ALRIGHT!!! It's day 34, and holy crap I had a scare this morning. I came in and Juana was completely bent over and all leaves were dropped down to the ground. Somehow my timer died, not sure how but it did. I replaced the timer and gave it a good watering and it perked back up in less then 10 minutes.
But anyways, today is PICTURE DAY!!!!! I have a bunch of high-res pictures that I will post! Hope you all enjoy!!!
This is what I woke up to this morning

Be careful not to overload that outlet outside your closet there, maybe im just being a worry wort but you dont want to trip your fuse or circuit breaker, or even worse, start a fire.
But great looking setup, your plants are looking awsome as well.

Thank you fattony! I actually have already replaced that. I was worried about that too a few days ago so I went out and bought 2 more and have plugged them in different sockets. Thanks for the good eye and thanks for dropping by!!! Also thanks for the compliment!

I really didn't want to post these. But, I figured, hey lets all get a laugh out of this. So here are the present pictures of Mary and Stretch. They are extremely skinny and stretched and leaves are horrible. I should have cut these down a long time ago but I dont have the heart to. Tell me what yall think of them. Is it time to chop em down, or worth throwing into flowering?
On another note, I am also going to post some pics of my new k2 seedlings. Both seedlings are under 3 13w CFLs, 24/0,about 1 1/2" away with oscilating fan blowing.

Thanks!!! I like this setup ALOT, there are a few problems with this kind of setup though. Changing out your water is a pain in the ass. You have to take all 3 pots out and set them aside and move your resevoir to the bathroom. Also, your only allowed limited space for one resevoir. This setup is pretty much dummy proof, but I think I'm going to keep my mothers in my hydro and my clones/future plants will be going into soil. Thanks for stopping by! More pics to come on Tuesday when I throw them into flowering.

Man, it feels good to hear such nice things! I'm hoping everything goes as well for flowering as it did for veg. My only concern now for my flowering room is getting the heat out. I'll keep ya posted on the flowering room when I get it setup.

Well it's day 36 and today I finished the flowering room. I can't wait to get the high res pictures posted of everything! But for now I'll post some from my cell phone. Took me a total of about 6 hours to complete. I got my 400w HPS chained up and ready to go. The light is 27 inches away from the tops. I have my oscilating fan blowing on the tops of the plants and with my light barrier tarp I have a 120m fan blowing air out from the top. It's roughly 79 with the lights and fans going.
Right now the plants are looking very good and sturdy getting near 1.3 feet for each plant. Will be taking clones from Juana tomorrow. Still contimplating on throwing it into flowering on Tuesday, just going to see how much stress cloning does to it.

Outside of my closet, PC fan blowing air out from the top
Day 36 of Juana, showing signs of N def so I upped the nutes
The whole setup is now complete and ready for action!!!
Any Comments/Questions are much appreciated! Will post pictures when starting flowering.

Looking good Toolage
I'm really glad you managed to rescue them, dam timers
I've decided to wait til mine show preflowers now,
Good luck with the cloning, nice set up too
Thanks alot GG, I'm too impatient for that
but I will keep ya posted on everything. I'm so psyched!!!Yeah they do look crispy, but they are extremely soft! ITS MINDBLOWING! Now that I have them under this 400w hps, just last night Mary is making a STRONG come back! Stretch on the other hand which is my middle plant is still looking like crap. My K2 seeds are coming out nice, I'm keeping the 2 k2 seeds in the rockwool for another 4 days before putting them into bigger cubes.
I just got back from the store and got my humidity clone box. I also picked up a temp/hum lcd display instead of this crappy mercury therm.
Is a heating pad really that important? I've heard others doing clones without heating pads and it works just fine? Any insight would be great! Thanks!
