Temps got down to 79 in the tent. I'm confident in that little bugger for the meantime. Yay!!! I have my fan back, no more sweating in bed!

I have seen snow 3 times in my life. One of those was in Cloudcroft, NM.

My pale ass should be up there in AK. The sun and I don't get along well.

Update for August 17, 2009.
Girls are looking pretty good. They're both in need of some nitrogen so I added 5mL of FloraMicro (5-0-1) to the reservoir. Hopefully they'll pick that green back up within the next day or two.
pH is holding steady right under 6.0 and the new fan is working very well.
Now for some photos...

Ok guys, I have come to a decision.
I am not going to buy the 600W HPS... yet. I'm just going to wait until next month instead of depleting my bank account and having to play catch-up over the next two weeks to make rent. For once, I'm going to do the responsible thing.
I'm also leaning towards not cloning this batch and waiting to do the perpetual until I have a separate veg chamber to do it in.
So, for now, I'm gonna go FIM these bitches.

Here is a ballast that I think may actually be the perfect "homegrower" ballast...
http://www.plantitearth.com/whats-hot/nextgen-electronic-ballast.aspx
I like the "multi outlets"... mh/hps... 110v/220v...
But I must say I REALLY REALLY LIKE THE DUAL WATTAGE 400w/600w...
There's plenty of times when a 400 is enough to start..
and switch to 600 to finish...

Great news! I just got a free TDS meter from my roommate too! Tap water is right around what I thought it was (~350ppm) and once through a brita filter gets it down to just over ~120ppm and I'm running it through for a third pass right now to see what I can get it down to.
It seems I'll be mixing a new batch of nutes too... considering I am at 2400ppm in the res!!!

Days of 18/6 : 25
Days of 12/12 : 0
ppm : ~890
pH : ~5.8
Mixed a new batch of nute soup for the girls. Recipes goes like this:
2 gallons water, 12.5mL Gro, 7.5mL Micro, 2.5mL Bloom, 1/4 tsp epsom salt.
Note: don't let anyone tell you to use 1tsp/gal of epsom salts or you will see ludicrous ppm numbers!
