I try to not put too much text into the log but sometimes I get carried away and ramble on. Like above. Went to home depot. 8 or 8:30 pm is a great time to go there. Always get good, easy to find service then. I finally got a green light bulb for night work. They were out of the t joints in all sizes but 1/2 in. So i got that. I will put it together tomorrow. They didn't have 2" poultry mesh so I will go elsewhere tomorrow and get more. I also plan on going to the hydro store and getting mylar and possibly a constant ph monitor. I'd like to have one that measures the tds and water temp in addition to ph. oh i also got some shielded copper wire for the lst. anyway enough text.

Thanks for those kind words! I guess you might be happy to know that I purchased another 400w galaxy ballast and MH and HPS bulbs. I just need to get a reflector and this 400w will turn into an 800w! I also got the frame for the screen set up. It's huge. I am hoping to get a couple lbs out of this one now. I need to crunch the numbers on the power consumptions and all that electrical shit. ballast wont be here for a while so i got time. decided to sell my macro lens as well. I decided to get some litmus paper as well. and a new air stone. it seems to be leaking. I need to fix it up, which shouldn't be a problem. I have set up a small bit of mylar as well. more to come shortly.....

Day 21
It's also 50" tall. You will see the pictures. I will probably cut off a few inches of the pipe. we'll see. Also, just so everyone is aware. I will only update the original post's subject with the date when i post a full update with pictures (saturdays). ppm is at 800 now. I changed the rez and ran a flush through the plants for about 30 minutes. As you can see i also put up mylar. I will finish putting it up tomorrow. For now you can see what i spent the last few hours on. also, i can't fucking remember if i said this earlier. I got another ballast and mh and hps bulbs today which should be here in a week or two. Next i will get a reflector. As you can see in the pictures the plants are growing just as I would expect for a GDP. In case you guys missed it I came across these seeds on craigslist. Some guy in Cali had a posting about selling GDP seeds so i called him up and he sent me these 7 seeds. He showed me a link to his youtube vid of the herb and it looked fucking spectacular. Anyway, here's the pictars!!

Looking good FB
How do you keep the hydro solution cool or do you live in a cool location?

thanks! i actually live in the desert.  we'll the high desert. Our elevation is 5200 ft approx. But it gets up to 100 here in the summer. But I blocked off the vents to the living room area and close the door separating the two rooms so that all the cold air is pumped into the grow room. It stays pretty cool in there. From 69-80.

One of the plants is working on it's 5th node. I think it's almost ready for a choppin. I am going to try to fim this plant. I think i will wait till tomorrow though. I am really curious to see how that goes. I will take pictures before and after I do it. I was planning on doing it to every plant. That or topping them. Any comments on that?

Anyone notice the leaves on the leaf that is in the foreground? The edges are curled upward. I was thinking that was due to heat stress a week or two ago. it hasn't gone away as i thought it would. It hasn't developed on any other plants though.

Weird. Almost looks genetic. Is it happening on all the plants?

That's a sign of heat stress. I don't know why it would only occur in one of your plants though...

I just find it odd. Cause my temps are through the roof most of the time and the leaves never react like that.

that's the only plant that is afflicted with this condition. It's only on a few leaves.

Special Update Day 24
I tried to fim a plant tonight. It is the plant that is farthest along. It was working on it's 6th and 7th node when i circumsized it.
I took a real close look at this picture as I prepared my cut line. I used a pair of small unused scissors. I sanitized them and used gloves. A lot of teks recommend bending a razor to make the cut but i figured i'd just wing it.
^The one I topped (fim) was the the one in the far back left.
 
^You can see the shadow of my finger on the leaf from the reflection of the mylar.

Well after review I have concluded that I cut fan leaves I didn't need to. Next time I will just hit the growth tip. I am not sure if I should do this to every plant or not. Since it's a scrog i don't think any of this HST is really necessary, when I will be doing LST later on. So i am just experimenting. I think i cut it in a pretty good spot. I am hoping for 4 new growth tips.
