Well it's that time, they have all hit the 1foot mark and are showing signs of sex which are all beautiful girls! I'm doing the update now because tonight at 6pm the light will go off until noon tomorrow, then they will get hit with the HPS. Lights will be on from noon til midnight and then off til noon obviously. The mother plant box is almost good to go need to hang the light and a few other things. Anyways heres the last pics for the girls before Flowering:

ya, she's a beauty. The original plan was to use the box as a multi level growing box. 4-6 plants per level. Clones/seeds on the bottom with a HO Florescent and then transplanted to 3gal buckets and put under the MH on the upper level. But I decided against that considering I would need another ballast to make the closet be the flowering room after the veg box. So i made the closet both the Veg and flowering and the box for mothers and veggin if needed. Heres some pics of the completed box by the way and a homemade carbon filter out of a cold air intake for a car i had hehe, saved about 150 bucks i'd say lol.

Aight well, small update, lost my camera for the moment or else i would add a few pics hehe. But anyways, I was in the room earlier today and realised that what i had going on to keep out the light during the day wasn't working and the box that the mother plant is in is shooting light out of it all over the place. So i had to throw a sheet over it to tone the light down due to the fact that I'm on my flowering schedule in the closet now, which is 5 feet away from the mother box and the room was just too bright i think. Lights are going to be on from midnight til noon and off from noon til midnight due to keeping the heat down during the day. Now i had to velcro some black plastic up on the window to block out the light and was thinking about forcing some air into the room, so i put my small fan in the window and cut a hole into the plastic for it to fit into and that has toned down the temps in the room more than i could imagine lol. I am hella impressed and think the plants will love it! Anyways, The main updates are the fact that Temps are down, Plants are on a 12/12 flowering schedule now under the 1000w HPS and the Mother Plant is loving her new home :D

It works very very well. You have to have a fan with the power of zeus though lol, I had to put a cup kind of like a net pot in the middle and take out some carbon because it was just too much. Wrap the net Pot in Nylons or the same kind of material then fill in around the net pot

Aight here we are one week into flowering, they are all doing fricken wonderful! Not much to update, started adding Fox Farms Tiger Bloom along with the regular nutes. Mother plant is doing good cept for the fact that i think it's not getting enough light! Trimmed a few fan leaves to get some light to the rest of the plant, so we'll see if she pick up! Plants are all roughly 2 feet now including the mother plant. So I'm happy as a fat kid in an all you can eat candy buffet! hehe. Also made a few upgrades to the room. Put up a blanket to fix any type of light leaks over the closet. Also put up some black vinyl with a hole cut in it for a fan to cool off the room which has been working fricken AWESOMLY! Got some pics to show ya. Here we go, week 10 pics:

Also a side note, Was having huge smell issues. So i went a cheap route that seems to be working phenomenally. For one, I made my own carbon filter as you can see in that post on 3/29. But i also bought some cheap ass 15 dollar plug in carbon filter fans from walmart as you can see plugged into the power strip in the sunbathing ladies pics hehe. Also have another one in the front room. Between the 2 type of filters I literally smell nothing! Also I've been able to keep the room that the plants are in door closed because of the fan in the window pushing in cold air. Combo of both of that is amazing as far as smell goes. Just thought I'd throw that tid bit in!
