I started this grow closet 4 weeks ago and thought I would share since I didn't kill everything.
Closet is 4x4 but using a 2 x 4 table so that I have room to work with plants
I decided on a 2 x 4 flood table and growing in 6" Rockwool cubes. I am using a 400W/600W switchable light by NEXTGEN. Using a 400W MH for vegging and a 600 HPS for flowering.
This is my first grow so please be kind. I switched to 12/12 with the 600W HPS at day 21. Hope all goes well.
pic #1. girls at day 7 , pic# 2, girls at day 14, pic #3 girls at day 21 and the day we started flowering., pic #4 girls at day 28, today.
I'm too old to play softball anymore so this will be my new hobby and it is a legal grow.

looking really good, newbie. one trick - place your smaller plants on a platform so that the tops of all of your plants are at the same height. your shorter plants will thank you with a lot better growth.

also, it looked like you wanted comments so i went ahead but the general rule here is that people won't comment on a grow journal unless you specifically ask them to.

Thank you so much for the positive input.

I probably should get a carbon filter but this is a legal medical so I just enjoy the smell.

The window for a PK spike is just closing!!! Get some phosphorous and potassium and micronutes on 'em. If you can't afford something like Ginormous, which isn't even that expensive, go for a $7 bag of high phosphorous (Indonesian) bat guano, and some form of potassium. I don't know if you'd wanna use molasses since you're in rockwool, but research it. A PK spike in week 4-5 will increase yield 20%. It might be too late to do 2 PK spikes, since you're late on the first one, but if you research it, you'll know. Your buds look good but they can be bigger! PK spike! PK spike! :)
