Wat up bigdawg, nice grow there for a second into your journal i thought the outcome of the tin foil would've burned the plans but then again you dont have it very close. They are looking way healthy, ima stay posted.

Good luck!

I tried to move them up as much as I could..but my room as you can see is pretty limited.. My temps have been much hotter than I like around 80-95 degrees but I cant do much about it and the plants dont seem to mind but makes me wonder how much better they could be if I was running at a cool 75 degrees..

Hi big dawg

Plants are looking happy bru. How are the temps around that box? I always get a bit worried with cardboard and electric items. And what is the reflective material you are using inside the box? If it's foil I would recommend changing it to mylar. I believe you would be able to pick some up cheap somewhere in the US (not from there but they sell them at camping stores, sports stores, etc)

Love the kush flavours, I am also growing some OG Kush, fantastic stuff!!! Shame about the lamp you bought. I had one of my girls under a 300cfl for flowering for a while, but as soon as it went into the hps environment it just took off.

Peace and good luck with it all.

Thanks for the reply despite it being right in the middle of my "dont post until" thread..lol I pm'd you and its not a big deal haha

My plants pretty much always look happy.. Same thing with my first grow.. And I really don't even try.. Like I said dont ph my soil, dont add nutes, occasionally have uncirculated old air in my room (old air is rare though, just when I wake up late and dont open the closet doors) trim more than a fair share of fan leaves, my humidity level is a little less than preffered and generally The temps are much higher than I'd like ranging from about 92 degrees at the hottest and only at the tops (guessing because my digital thermometer sits at about the middle of the plants) and 77-85 degrees at about the middle of the plants. during the day of course..probably high 60's- low/mid 70's at night. Occasionally I blow a fan on them but it doesnt seem to help much. Am I just lucky? As far as the Mylar goes I tried to find some at Home Depot the day I made my homemade reflector and they had no clue what I was talking about lol. Wish I would have known/thought to check a sports store.. Oh well kinda late now. And I agree with the OG Kush family being bomb, but I have heard that Tahoe OG is rare and pretty much the cream of the crop when it comes to the OG Family.. And I'd like to try hps and metal halide next time around.. But I'll sit here and argue that CFL's are just as good but require much more of them and thats really just a pain in the ass. Thanks for checkin out my grow journal

Just for kicks heres a few pictures of my first grow exactly 1 year ago.. It was Platinum Bubba Kush
