My room has wooden tables as a buffer from the cold concrete. the 6' give or take is actual room i will have. I have not done a journal yet but i should start some time. I can take some pics but i have never uploaded to this sight and I dont want to use photo bucket for security reasons. I have 2 600hps with air-cooled and a crap load of mothers that ive had long enough to show sex. I have gone slow and read and read and read. I have a ton of clones ready to go, under the 400 mh. and figured out how to clone pretty good. I am literally hanging my big lights in the morning having walled off the dark room today. I have bubble gum, orange bud, thc bomb, ice, blueberry and a couple of diff mids bag seed. And a huge pheno of sativa that came out of the white widow seeds i purchased. My area is 5.5ft long and 8.5' wide for flowering.. which I wonder if it is too much. I use soil and have been just going real slow but I am at go point now. I have learned so much from just reading but my first grow will be hard I am thinking just because i am going sog with a few diff strains. next time my clones will be of the ones that i pick that stay uniform in size so I wont have to adjust the lights so much around the taller plants. I prob have a couple more plants that i missed but after I figure out my favorites the majority of my girls will go outdoors. I have just decided that with the way it gets so dry here in the spring and summer that i wanted to keep a consistant supply. I grew outdoors last year with a buddy that grew in california and he got me totally into this west vigor and excitement lol. Its good to meet you, thanks for asking.
