 5.5-5.8

this solution is 1-1-1 and .99% Vitamin B-1

there is now a total of 3 sprouts and 5 clones in my humidome. 4 of those clones being the ones i just transplanted today.

well see if they make it here in the next week or so.

OH and i put all sprouts/clones rockwool into dixie cups.

I'm thinking of constructing another DWC here soon, so i can be vegging same time i am flowering and just trade them out once i harvest. ;)

instead of building that other DWC, my other grow buddy was telling me i should just put these cubes inside larger cubes and try to keep the roots inside the cube, then when i do transplant them, they BOOM. pics coming soon.....

one was male for sure, so i trashed him two days ago, and added two 65watt (300 incandescent) cfls

each 65watt cfl produces 3960 lumens, so that multiplied by two + t5 = (roughly) 15,800 lumens for one plant, think this is sufficient?
