welcome flintstoner... great name. and love the avatar, grew up on calvin and hobbes. my bad brew, i was stoned when i responded and totally forgot. my vote is for the hawaiian snow. :bigjoint:

truly remarkable jigs... a beautiful sight and will only get better. how much water is each one of those hydro girls drinking each day? as for the pH meter, is yours auto-calibrating or manual? and i like the artistic take on some of your pics, particularly the one with the clipped leaves on...

All three are progressing nicely. One thing I'm learning that's really convenient about starting seedlings in hydroponics is that there is very little maintenance needed. This is great for me considering the face that I have been traveling lately. The SLH and MK are both starting to sprout...

:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o holy unreal! brew, i am envious! if you ever decide to post pictures, you gotta let me know.

thanks paranoid. i totally feel you about not having time. i've been busy as hell myself lately and have been forcing myself to make time to update this journal since it just started. looking forward to see your update.

I've been out of town for the last two days so was anxious to see the progress when I got back tonight. The Master Kush and Super Lemon Haze are about to sprout their second leaves. The White Widow, however... never even sprouted. I had a feeling this would happen considering that I could...

thanks sagensour. i really took my time building the cabinet and best thing about it is that it didn't cost me too much to build. as for yield, i really have no idea as this is only my second time growing. plus i've never grown soil so i don't have anything to compare it too. but hey, i...

amen to that. so you expect yours to be done by christmas? what is your schedule looking like?

thanks big. i knew about all that which is another reason why i don't plan on fimming. i do still want 4 main colas so will be topping. already familiar with LST for height control, used it generously in my first grow since that grow box was only about 3' tall. i think i can get away with 12...

yo seeme, i bought all this stuff back in April so i don't remember all the prices, but let me do my best to answer. i know i paid $85 for the Agrosun Bulb and about $25 for the socket. for the Lumatek Electronic Ballast (for up to 250W bulbs), i honestly don't remember, but i think i paid...

thanks janecommamary and thanks for the rep. it sounds like the diy helped a number of people out and that makes me a happy man. i've gotten so much help from RIU, just wanted to give something back.

yo seemeat420, welcome aboard man. just some guestimates since my electric bill fluctuates month to month. with the following set-up: 250W Agrosun bulb, four 23W CFLs, 1 airduct fan, 2 small fans, and 1 60 gal Tetra Whisper airpump. while going 18/6 lighting, the bill increased by about...

will be housing 3 plants in this space. each plant will just a 1.5 sq ft of growing space.

thanks for the feedback stew and jigs. the height isn't a concern anymore now that i forked up the dough for Humboldt's Gravity. so like the first grow, i still plan on veggin for 40-some days. jigs, after going through my first grow, i totally agree with you about undergrowing versus...

Been plenty of progress over these last few days. :leaf: Master Kush - Seed cracked on Friday, transplanted to DWC on Saturday morning, first true leaves sprouted today. Super Lemon Haze - Seed cracked on Friday, transplanted to DWC on Saturday morning, the little girl has sprouted and trying...

yeah, i did some research on fimming and it scares me a bit. for those of you who aren't familiar with fimming, it basically stands for "fuck i missed." well bigbrew, i have a feeling if i attempted fimming, people would have to rename my effort to firming... fuck i REALLY missed. welcome to...

A "short" (so i'm a bit wordy) update. It has gotten a whole lot colder than expected and when I check in on the seeds yesterday evening, I realized my utility closet was below 65 degrees and the seeds didn't even start cracking yet. In my first grow, the Master Kush started cracking within 24...

def will do. feel free to following along my journal, it's the link in my signature, second grow. i've read what Attitude said about the effects of SLH, but in your own words, can you describe to us what it's like?

Thanks bigbrew... I came across one of them last night and was reading until 1:30AM... and coffee was my best friend at work this morning. I will def be doing Uncle Ben's Topping technique... will do it to all three plants. Why settle for one main cola when you can get four? :mrgreen: yo...

yo buckethead... awesome results man. jigfresh recommended this thread to me since i'm about to grow my own SLH (seeds just started germinating last night). with your SLH growing to 6', i def have some height concerns since the height of my cabinet is only 5'10". i do plan on topping and...
