Wussup man, that shit looks good as hell i hope my buds look half as good as yours. but i was wondering how hot is too hot, i put a 150 watt hps in my closet a couple weeks ago and its been little bit hotter, anywhere between 81 - 90 and humidity been about 30-40 %. Do u think that might be a problem? i guess it couldnt hurt to get another little fan or 2

Hey Dave, Looks beautiful! I'm Just starting out hope you could help. I've read your entire thread and it's been super helpful, thanks! I just got the AG pro 200 it's got three lights and has diffrent pump cycles. Two quick questions, my AG nutes came with: starter nutes - 2 tablets and regualer nutes - also two tablets (bigger) when u say you were puting in 1/2 was it half the dose(1 tablet) or half the tablet? and finally, The pro comes with diffrent pump cycles: 12hrs - 12 hrs /18hrs - 6hrs / 17hrs - 7 hrs / and 24hours. Which was your set to? and, if i'm over nourishing, which i think i was, can i reduce the amount of time the pump is on to reduce nutes?
Sorry for the long question.. Thanks and good luck!

Ok i can go to bed now. i just went through all of your posts and pics from day one TONIGHT. very impressive, very inspiring.. you must be very proud.
by the way, not sure if u had this info but it comes with the "master gardener kit" from AG. The nutes breakdown: 8% Nitrogen(N) 17% Phosphate(p2o5) and 17% Potash(k2o). the main difference between the ag nutes and Fox farms seems to be the Phosphate, They are up somewhere closer to 45 - 50%, hope that helps for the next grow!
man onestly i dont know humidity numbers or anything of that sort. i grow indoors keeping in mind what the outdoor elements are like. that helps me alot of the time. like you said get a fan blowin in there and that will keep in cool. always works, hope i could help
here it is man, i used basically all these materials just made it my way.https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/7074-easy-build-diy-carbon-filter.html
yea man i did alot of trimmin a few weeks ago, alot of people say not too but the leaves were dead and crispy. so i went ahead and did it
i used one tablet instead of the recommended two. i only used the regular ones none of the others, and i used just distilled water for the first few weeks. its easy to burn young plants, and you cant hurt them buy not nuting. well to a certain extent. and for the pump i know mine was always on. until it stopped working. it proably worked for the first 2 months then the roots over took it and shut it down. i wouldnt nute them if there small man. get back to me with how old and tall they are man. peace

Yeah, my second try got messed up. Did you try no nutes already? How did it come out? Any reccomendations on where to buy seeds?
Thanks...

It's weird being worried about anything
at my age... but I just want to do things
right and not be a mark about the whole
thing. I keep thinking about just flying to
BC and getting seeds in hand, and "smuggling"
them back to the states on my own. What
a fucking life... Freedom Shmeedom!
Apologies on the rant. Someone hit me up
as well on this topic. Thanks!

Hehe I thought about doing that too.
Thanks Dave,
I planted all seven slots with three different types of seeds (from DRchronic.com, seems reputable, they all sprouted - for asdfva) i used: Satori, Big Bang (Femeinshed) and Himalaya Gold. its been 8 days, Five of them seem good, they are about 2 inches tall and look ok. one died(the leaves curled in and went brown) and one looks stunted, it's barely 1/2 inch tall with almost no roots, but the leaves look ok. The stems on some of them look very dark (which i think means overnourished) i actually dumped the distilled water with the 2 nutes and replaced it with distilled water and less then half of the starter nute. I think the only thing that may have saved me is that i had the pump set to 12 -12. I'm going to play with the pump timer and see what happens. Once the roots are touching the water though, i can't see that making much of a difference. I did add one thing to your setup: I'm producing CO2 in a bottle - water, sugar, yeast - dunno if that'll make much of a diffrence, but we'll see i guess. Either way, it's been a fun little experiment. I'll try to upload some pics and keep you posted. P.s. - sorry about the pats, I was really hoping to see a Perfect season in my lifetime
