Your grapefruit plant are looking sweet as f*ck.

I wish i could use hps but i cant because it is a serious heat issue for me.

I know i wont yield as much , but i will give it a bloody good go....lol

Heres another snap of my wee babies.The reason one is bigger than the other is that i germinated one in paper towels and one directly in soil just for experimental purposes.

The one germinated in soil took longer to pop by about 1 day.

no monticriste , i dont have any hydro kit or cash to buyit . I wouldnt know where to start with hydro.

I will stick with the soil just now.

My next task is to build a fan system in the cab just to strengthen these babies up.

peace out..

Just added 2 x 80mm fans to the setup.

One for each plant.

I wired the 2 fans together and have them mounted on bulldog clips.
This is quite cool as you can change the angle of the fan.
They are wired up to a 12v recharg battery , dont know how long this battery will work for but iam testing the time its lasts just now, if the battery method is crap.Then i will re-wire them to a variable power supply.

Some pics....
