Sorry for the lack of updates, the battery in my camera isn't holding a charge anymore. Anyone got a suggestion for a decent digital camera around $100?

... i lost my camera charger, found one on ebay that came w a new battery for under 10$.

Interesting. Thanks for the pics. Are you in a area where vented hoods are not needed? Hows the temps running. Like your work-

Answering a couple questions:

The pot sizes are the 7 gallon fabric square pots. Though they're full of crap with that 7 gallon number, each pot fits 50 liters, which is around 13 gallons.

The magnetic ballasts are most certainly putting out a decent amount of heat, I just don't have anywhere else to put them. Just going to have to plonk in a large enough A/C system to cope.

I don't use vented hoods, the glass cuts light and the bulbs need to heat up to work at 100% efficiency. I prefer to just cool down the whole room with A/C.

The room runs a liquid propane CO2 burner that's set for a low of 800 ppm and a high of 1100 ppm. Temperatures start off at around 80F and slowly climb over the night to around 85F on a night that's decently cool, or closer to 88F on a warmer night. Though that's becoming less of an occurrence now that's it's getting further on into Fall. Humidity is pretty much always under 55%, it drops rapidly once the CO2 burner comes on. Most of the time it's in the 40% area.

The sticky traps don't have anything on them, and hopefully they'll stay that way. But in the past they have worked to pull in unwanted "guests" in the way I have positioned them. I find that anything buzzing, creeping, crawling, or flying ends up attracted to the yellow contrast and whatever is put into the sticky glue.

I forget what pyrethrin foggers I used, just grabbed the ones they had at the local grow shop.

I think I managed to answer every question, hit me up again if I missed anyone. Thanks everyone for following the grow, can't wait until I can flip the room to flower and have something more impressive to show.
