yeah man its like going outside on a hot summer day in there. im just worried about the heat, i may add a second intake.

the fixture that the bulb is in has 2 open 6" holes so i duct taped a fan to one open end to try to help cool the bulb down. highest temp i saw last night was 28-30C so hopefully it doesnt get any hotter.

yea i gota upgrade my ventilation too, im gonna get 2, 6"inlinefans from home depot 1 pushing and one pulling i think that should help my space

pic update, its been a while. kush isnt getting any taller, but the buds are. still small though, but hey what can i expect on my first female.

Thai stick with the two crowns is much larger than the kush now. shes a girl as well.

I also have 3 small plants that were my first babies in there. 1 im sure is female, 1 is showing some swelling but no signs of sex yet. and the other i think i see some small sacks on it but they are too small to tell so im going to give it a few more days to be sure.

1000watt HPS is proving to be a great investment, now i need to get my heat under control!

First 3 pics are of my thai stick that split its crown by itself into 2 crowns. The flowering is comming along slowly but nicely on that one. I lollypopped the crap out of it as you can see. small nute burn on that one.

In my last picture is an update on the kush. you can see now how much its really filled itself out. lollypopping that one turned out to be a great idea seeing how the bottom 4 colas have reached on out and are nice and full of little buds quite a bit of nute brn on the kush however but oh well it was my first female ive ever had. lesson learned. 2/3 strength nutes in the first couple weeks of flower is no good.

about how many days flowering?

lol i dunno. i stopped keeping track when i bought a magnifier to watch the trichs. but the trichs are still 100% clear and the nugs look like they have lots of growing to do still. Id say I have another 3-4 weeks at least on the kush and almost 8 weeks on the thai stick!

how many Xs magnify do you need to see trichs?

ummmm 30X works but i think I have a 60X - 100X magnifier. I bought it for less than $20 in my local hydro store. if you have one then you dont really need to worry about how much time is left by guessing. you juts check the trichs for when they are cloudy and then you know your weed is ready to smoke!

Really makes a difference in the potentcy of the buds.
