Hey man, how ya doin. nice little setup you got there, dont know why im the first to reply.

got a few q's and a few suggestions and im sure they will be very welcome.

first of all
whats that reflective stuff you've got there?
is this a stealth operation or is it your own house and it doesnt really matter?
what are you gunna do about the smell when it begins?
how are you gunna flower them all, are you gunna wait for the littluns to catch up before you start the more advanced swiss mix or do you have a seperate flowering and veg thing?

those yellow leaves might mean your overwatering or mixing your nutrients a tad off so you might wanna check that.

finally, just a worry i had was that you were taking a bit of a risk with those seedlings balancing on that tray thing, thank god there was no problems but it scared me a lil bit when i came across those pics.

overall, sick set up. i'm gunna subscribe and make sure someone pays attention and helps out, im not too advanced (only done one and a half grows) but am well read up and love growing. and i have the same ruler as you!

peace out bro

hey man thanks for checking the grow out and the compliments.
the reflective stuff im not sure but its like reflective sheeting foam insulation and another sheet of reflective material so im assuming its some sorta insulation got it off a friend.
its a kinda half and half op its my rents house but i basically rent my room if ya get me,plus ive sold pot fo a while now so my folks know what its all about the smell im not gonna bother about probably jus open my bathroom window when i go out only reason im saying this is my first grow didnt stink at all i think that was due to the fact the amounta pot thats smoked in my house anyway so there always a smell of stale ciggie/weed smoke.and there a glade air freshner right outside my door and that seemd to cover it last time.
im tryin to let the lil uns catch up but i dont think its gonna happen lol that swiss just keep growing its like a cm everynight but im gonna flower the small 1's in about 2 weeks give or take a few days.if the swiss gets too big ill jus make a diff room in my attic the attic is in my room btw.
the yellowing has really confused me because i let them dry out basically completely before watering again,my soil pH is 6-6.5,my tap water is 7.8 which i leave out for 24 hours and when i add nutes 1/8 strenght everywatering the pH of the liquid is 6 bang on i think this is ok am i right?
also the seedling were fine there was 2 speakers underneath them that were basically the same size as the tray.i hope thats answered most of your questions and thanks again for checking it out really chuffed man thanks happy toking peepz

lol and yeah that ruler was lifted from school years back ooo the amounta heads that were slapped wi that

another update swiss seems to have stopped growing overnight finally lol!!!
and the wee anes are well on there way , i open the box this mornin (well evening by the time i got my codiene'd arse outta bed)and was like wow!!!!!

alryt big enn u`ll need to help me make ma page proud wif a grow of ma own some day
