Right now i have 5 plants in flower. The strain was a gift from a friend, originally i had about 12 clones but only 5 made the cut. I used a 50/50 mix of OF to LW because OF has proven to be pretty damn hot in the past and i wanted more control over the nutrient uptake. Right now im growing in a 4x4 hydro hut, added an intake fan to improve air circulation and received a free inline fan from a friend to run my exhaust. Temps still manage to remain in the 80's for now, i have a remote AC unit but i hate to run it because it's expensive and requires me to vent more hot air.

Everything has gone pretty smoothly, i flipped the lights when the plants hit about 10-12 inches, in about a week or so they've stretched another 6 at least. Started seeing the beginnings of bud formation of day 3 of flowering, they're now becoming more pronounced and should start filling out here by the end of next week. Already there is a noticeable smell when you open the door to my grow area, you can't smell it in the house but it's instantly apparent when you open the door. Time for a scrubber i guess. Dealt with my first powdery mildew infection. Low temps + poor circulation + high RH * Low growth on the plant = headache. Some neem oil and deft movements from my trimmers killed off the problem for now. A quick dip of the clipped, affected, leaves in bleach killed off the mold spores (on the leaves at least) and a slight dampening of the soil with some neem spray (hopefully) killed off any mold spores on the soil surface. It's been about a week since the infection and i see no signs of the infection returning. I'll keep my fingers crossed :wink:

Not much else to report on, i'll get some pics up later when i have some more time. Things are pretty boring right now because it's so early in the cycle. Give it another two weeks and things will pick up. I got a chance to smoke the final product and if i can get it to look half as nice as the stuff i smoked, i'll be a really happy person come june :laugh:
