Hiya all,

Been around here for a while. Started with a couple of failed PC grows and have since then build a 'mid-sized' grow box that doubles as a fish tank stand.

This grow will not be from start to finish because I have been growing since the first week of Feb. Allow me to fill everyone in:

Set Up:
-12/12 From start to finish
-250HPS with cooltube
-4in Inline fan with 178cfm
-Humbolt Nutes; BLOOM
-Air Rocks Homemade Hydro [don't know the term; maybe bubbler]
-10ish Gallon tub with Hydroton Medium
-1x 4in inside fan
-1x 120mm PC fan for intake *going to replace

So I started this bag seed sprout in the box around Feb 4th or first week of Feb. I started with two and after around 3-4 weeks had one female and one hermi. I decided, of course, to terminate the hermi. So, currently I have one female in flower and her name is Lola. She started flowering about the first weekend of March so she is already 3 weeks into her flowering stage. I should only have about 4-5 weeks left. I will post some pics tomorrow. She is a bit yellow from alternating ph [forgot to check for a week], but she has been pulling back quite strong this past week. I only have about 10 inches of vert grow space and she has already surpassed that so I am going to get some chicken wire and 'cone' it off around the neti basket. I will lst her around the chicken wire. I know this technique has a name but I have already forgotten it. I believe it is like the Vert Scrog or something like that. Anyways, I have some upkeep to do tomorrow to the box so I will get some pics then.
