  4. Week 6 of flower:
    Things are still going well overall. I did run into one little problem though...Spider Mites. I discovered them last week. I've been using essential oils and pepper spray to combat them. Other than that, things seem to be doing fine.

    I used an LED overhead light to get some decent pics last night.

    The buds are starting to get a little bigger and denser. Trichomes are starting to develop. They're looking better the longer they grow!! Lol.

  6. It's not bad yet. I'm wanting to do a perpetual grow soon so now I'm gonna have to wait till after harvest and clean the tent and the room really good before I start another grow to hopefully wipe the bugs out!!

    Thanks! The tallest ones stand about 40" tall. They definitely stretched. They started out around 24".

  9. Aww I gotcha, well keep up tuned in with more up dates! Looks like its guna pan out well for you
     
  10. Thanks. I'm hoping it turns out well. I'm just taking it a day at a time. Hopefully in a few weeks, I'll have some quality smoke. I'm gonna try some cloning and try to set up a perpetual grow soon, hopefully on the next round.

  15. I'm gonna get a larger reflector but it'll almost for sure be an air cooled hood.

  17. Thanks. I'm pretty excited for harvest. It shouldn't be too much longer now. Just a few weeks.

    I got the smallish iPower air cooled hood I have now because it was cheap and I was trying to save money when I set this up. In the future I'm gonna get a bigger hood for the HID and probably some LED's for veg lighting and possibly side lighting and corner coverage.
     
  18. That's what I used for veg on this grow and probably what I'll use on the next grow. I do want to try some quality LED's in the future. Probably quantum boards or a custom made light.
