Hey all! I decided to do a journal of my grow. I need a lot of help as far as advice goes as this is my fist grow. I already had one plant die and almost killed another. So urmmm ya, here goes.
Strain: Barney's Pineapple Chunk=fem
Nutes: Flora Duo A+B
Grow Method: Bubble Ponics
Lights, CFL 6500K x 4 x 23watt + Sunshine Systems 28w http://www.amazon.com/Sunshine-Systems-LEDGP45-GlowPanel-Light/dp/B001N4NKB8
Humidity: 45%
1x Co2 pads
2x 4" inline with filter.
1x Intake powered by CPU fan.
Here's my light system. Heat being an issue, I decided to go with LED's with cfl's supplemental (4x 23watt 6500k). The LED has good reviews so I went with it. $123.00..

Day 12 from sprout. Everything is doing well, I decided to not grow another plant I had in a 5 gallon bucket next to this one since something was very wrong with it. So I wont bother showing you a picture of the sick one.

Day 15, I darn near killed this plant! Look at it! Turns out that I decided to move the bucket center stage and the overhead LED was trapping heat from the 4 cfl's located on each side of the bucket.

I was heart broken! My little girl! But I decided to hold on to her and try and bring her back.. She came back to me!! Hehe.. I had to trim her up since some of her fan leaves were crusty. Gee, you think it's time to get a cooling fan yet?
Bought a big-ol fan and put it next to my lil girl and now she looks like this. Sorry if the picture is twisted but you'll see the bounce back. Day 18.![recent.jpg](/data/attachments/1337/1337648-4dbb307361543ac1d94fd4606bcd41bf.jpg)
Now I am wondering if it's time to top or hold off and pinch her instead. Thanks in advance for any advice.![Weed Leaf :leaf: :leaf:](/styles/smilies/weed.gif)
