Haha, so I like the Grasshopper and have no complaints, but lately I've been smoking again......... I haven't used it for a few weeks O_O. it's just simpler than messing with batteries.
Good! It's pretty quiet!How's The Sound Proofing Working Out For You

Well guys, 2 GrinLife seeds are in the wet paper towel 
Gotta stop by tomorrow to HD and get a few more things but we're getting this show on the road! Only 12 weeks to buds..............12/12 from seed + 7mins 730nm at lights out.
I've got a lot of light in there: 3 72V CXB3590's: two 3000K at 1.04A, and a 2700K at 1.4A. I'm thinking to swap the 2700 for a 5000K, as I like more of a mix of colors, but we'll see how this first run goes
The plan is to get the mini-fridge running again for a veg box....the goal is to start a couple in veg in two months.......we'll see........

Hi RIU peoples, I hope you all are doing well
The original plan was for two girls, and I germinated two seeds...but they were slow to come out of the dirt. I figured I'd say screw it and start two new girls, and I did, but when I put them in the ground I saw that one of the two original seeds did finally sprout! So, here we are with three bastard children GrinLife seedlings:
Gonna hook up the blumats very soon!

Hello RIU peoples, the weekend is almost here The three girls (hopefully) are still coming along...two are topped and the third will be topped tomorrow. I accidentally got a little carried away and damaged one of the plants when i topped it( I was being lazy and instead of grabbing the micro-scissors, and I just tried to pinch it), but it is growing really quickly....I hope it's not a male. I have the lighting on 16/8 +5 mins 730nm, but I'm going to be switching to 12/12 + 5mins 730 nm on Monday. Normally I would do the 13/11, but I want it to go fast as possible, idk if this will help but that's what I'm trying I took out the 2700K 3590 and put in one of my 5000K 3070s, so now we have about 200W of lighting total with 3:1::3000K:5000K ratio.
They're growing fast:

Thanks man
Yeah, it seems similar to what I had with the IG200. So it looks cramped, but I can actually raise the lights about another foot, so I think I could handle 3ft plants if I had to do it. I was going to do some heavy bending though to try to keep them short and wide.
