  3. Hey man, nice little place. You could do several different things with that space.

    I have a question. How much room do you have vertically? Also have you thought about SCROG? If you are limited height wise, you could bush those things out horizontally. All you need is some PVC, 90 degree fittings, string or rope, and a drill to make holes.

    Also when and how much do you water? You mentioned overwatering but that soil looks drier. Just curious.

  4. Hello! I have 6 ft high..also I water usually every other day..they are just wilting a little, I usually give like 350 ml every other day
     
  5. Okay, sweet! That's going to be fun.

    Another question. Do you live in a home were smell isn't a worry or are you trying to mask it? If so you'll have to have room for a carbon filter and fan. That'll cut into the vertical height as well. So will bigger pots, and the light hanging down. Assuming you are wanting to keep the lights at least 12inches away.

    Good luck and keep us updated. Waiting to see how you set it up.

  6. Smell isn't an issue I am trying to figure out what will be better in the long run..setting it up to take intake and exhaust to accept the carbon filter or not..also its freezing here at night and last night temp stayed at 68 degrees in there..but I have a ton of space behind it I can route the intake too..there is shelving on the one side..debating how to best use the area..I will send better pictures hen I am home!! Exciting!!!

    Anyways that's my update, somehow I need to move this to grow journals..can someone help me out with that also? Thanks for looking

    Edit: they were dry so I watered with 250 ml each 6.5 Phd water

  11. Thanks friend, It's the Mars hydro 144x5 watt reflector..for my budget it seems right on the money..we will see how it goes.my actual grow space at the moment i can keep in a little bigger than a 2x3..300 true watts to 6 sq ft is 50w a square foot so hopefully!
     
  12. Nice setup! I couldn't post in the grow journal section because of my newbie status, I think. I am not sure how many posts you have to have until you can do that, or if its based on time as a member.
     
  13. Im not sure either..thank you Paxico! I hope it works out well they are 28" below the light we shall see how they respond to it today
     
  14. Looking good man. Now we'll get to see those babies grow.

  15. They might react a bit to the new light, or maybe not. Just pay close attention to the tips of the leaves and if all of a sudden your leaves look like they are trying to stand straight up, that might be a light burn issue. However, 28" is a good place to start. I started at 24", had to move it up because the Super OG Kush was looking funky. Now, I have my lights down between 19"-21" above. I hope I can get it to 18", but we'll see.

  16. Right wooooo!


    And that's what I was thinking, that the light is gonna need adjustments so I just started tall
     
  17. I lowered the light to 24" we'll see how they do

  18. I have my organic soil mixed with 1/4 perlite in 3 gallon buckets..these will be the plants new home 1518388324460.jpg
    The plants felt very light today so I watered and I only watered about 250 ml or so..they are wilting a little.. one of the plants 1 finger leaves were super yellow and so I removed them from it..we will see how they look tomorrow morning 1518388462541.jpg 1518388491570.jpg
    This one has been bending and twisting it's whole life probably from overwatering it to much this passed 3 weeks 1518388581077.jpg
    They don't look too good so maybe I should just let them be for a few days
