Well Im off to start my first grow journal here on AF. My grow for the next 3 weeks is in the 3ft x 3.5ft closet off our master bedroom. Central air conditioning keeps the ambient temps where they need to be in this hot! August weather. But come September when highs drop into the upper 60's to low 70's then cooler I will be setting up my new 2 x 4 x 5ft grow tent in the attached garage. Using a heater adding some CFL mainly for heat if needed.

As far as previous grows, I've only grown outdoors a few years, 2-3 plants (NL clones (photos) fom a friend) that were already rooted, potted and well established. All I had to do was water and protect from pests. So really we're talking about my first real grow, and it is addicting as anything I've ever done.

I have 1 HBD that is 33 days old now. 1 Devon Maid that is 50 days now, a great strain bred by a friend (plutopete) across the pond (UK). I just sprouted 2 Auto Big Bang by G.H. that are 5 days through and a Dinafem White Cheese Auto, 3 days. 3 Kush VanStitch female beans just came from alibongo which I will be dropping when the DM is done.

I'd like to keep this perpetual, here is what I have so far...
First 2 pics are HBD 33 days, the third Devon Maid which has been great, I just stunted it very bad when it was young. Next are the 2 auto big bang (not looking so droopy now as I had just transplanted them) and finally Dinafem auto white cheese.

This is my first indoor grow of any kind, The HBD and Devon Maid were my starters to get a handle on things.

I apologize for the long post but I've also switched from a 150 watt floralux HPS system from HTG to a 250 watt Sun Systems all in 1 light with the hood and tempered glass.
Also Royal Gold Mendo Mix in 2.3 gallon Airpots, which seem great. Except the HBD, I put that in a 3 gallon bucket with holes drilled. Some Dutch Master Gold grow and flower nutes, and a little molasses and epsom salt when needed.

I have a 4" inline fan and can filter from HTG, I can't wait to start using my tent in a few. Thanks for looking. AS
 
Yeah, so thats the setup. It's cooling down here and I'm thinking of moving the setup into the 2 x 4ft tent in the garage. It will be much more private/convenient. My question is, am I better off adding the 150 watt HPS Floralux next to the Sun Systems 250 HPS? will it give me better coverage. Or am I better off selling both lights and getting a 400w HPS system for the tent. I have plenty of exhaust and intake.
Also I decided to drop 1 of the female KVS today, germinating in PT now.
