I actually took it to a friends today who is a caregiver. he had a few 400W MH's and HPS's. Plus a whole damn eco system in his room. lady bugs, spiders. fucking freaky. but his plants were gorgeous. I think it's gonna do really well there. I'll still be able to update with pics and what not so stay tuned :)

glad you've found somewhere so rad to keep your babies! let us all know how the MH/HPS works on em

:peace:
 
Hey skunkmeister, thanks for your post on my thread. Looking like a good grow you've got going. I'll keep checking in. Feel free to personal message me along the way. I had a pretty similar grow setup to you.

Hey thanks bud! I went and got my plant from that place yesterday because he ended up with a grasshopper/locust infestation and one of them got a hold of my plant. That was the end of that. So I'm making it work lol. Here is how she looked last night and then I also started LST today which I have pictures of as well. And I found a growspot for myself which I will utilize to the best of my abilities. :) Also the 150W HPS should be here tomorrow. I will update with more pics then. :)

New grow cab... Got mylar now spread all over the inside of this baby. and I will be making cuts and holes for intakes and outakes. As well as weather stripping around the doors for light leaks.

Pictures from last night. (First picture easily shows you what that bastard grasshopper did)

Looks like a Fine LST to me!

Check out my my journal (link in sig) and you can see the LST on my plants pretty well in the last pictures I uploaded. :P It's good you started young when they are still very flexible, some people wait far too long!

Thanks! So I put them in their final home today with the new 150W HPS and emergency blankets all around the inside of the cabinet. I had to do some ghetto rigging to accommodate the blower and PC fans. I've also been spraying them with Very Low Sodium carbonated water for Co2 and they seem to like it. I'm quite excited to see how they adapt to their new light...

What's crazy about this plant is that I've put it through so much stress and it's just kept growing non stop. Even with the LST that I did on it yesterday there was still substantial growth today. It's amazing. Anyway, on to the pics....

I scored a T5 High Output light today for $10 :) Quite happy about that. Got my deformed seedling under it now. I'm thinking I actually might use it until flower. Only thing stopping me is that it doesn't fit in my grow cab and it's somewhat important for it to be clean and free from bugs.

I need advice!! Like always! i need to find ways to seal my cab of light leaks and dust. someone's gonna really have to hold my hand through the process. PLEASE!!!! I'm begging!

Either my PH is off like a motherfucker or I got nute burn or a certain deficiency. Going to buy some strips ASAP in the morning.

Thanks JFA. I just pruned the bottom water leaves off today. Bought some Big Bloom as well. Gonna wait for the soil to dry out feed it some Big Bloom. I don't need help with the lights. I just need help Sealing the light leaks around my grow cab. I'm gonna get some pictures of the light leaks and hopefully some of the intelligent people on this forum can come up with something.

Bought a light timer today to start it on a constant strict schedule of 18/6 which started today. I will also be starting to use a little bit of used coffee grounds and egg shell dissolved in water to feed and fert the plants. we'll see how it turns out. wish me luck :)

As of today... This is how they are looking.

I flushed the soil yesterday because of what I believe was a severe pH imbalance of course I don't know for sure because I don't have a meter and really can't afford one with the other problems I am having with this plant. I am also looking for an A/C unit to bring down the ambient temp of the room the cabinet is in. I might fail this grow but atleast with all the shit I'm buying for this one I'll be prepared for the next grow haha.
