Hello All-
I've decided to start a thread with my grow. This is my first grow thread since the OG days. I got a little gun shy when all the stuff went down over there and I haven't been too active on the boards until recently. I really like the people here, so I kinda made this place my home.
I am completely medical legal now and this is for personal use only. So here goes...
This is my setup:
Working Upright Freezer controlled by an external thermostat. This gives me complete climate control. With the heater and CO2, I have complete control over my environment. It is divided into a top veg chamber and a bottom flower chamber. I have air flow between the chambers with computer fans pulling to the top, and a return duct with a fan pulling to the bottom, thus equalizing temps and CO2. I have many further enhancements planned, so stay tuned... 
(1) AK47 X Black Dominion (left side in pic) (2) Trainwreck X Herijuana (right side in pic) Started in clone form.
(2) 105 watt CFL's, 6200 lumens each
(4) 24 watt Agro Max HO T5's, 2000 lumens each
2 Auto Pots- The real original Auto Pots, not the rip off version put out by Home Harvest.
Air pump injecting O2 to the roots with a specially made dome in the bottom of the pots.
CO2 injection. My unit is completely sealed and I keep the CO2 around 800-1000 ppm. Not sure if it is giving any advantages, but they sure do transpire and grow like crazy.
2 ft X 1.5 ft SCROG screen
Space heater, modified and mounted on back wall.
Currently using the "Auto Pot" brand of nutes, but I plan to switch back to Fox Farm after this round.
If you don't know what Auto Pots are, here is a link to their site: http://www.autopot.com.au/default.aspx?PageID=A9C2C317-

read up on how they work, they are the most awesome thing I have found in the world of growing. They give hydroponic equivalent growth rates, without the hassles of hydro. No PH adjustments, no TDS adjustments, no flushing, it's really as simple as plant 'em and watch 'em grow. I can actually leave for a few days and not worry about my plants, which is something I could never attempt when I was doing hydro. I will never go back.

I plan on changing my lighting to either 3 or 4 200 watt cfl's with 12,000 lumens each. I expect much better results, and should help with the CO2 uptake.
This is day 19 of 12/12 and the screen is pretty much full to the best I can get her. Still some minor training to do, and some slower growth to catch up, but this is pretty much it. I did some trimming tonight to keep bud sites from being shaded, I will finish up my final trimming on the bottom side this weekend. And yes, I trim fan leaves and whatever gets in the way of another bud site, sometimes maybe only half of a leaf. Not to start an argument, but it works for me.
This is the first time I have used this size screen and I put them into flower about a week too soon. Oh well, I would rather have a screen not full enough than an over full one. I also got a little light burn on the Trainwreck because I was gone for a couple days and they got into the lights
. But all in all, I'm pretty happy with the screen fill.
Also, with the light changes planned, I will get better coverage, currently I have dark spots toward the back of the screen, which is why I didn't use the back of the screen this round.
I should have taken a pic more from the top down, I'll make sure I do that next update.
So, on to the porn...
Stay tuned for more pics of my overall system and grow chamber...
Peace out-
GS
