As the title implies, I've gained more knowledge and experience that will help me succeed this time around. I actually did a second run after my first time, so this is my third run. Due to being super busy, I decided not to document the previous one. I wish I had though - I ended up with two pounds per my one light, which is a far departure from the one pound I got on my first try.
I'm using the exact same setup and soil composition as before - which can be seen in my previous thread:

Only thing I've done differently is actually veg and stake my plants properly - that was my biggest mistake the first time. That was due to a lack of information though - not laziness on my part. Oh, and one more big important addition - lady bugs!!! To get rid of that awful mite problem that perpetually comes in on my cuts. They work wonders- and are cute to watch too!
You'll notice about 3 smaller plants in the pix - that was because my friend who helps me out with the cuts effed up and shorted me a few plants. I had to scramble to get them last minute, and I even vegged two weeks longer than usual to get the stragglers big enough. They did grow considerably in my care, but obviously they're not as big as the others. Oh well, I just have to hope they stretch in these next couple weeks because I simply don't have anymore time to wait. This week I plan to give the girls a haircut - it's hard for me to do, but I have to cut more off from the bottoms. I'm tired of trimming little turdlettes, plus I think the buds on top will be of higher quality if I just get rid of the bottom 1/3rd of the plant. So, here goes! Hope you all follow along on my adventure. As always, I'm open to comments and advice.
