The computer one, right? I'd say another six months and I'll be able to try that myself; this old beast has about had it. I was worried about noise from the inline fan, but once I got set up, I realized I couldn't hear it over this dinosaur of a computer!

if you hang your fan with a bungee cord you get les vibration less noise

DAY 7:
Woohoo! Time for the traditional day seven photos! You've seen 'em all before, nothing that interesting, except these are MINE, so I guess I'm bit impressed. These selfish girls refused to even share the same birthday, so it's actually day six, seven or eight, depending on which plant you're looking at, and at this stage, it's pretty obvious which is which. I always feel sorry for the little one, thinking it's falling behind, but sure enough, the next day, it's as big as the middle one was the day before.

gunna tag along here too as i dropped a sour crack around the same time as you. looking tidy at the moment but dwarfed by the think different next to it after just 2 weeks from seed.
The first heatwave of the season hit late last week. Today was supposed to be the last of the 100 degree+ weather (although the 90s stretch out endlessly), and the plants look fine. Peak temp in the tent was 91, so it could have been worse.
I have no problem with fan noise at all. In fact, I bought one of those silencers and didn't even bother installing it. The tent is in my bedroom, but even with the fan and light running, I still have to turn on my floor fan for my white noise fix. Of course, according to the meter on my variac, the fan is only operating at half power. Still looks like the thing's going to suck the walls right off of the tent, though!

Hey brother. Im definitely joining in on this good fun. I like that you filled in your back ground of growing cannabis as well.
My first first plant before I actually took the plunge into actually growing. I stuck a seed in some mirical grow, under a low wattage CFL. Thinking that and some cardboard with tinfoil was enough XD. That was around 8 years ago. Didnt know what I was doing. Just had some seeds and was curious.
Glad to see you got a nice setup for your first grow. WAY better then how I made my start one here.
Looking good so far. Im sure they will battle through the heat ok. I had to deal with a small box + CFL's + 2, week long heat waves of 90's to100. My plants made it through.
How is your humidity? Thats one thing that comes to mind that would need watching.
Taking from your first post. You live in one of the new recreational stats and or DC..which is more humid then my weather. So, its probably not a concern like it is with me during a heat wave.
GL my friend.

You know, the one mistake I see noobs on here making time after time is this: something goes wrong, so they post that something went wrong and here's what they did. That doesn't really make use of the resources here, does it? If you knew what to do, you wouldn't be a noob!!! Well, guess who's making the same mistake? Durrr..... So, I'm going to nip this in the bud (hmmm...bad term here) and ask now before I screw up more.
Here's the deal: I thought my soil was fine. When I watered last week, I got my water to 6.4 before I used it. However, when it came out, I figured I might as well test it. The run off was 5.1! Correct me if I'm wrong, but this means my soil is seriously acidic, correct? I watered again today (the heat wave took it's toll there!). I got this silly idea that using more base water would raise the soil. Water in was 8.9; run off was 6.4. Doing the math confirms the first result, but obviously I need something else to raise the pH of my soil. (Next time, I'll take care of this BEFORE dropping seeds; unfortunately., I was too new to realize this would be a problem.) Any ideas on how to deal with this problem and save the grow?

It's good to see you here; thanks for jumping in! Low humidity will be a problem for me more than high I'm afraid. I'm in Oregon, but I'm on the stupid side of Oregon (those who live here know what I mean!), hot and dry.
