Hey everybody it's finally time for me to grow I'll be posting pics tonight of my setup. Don't have any pics of my plants yet considering I just dropped them in organic soil. I've been a 2 year lurker and now it's time for me to contribute back to this community which has helped me learn so much.

I'm growing in a grow tent which has the dimensions of being 4'11'', 4'11'' and 6'11''. I'm using a 250 Watt HPS + MH conversion and a 400 Watt HPS + MH conversion I'll be using the MH for the first two weeks in both systems but I will be growing 12/12 from seed in a Sea of Green style starting with around 40 seeds in 1/2 gallon grow bags which I will hope to get down to around 20-23 plants ideally with my goal being 1 ounce per a plant.

My genetics are 20 Nirvana Ice, 10 papaya, 5 Mazar x Shariff, the rest bagseed picked for genetic traits that I found in the bud I smoked.

My venilation consist of a 4'' vortex fan combined with a 8inch inline booster duct fan and a triple layer organic filter. Also have just got a steal of a deal on a open box 8,000 BTU portable air conditioner for 150$ which I just put into my system last night. I have a temp controller coming today which will tie into my venilation and ac and will control those systems when the temp gets to high or to low.

I want you to tune into this one because it will be perpetual with me taking clones at week two even though I won't be able to determine sex from each plant by then I will by week 3 or 4 of 12/12 from seed and I will rid my chambers of all males at that time unless I find a resinous male which I would keep for breeding purposes. The funny thing is this grow is taking place at my mom's house but she doesn't go into the attic because the stairs are so steep and everything is dialed in so there is no noise I've built muffler boxes for both fans and also have two 4'' duct mufflers which makes the noise pretty much none existent.

I'll be going to RiP soon to hopefully the get in the rangers in October so all growing will have to stop at that time already have stopped smoking this is purely for profit reasons. I plan on doing 4-8 years in the military and then maybe become a LEO and I wll continue growing after that with less risk of being caught and don't worry I won't be arresting any stoners only hard drugs will just be pulling stoners over and telling them to be more fucking careful. If you have any problem with my career decisions you can fuck off :yeahthats but if not I definetly want all advice any experienced and unexperienced growers can give me.
 
Wow you think you can withstand 4+ years of military brainwashing... impressive... We'll see if you come back.

Post some pics of the setup when you can... words don't say everything

Nobody can brainwash me I'll just let them think they have as far as me being able to take it yeah two of my uncles were rangers and there more like me then my own father and they both came out alright. Pics will be tonight my mom is a night nurse so I have the whole house to myself at night which is why I've already been able to get my setup ready and dialed in. I'll always be a stoner at heart just taking a big break as far as that's concerned.

Sorry for the failure to update just got all seeds in tonight was waiting for my temperature controller and just got it into today so I'll be posting pics in 5 days when I have something to show you. I have a dslr and a macro lens so I'll be posting pretty detailed pics. Also haven't gotten in my 8 in. inline booster fan but I'm running the portable more to make up for it temperature is stabilized at 70 degrees with a 5 degree difference that turns my fan and ac on.

Its ALWAYS good to have "inside" guys....Thats gotten me out of more shit than I will admit...

Please post some pics if you have a chance/means...

Thats fucking great your temps are so low in an attic!! I'm on the 2nd floor where I live, Its hard to keep my temps below 85F. Thats fine for small seedlings, thats about it.

I hope your Mazar x Shariff (well everything!!) goes well, that strain is SOOO leafy, It makes a better hash than buds. This is strictly what I read, I have 1 (unsexed) so I typing out my ass, not from experience!! :D

Well to update my thread I ran into some problems I had to leave for a day and the power went out I estimate it was out for around 6-8 hours due to a very severe thunderstorm that cam through the area (temps in my uninsulated attic without the portable running get up to 116-120 degrees where I live. As a result I lost around 20 plants with only 6 plants that made it through I only got to plant 30 seeds 4 were duds. Anyway it looks like I'm going to have to abandon my SOG and go for a full cycle not just 12/12 because I don't have the financials to buy more seeds at the moment, and paypal is holding up 1500$ of mine in my account because I don't have the invoice for a few items I sold on ebay that were gifts utter bullshit. If I can get that sorted out I'll be looking to buy 3 more packs and run 7 from each pack and get my SOG back up.

If not then it will be about 3 weeks before I can buy more seeds due to the cost of all the equipment I brought. I'll be looking for a good mother to make by making clone cuts at week two to sex my plants.

Be careful of fire especially if its an old house with old wiring. In the attic a fire would be a nightmare with all the timber. Smoke Alarm needed up there for Mummy 's safekeeping..
