    Hey everybody this is mine and my cousin's first grow. We just got our cultivation licenses out here in AZ so its on :hello:

    Sorry for the shitty picture qualities, had to use the camera on my phone.. Should be getting a decent camera soon.

    Everything is in a GrowLab grow tent that I believe is 4x6x9. Should keep all the light out during flowering pretty good I would imagine lol.

    Im growing 4 Purple Kush clones that my buddy gave me off of his mother. He got his mother from a medical club in California. Theyre being grown in 3 gal Smart Pots /w 100% coconut coir. They are being fed for 15 minutes once or twice a day, depending on plant's response. They are currently eating happily at 1050 ppm @ PH of 5.8. They are eating Technaflora's Recipe for U.S Success with added MagiCal and I a plan on adding bloom nutes a week or so before I switch over to 12/12. I plan on training once I get the materials necessary to do so, my car has been in the shop for collision work this past week.

    Currently using a 400w HPS conversion bulb on my HPS ballast /w 2 Full Spectrum LED grow squares for supplemental lighting. When I begin flowering I will switch to a 600w HPS bulb. I have a 30lb Co2 tank that has a regulator that keeps the tent's Co2 ppm constantly above 1400. The Co2 is being fed into the tent behind a fan in the top corner that blows it throughout the tent.

    Day 19
