What's up 420 so you got your screen and trying to fit it in there some how, well when you figure it out post some pics so we can check it out!

I think you might really get some decent shit from this grow if all stays on track and I've been following your gro with GREAT interest as I've been seriously thinking of doing something pretty much identical except I really didn't think about using a screen(SOG) but that just adds all the more excitement to your grow!

Hope you come out succesful( know that ain't right but high and drunk)

keep us posted

peace

All right cool man I look forward to seeing it, and they say pot does nothing for you this is the most creative people I have ever been around. All the other people I know just live a day to day life go to work, come home, clean a little house, go to sleep, and do it all over in the morning. Also they keep putting my growing dream down saying I can't do it and blah blah blah but anyways not to get off the subject(little high as always) can't wait to see the new setup, bet it looks a lot different with a screen in there.

Get some good pics.

well i looks like plant C is going to pull threw the leaves are starting to perk up a little so its looking good for flowering to start on friday as long as nothing crazy happens

i have decided to abandon the boxes i am using a bathroom now it is about the same size as the boxes but have a lot more hight if i had a real cam i would post pics :?

the bath setup i put the light hoods that i made for the boxes on 2 poles that stretch from back wall to front wall(they are shower rods)
to recap on my lights i have 1(42 watt warm CFL) , 4(23 watt cool CFL),3(23 watt warm CFL), and 1(13 watt warm CFL). i am also thinking of adding a 26 watt full spectrum CFL(it is a desk lamp with 2 adjustable arms) .

i am going to put 2 more poles about 10 inches up from my pots and install the screen onto the poles(shower rods)

a recap on my plants :
A is dead :(
B is my healthiest plant i am also trying the FIM method on it
C got over watered but is starting to recover
D is deformed but is very healthy
A-D are the same age 19 days old
E-G is all the same age 17 days old
H is th youngest at 14 days old but sat in dark for 3 days on the count of no room in boxes (but is in new grow area and starting to perk up:) )

i guess i will get updated pictures of all my babies and post them so you guys can see the hell i have put them through :D

heres a update on the plants

B,C,D are 22 days old
E,F,G are 20 days old
H is 17 days old

I will post some pictures in a few hours.

Plant B = i did cut the upper 2 leaves off.

Plant C = i seen new growth on it to day :)

Plant D = i like the look of B so much i did D the same way.

Plant E,F, and G might be males :( they are stretching a lot more that B and D .

Plant H = still only has the first set of jagged leaves but it looks healthy.

Looks good. I like the setup. You can not determine sex by the growth paters of the plant. Keep your head up on E F and G still have a good possibility to be female.

The first picture is of all the lights i have in a 2x3 foot area.

The 4 foot Fl's are new i have 32 watt bulbs in it.
and i was wrong about the CFL's being 23 watts the are 26 watts each there are 7 of them.
I also have a 13 watt thats on the shop light fixture and the real big CFL is a 42 or 43 watt.

The other three pictures are of plant D it is what plant B looked like 2 days ago.

The first 4 pictures are of plant B(i trimmed it about 32 hours ago).

The last picture is one of the leaves i trimmed off B.

Plants E, F, and G are not going to be trimmed to see witch one's produce the largest yield.

Plant C is still kicking but has had major trauma.

Plant H is still to small to worry about.

I am also making a clone out of the cutting i took from plant D to see how small of a cutting i can take off and for it to root.

The cutting was about a inch that i took off(i will post a picture of it soon).
