Here she is (most of her anyway-I ran out of space and had to hang a few buds in a different box) :

I trimmed off the fan leaves, but left the sugar leaves. I'll let her dry and then knock those off before she goes in the jars to cure.

Nice setup a little small but seems to work for you. The camera idea is awesome may have to invest in one.

Thanks man. you're right, it is a micro growing setup. I've only got myself to provide for, so I don't need a whole lot. Plus, I can't hide a big grow tent... this thing sits out in the open and guests think it's just a locked fridge... I'll probably move up to something bigger in the future though...I've already been toying with ideas. I've got a buddy that I can give this thing to and start a new project when I'm ready.

Haha, true. My plan is to really try to maximize what I can get from this thing first though. I want to get some speed controlled fans so that I can vary the speed with temperature, and turn off if it is cool enough. I should be able to build a simple circuit that can control them, especially with all of the really cool digital components that are so widely available. I also want to add some more supplemental lighting and CO2 enrichment. The first thing I'm going to do is get some light bars for side lighting though because everything else is really just an excuse to play around and have fun with it.

Grozone TV1 or TV2 Multimode Fan Speed Controllers are your best bet if you want your fan's to vary with your temps, automatically. Throw in the set point, tolerance, and mode and you are good to go.

Depending on which one you can get em between 40-100 bucks, I have one of each, bought the TV2 and then realized the previous model (slightly more basic), was 60 bucks cheaper.

Basically you need a relay to switch 120V AC and a temperature sensor. Combine that with some digital logic (AND gate) and it should be ready to switch on and off at whatever temp I want. This doesn't consider speed control, but still simple...

I just popped two auto purple kushes a couple days ago gonna watch your grow as mine unfolds hoping to get a product like what you just got seeing as my scaling will be just about the same as yours

I like the autos a lot...but I'm not planting more until this Fall. I harvested two plants starting from a November 5 initial planting to about 90 days later in the beginning of February....not too shabby. I'm a cheap bastard, so I don't run the heat very much in the winter and temps aren't ever an issue. Now I'm doing THC Bomb, a photoperiod plant, through the summer so I can have lights off during the day when it's hot in my house... I'm gone at work all day and I turn off the AC when I'm not home. During the hottest months it gets to about 80 degrees F in the house before I can get back, so hopefully this lighting schedule will keep things cool.

Autos grow so quickly though, it's amazing...
