I am using parts of one of my tents to make a 2x4 veg tent in my room but the main structure is being stored above the room. I'm using magnetic right now too. My 600 is one of those Budget Gro deals, LOL
I miss the days of having multiple digital ballasts and a magnetic just sitting as a backup
Maybe one day I'll be in a better position financially and will get back to having backup equipment.

Hello all! Long time lurker, first time poster here in the 6 double 0. This is easily the best thread on the site, and after the better part of 2 yrs, on and off, I have skimmed all 5 billion pages. It was like Moses wandering the desert making it this far, but here I am, and 38 yrs sooner! Ok, enough chit-chat, I know what you all want.... Pics!
Dec. 2008. First Grow to completion. Saw an idea for a grow box on this site and built one. 3 ft high outdoor storage box, bathroom light fixture, computer fan for exhaust, small fan for circulation and a handful of cfl's. Just bagseeds grown in MG soil and nutes. Lesson learned? Don't water with MG nutes EVERY TIME YOU WATER! Had some nasty rusty looking spots all over these bitches, but they finished, truely a Miracle grow. Ended up with just under 3 oz. dry from 2 plants... ok, semi dry, had those rookie ants in my pants and dried for about 4-5 days before jarring. Lesson learned? Lost over 2 oz.'s to mold.
Took some time off from growing, it's fun but can be exhausting. I relate it to time travel, you check on your plants for 5 min. then realize it's been a hour and a half. Anyways, the summer of '11 my buddy decided he was going to grow outdoors. lasted a month before he got paranoid so he brought it inside, in that same box, which we now had to cut a hole in the bottom of because the plant was too big. This plant started out as twins, wish I had a pic of it, two separate plants, one seed, one female so the other had to go. Still using MG organic soil and nutes. 1/2 strength, every 2-3 waterings, still burned the tips but it worked. Ended up with around an ounce, dried, cured, no mold!
Summer of '12. Same story as last year, friend started outside in June, by August it was peaking over his deck and he brought it inside under the cfl's. Until now these grows have been with bagseeds, this time an auto-flowering strain known as Speed Devil # 2. Ha, auto-flowering, good one. This one was about a foot taller then last year's so I had to rig the box on the sides to be able to raise it. The third time I raised it, the box fell and nearly decapitated her. Thankfully it just pulled her out of the dirt a little, been a month, still growing, no worries. After years of telling my friend the benefits of HID lights he broke down and got one. I recommended the 600, so 600 we now have. I built a new box...err tent with pvc and black and white poly. Heard storied of pvc gassing and hurting plants, no problems so far! Was going to build a 5x5x5 but the plant in the bucket is 4.5 ft, so I sacked up and went 5x5x7. Some bottom branches had to be cut due to lack of light while in the box. Still in progress, but I still got pics.
And that's it for now, hope I didn't bore you with this long post. Happy Growing!

Thanks DST! Growing really is a live and learn process, and I've had plenty of learning. Each grow seems to get better the more I get a feel for how the plants react. Can't wait till this one finishes so I can start the next batch, now that I have the room for more that 2 tiny plants.

That is why I am going to have the light period at night and the dark period during the day. My grow closet is within a garage and it does get kind of cold at night. But it doesn't really drop below 45 here much. And I am going to be lightweight insulating my grow closet anyways. So that is why I am more worried about the heat than the cold.

I have to say right off the bat, with the blue and red bulbs, that the plants are look so much nicer?But with 1200 vs 1600, it's way cooler too.So I know that helps too.Will see how this grow goes.
Last one was not to good, due to much molasses, with great nutes.Got nute lock, big time, but didn't catch it, till the end
This run no molasses, and things look better.Some of the plants with no molasses are just so nice and green.
