Having just had 6 major operations in the last 6 months and 10 before that in the previous 8 years my Consultants suggested that I look for 'alternatives' because Morphine and Tremadol just weren't touching the nerve pain 
I eventually worked out what he meant i.e. cannabis!! Got hold of some from a friend of mine who grows it, tried it, it worked a treat. It didnt stop the pain but allowed me to cope with it! So I looked into growing my own, got myself a 2mx2mx2m bud box grow tent, as I saw advertised on the internet. 4 x 600 sodium lights, 4" inlet fan and a 6" outlet fan. Bought 10 Critical Kush & 10 Pineapple Chunk seeds, expecting to kill them as I can't even grow watercress!! And to my shock I now have 14...35 day old very healthy plants!!! I put on the 4 sodium lights for the first time and realised really quickly that there was a lot of heat there! I changed tack a bit and bought a T5 which has been wonderful and now have gone and bought some 2 x HELIOS 6 LED's from LED Hydroponics. The guy there has been amazingly helpful and they are up and running and doing well. The plants seem to love them and there is no heat. I am thinking about putting them into flower now but would appreciate any advice. The pineapples chucks are ranging from 14-18" in height but the Critical Kush are about 10-12" in height but very dense. As I said they are 35 days old and having read a lot of articles on Autoflowering that is the route I would like to go down. Any advice on how soon I could flower them would be gratefully appreciated 
Growing in soil, my own mix; Bat poo, compost, perlite and sand....they seem to be happy. I over watered them at first!! but have learnt since then they prefer to feast and famine. I should really get rid of some of them but they are as close to me as my pets now??? Any advice would be welcome.
