cool thanks man
i just dropped the lights down a bit got them closer,
should i just ebay the mylar?
i got that from a friend of mine i was a bit curious about why it didnt look like the mylar i had seen around before
this is a test run grow to decide if i can do a g13 haze strain
i have played around with growing but i have never made it into flowering, for many unlucky reasons lol
i will need a lot of help when that time comes around

thats where i got mine...i think its the actual mylar company...got it quickly comes in rolls and doesnt have ne creases and whatnot...and its ALOT thicker so check that stuff out if u decide u want the real stuff it works great. ya i hear ya on the test run...thats where im at to...good call on the lights just make sure u keep the lights where the plant can stretch alil to get to the light otherwise ur plants will end up short and stalky like mine...which i didnt really want to happen lol. `looks good tho man keep me upd8ed

ok pic update
it has been a total of 35 days on the bigger one nicknamed "bob"
i tried supplying bob with some nutes and there was wat looked to be an onset of neut burn so i watered him/her out
much happier now
also i am building a custom room for the two seedlings and prob. transplanting them today into their own pots

hopefully bob is a girl
