Not sure when I start flowering... when the plants are the right size I guess. What the right size is I don't know, will depend on the tube setup and how much the lights cover. I got my 3rd light in the mail the other day.

The wait on the tubes is the roots. As soon as all 6 of them have roots at least 4" hanging down they'll go in the tubes. It will be great to have them in there. The plants LOVE LOVE LOVE them tubes man. I think it's all the air the roots get mixed with just a little water. I think NFT is the way to go. Aero would be bomb if it wasn't so complicated and prone to equip failure. I know you like hempy, but to me it's still too much work, you have to water like every few days. I sound so lazy. :)

I need to put the other two lights on brackets and hook them to the door... see what the coverage is gonna be like. I might even do one for each wall so to speak if the plants can handle being that close to them. They are doing well close to the light in veg, so we'll see.

Hah do you remember when I gave that advice... "Get her to eat as much as possible, use cereal" You see the direct relation to how long she sleeps now with how much food she ate huh!

Funny you mention the making noise thing. My fucking dogs were waking me up last night, it was about 2:30 when I finally said ok I'm taking them out. So as I get to the top of the stairs I notice they are quiet. So then I stand there silently waiting. I don't know how long I stood there cuz I wasn't even really awake but then I was like shit, I'm getting back in bed. So I stepped ever so quietly back into my room and got back in bed. 3 minutes later they started whining again! I think what actually happened was they heard me get up the first time and walking upstairs so they thought I was coming down and quit whining cuz they had achieved their goal. After a few minutes was when they said WTF man we KNOW he was coming and where is he now?!

Needless to say I ate a bowl of cereal, little cocksuckers. Making me eat when I don't wanna. I had a hard enough time fighting the munchies before bed!

Well... it is work to water....lol... However... I still have all my pumps and line etc... and I think this next time I am gonna run my auto-feed setup. That means once a week I work. We will see. I will at least do it for the flower cabinet.

I used aluminum L iron to make brackets for light mounts before and works great. I think you could probably get the plants closer than they recommend with those lights and not burn as long as your ambient temps are low. I was like 3" from a 600w hps and got just a little burn/light bleaching.

Hempy was easy for me ecxept for the runoff, but soil is the same in that respect.
Bigger faster plants though, and if real hydro is better than that an easier I REALLY need to get off my ass and use the setup I bought a yr ago.

It's official.... these lights are BEAST!!!! Holy shit. You're telling me I'm vegging with only 150w of power being drawn. These are vegging MUCH MUCH MUCH better than they would under a 150w MH. I know... I've tried. :)

I lowered the light the other day when I put in the new water. The plants closest to the light were praying... ah I love that look. Since they liked the light so much I decided to try to test taking the 'glass' out of 2 of the reflectors/ lights. I took the out this morning, and I can already see a difference in the plants below. I'm going to take the other 'glass' off as well.

I guess I'll work on putting a second light in... if they like 1 this much they should enjoy 2 to veg under.

The roots are blowing up too. :)

I told you guys these plants would hit their stride, just takes a little bit. Now if I can keep from fucking them up!

WOW... just looked and those pics were taken yesterday... the ones I posted yesterday I mean. To think all this happened in about 24 hours.

You got me on the banana front bro, I love naners and oranges. I guess I'm just a fat ass American that only considers it a meal if 1500+ calories are taken in haha... I'm quite skinny for a fat ass though.

Every morning I have a breakfast sandwich. A bagel, an egg, cheddar cheese, 5-6 slices of calbrese salami, pepper, garlic salt. Sometimes I have 2.

Doesn't matter what I eat, or what I don't eat... I'm always the same weight.

WOW Bassman... she looks so different than a month ago. It's like she's grown up or something. Here's a group from now and then.

Now







Then

My Little Girl is 10 years old now, so we came up with a plan for when she starts Dating! The Family will get together and have a Gun Cleaning Party to GREET the Squire looking to pick up MY DAUGHTER!

Between Me and a few of her CRAZY Uncles...... Well?..... You get the Picture! WooHoo!

As Hannah learns to communicate, LIFE will get MUCH Easier! I am not sure I agree with the NO TV thing? One of the BEST things WE Discovered was Baby Einstien Videos! When my Kids started school, they had a Great understanding of Shapes, Colors, Animals, Music... PLUS they would be entertained for hours..... Learning!

Babies will teach you UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, which WILL change YOU for the BEST, dont fight it cause the Sacrifices you make for her, will ONLY ADD to your Character! WooHoo!

Peace
