In order to grow good weed you need to be part carpenter, electrician, plumber, biologist, geneticist, chemist, and very willing to get dirty.
I've been working with power tools since I was 8, my dad is an electrical engineer who owned a 280 gal fish tank, and I studied biology with a specialty in genetics. Getting dirty comes naturally. I think my parents inadvertently trained me to be a weed grower.
See what you think on my first try.

Nice work fella's!
Looks like all our girls are coming along nicely 
Wire5. Looks like you'll be able to start feeding nutes soon.
Mine are a little bit behind yours. What nutes will everyone be using with their ladies?
I've been looking at the Dutch Master range, although I have also considered going organic

Another reason i like a grow log is that it gets me a bit more into other peoples grows and reinvigorates my interest in this plant. It's neat to compare and contrast with other growers who are at the same development level with their plants.
I'm going to use Floranova.

I agree Furrowed. I get bored and I sit here and read these things all night. Curse a late second shift.
And my first feeding will probably just be fish emoulsion maybe some shultz just to get the used to it (and to keep it all on the same schedual). I'll probably also go to the hydroponic store and see what I can pick up to feed them. I'm not sure which one I'll get so I'm completely open to suggestions. I've read a lot of people use the FF ones (though which of the three I should get) and I've heard good things about floranova. I'm looking for something cost effective and not too complex. Don't want to fuck things up yah know.

haha, i wish i could get back into doing that myself, reading all these logs. I look them all over usually though. Fox Farm's Ocean Forest is a good one i see people recommend a lot. IDK jack shit about soil growing, unfortunately.
On 10/24/11 I upped the PPM's from 120 to 260, using floranova's grow formula. Then last night I left the water on all night. It was left on 8 of the ten plants. I've added a water diverter to the tray that is set to water 8 plants. I don't have it on a timer yet. I need a little diverter thing that has ten outlets, rather than the 8 this one has. So I am having to water two of the plants separately after the other 8 are watered. it kinda sucks. So i can't have that. i'll have to get one that has ten outlets.
Overall the little plants are doing pretty well. They have grown a LOT over the last 48 hours or so. I hope they're building up a nice root base. here's the pictures.
Day 14!

I must admit it does look a little retarded lol
Other than that, they seem to be coming along great!
You might wanna start adding nutes in about a week or so.
Your not far behind my plants, and mine have just started running in a nute deficiency. Nitrogen I think 
Just fed last night with some fish emulsion, hopefully that'll fix em
If not, I'll order another bunch of seeds and do it right this time. I was so impatient so pop em, even though I didn't have all the required equipment. What can I say?  I'm impatient lol

I'm keen to see how your heavy duty fruity comes out.
I ordered a pack of 10 seeds. They were bloody expensive IMO lol, I hope for your sake as well as mine that they are worth it.

patience my friends. I went out of town yesterday morning. I just got back and the growth from the last 30 hours or so has been incredible. I can't wait to take and share the pictures on wednesday.

these bitches (hopefully) are looking fabulous! There's only one issue i've seen and it's on the weird plant mentioned above. It's just a little serration of the leaf that is yellow. i wish i could update this more but time is of the essence. these pictures aren't labeled with the plant as im in a hurry to get this done and be gone. sorry, next week's update will be more impressive, im sure of it!
Pictures!

so, i've been thinking today about a grow tent. I must get one soon. for a lot of reasons. i want to provide a completely dark environment for them first of all. then i also want to be able to contain and control the odor (not to mention the light both ways). I can already smell the plants. Sooo, im going to go with a secret jardin darkroom II dr120. it's a 4x4 tent. I've done some measurements in my bedroom and I have what i think is a terrific idea. Simply put, i am goign to put the tent between the black stands that's holding the tray and the tray itself. so the tent will be sitting on the black shelves a few feet off the ground. Obviously i am not going to sacrifice that space for a reservoir so this is my alternative. it should work out. i can't wait to get that all set up. im hoping to do all that in the next week or so. today you're all due for an update so here we go. the nutes have been gradually increasing in concentration up to about 430 ppm now. I've also been thinking about switching this to a flood and drain system. my output manifold only has 8 ports and i need ten. i can easily switch this thing to flood and drain in about 5 minutes if i wanted to. i think i will just to try it. but i need to read up more about the frequency of the waterings with the flood and drain. up to today ive been watering these babies once a day for like 30 minutes at a time.
I've noticed a problem on a couple of the plants, mainly the sour bubble plants. i may just get rid of this one in particular. it's growing all funky sideways and is starting to show signs of some kind of malnourishment. I am not too sure what it is and i haven't even looked it up yet. I'll post some pictures of these plants in just a few minutes.

That place was the cheapest I found, greners. it was $237 out the door with shipping. however, i called my local place and told them about the price and all that and they matched it and it'll be here Friday. things are looking good!

the discoloration of appearing slightly yellow in the bottom part of the third and fourth row of pictures is due to the light being flipped up on its back and shining thru the leaves from below. no cause for alarm.

been working a lot with my plants this weekend. my buddy is coming over shortly and we're going to go to home depot and actually build a foundation for this tent. right now it's just the frame sitting on top of the black stands ive been using. i was thinking of something like what is in that video above. seems pretty simple.

during the setup process the plants went way too long without a watering. like 36-40 hours or so wihout a watering. They are showing it right now too. the PPM's were bumped up to 710 and im now doing a flood and drain with the plants. though, im not sure if this method will be something i'll use going forward. i may just need a longer hose and continue with the drip system i had been using. took us a bit longer than expected but we got the stand and the tent built plus i added my other 400 watt light. here are some pictures of the process up to this point....
