Welcome Doc! Thanx for the compliments everyone!
Things are looking good. I just watered (first of flush), so I should have room in the flower chamber in 2-3 weeks.
Seedling are doing well except for one. I only have two clones left. One looks bad(yellow).
The other; which is a large top in a light nutrient solution in a small glass; is doing well.
I got a free sample of the sure to grow ( white cubes). So far I'm not impressed. Seeds seem to germinate slower and clones don"t appear to take as well as rockwool. I'll give it another chance though. Since this is my first time using it.
I plan on posting pics tomorrow.
Works great! I used to come home to a wall of dank; now no smell.
Thanx. I was going to use pantyhose, but found this and thought it would be cooler....and more manly. LOL

Welcome dakota, your plants are looking great!
I hope I have the same success!
Yea, Pit, NL5 is the best but I think these are just regular NL.
Well, another seedling bit the dust. That leaves me with 6, one of which is quite a runt.
I also got rid of the clones. They just weren't happening.
In the flower room, it's confusing. Every time I look at the trics, I reevaluate which plants will be ready first and when. I may be harvesting one or two soon. If I can free up some space, I can put the transition plant under the HPS, so it can finally develop some buds. So far, it has only pretty much shown flowers, but no development. The two hold backs are looking well after their feeding yesterday. Also feed the seedlings, which look good, except for the runt.
It may be the next to go. I will update pics soon.

Hey, estranged! Welcome aboard!
I wish I could put them outside! But, I live in the middle of the city. I do have a country friend who has an outdoor garden, though. I wonder if he has any space.
The room is a closet 4 1/2'Wx2'Dx8'H. There is a shelf at 6' high and a rod below that. So, I actually have about 4 1/2' of vertical space. I hope they'll fit!
The fan is a cheapo 170cmf 4". But, it works fine for me!
Here are some new pics.

Looking good from what I can see.
You might want to cover up the hydroton in your waterfarm.

Good growing brother. Are those the Sure to Grow blocks you are using? The newer supposedly better version of rockwool? How they working for you? pH inert? they hold together nicely? Easy to control moisture? Susceptible to algae? What are they made of or what does it feel like they are made of? Looks like cotton or something but I've never handled one.
ya i dont know about them fitting in there then,, they must be what 3' tall now??
can't really tell in the pics ,, so i could be way off,,
but you could always remove the shelf maybe,, or tie them over i guess too,,
no probs ,, you'll make it work,, but outside man they would sure produce i bet,,
that like a 170cfm bathroom fan/inline/other?? i got a 250cfm inline ,, but it sure looks wimpy,,lol,, i think its just a booster fan or something and really just a peice of shit,,lol,
i need to find something quick,, not $200 tho either,,

Welcome, pan4! What can I cover the hydroton with that will let the nutrient solution flow through?
Welcome, McBuds! The sure to grow is recycled plastic, and it feels like cotton. It,s ph neutral.They do not hold water very well. The moisture stays in the dense top layer, and it will grow algae. All 3 clones and one seedling in the stg have failed. The water farm seedling is the only stg surviver. These seem like pretty standard results. I'm not really impressed, but I would like to hear a more experienced growers assessment. It was a free sample pack from the hydro store. I have some left that I will use, but I don't think I will be buying any more. I still have plenty of rockwool cubes.
Hey, estranged! I hope I can control the hight issue! lol
This is the fan I have.
It's an Ecoplus brand, and cost 80 bucks.
Hey, pit! It seems to be doing better, but I'll definitely consider your suggestion!
Thanx for all the great comments, questions, and advice! Keep 'em coming!
I'll post pics later today.

Thanx, estranged. Good luck to you!
Well, the runt wasn't happening. So, I got rid of it. The other seedlings are coming along nicely. I'll be transplanting soon. The two hold backs and the transition are about the same as last pics. I went to bed real early yesterday, so the transition female was in the light all night. I put it in the dark closet this morning, and will take it out tomorrow morning. Hopefully it won't reveg too bad. It certainly doesn't need to get any bigger! Here are the pics.
In the flower room the tall plant and the big one are almost ready to harvest. Only a week or two.

Your plants are looking good tricome.
Just cover the hydroton with black plastic I wish you would kill the algae then you don't have to worry about covering the hydroton.

Thanx, guys!
Pan, I saw your post in Southernweed's grow. I think I'll get some of that algae control. You just add it to the water per directions, right?

Yes that's right just follow directions. It has saved much grief.
