Alright guys, finally registered as a member of this great community, although I've been lurking around for quite a while now... Big up all the great work!

This will be my 2nd indoor grow, there are 2 Chronic and 1 Bubblegum (both from clone), and basically.... here it is:

I'm growing in a wardrobe 1.2m wide .55m deep and 1.6m high under a 150W HPS and two 200W Envirolights (2700k warm white red spectrum).
I'm using envirolights as heat would be a mjor problem if i had a more powerful HID.

I'm using 15 L pots with BioBizz All-mix soil, and feeding them the Canna range of nutrients ( Terra Vega/Flores, Rhyzotonic, Cannazym and Bio Boost when the time comes...)

As for ventilation, a have a RVK 100 (227m3/h) to extract the warm air out, a few intake holes on which i mounted small computer fans, and a oscillating fan.

Here are couple of pics of the setup:

My lights on temps fluctuate between 26 and 29 C (soz not sure bout Farenheit ), and lights off temps are in between 20 and 24C.

The RH is a bit too low for veg (according to what ive read) : about 30 or 40 %... Hopefully this'll be solved by hanging a wet towell in the area.

Ok, now lets have a look at the babies (the two on either side of the cab are Chronic and the middle one is the Bubblegum)

These are 8 days into veg from clone (the clones were in a bit of stress when i got them):

After reading a lot on here about LST, I decided to go for it myself, since im going to be flowering with envirolights and all... and i have to say, they are loving it, just take l look at the next pics!


These are 9 days into veg from clone:












Some @ 11 days into veg (from clone):

Latest pics @ 16 days veg from clone:
















They've grown much faster than i expected, and the LSting is going great, i think i wont tie them down any more though, think ill just let them grow normally now, theyre already so bushy!
Also, they are starting to stink! Wasn't expecting them to start smelling so early on. Because on the setup and the venting arrangements, im not going to be using a carbon filter but a Vaportek unit (not the Optimum 4000 but the smaller round one).



Anyways, I hope u all enjoy following my grow, any input/advice/comments/critics would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

Nice job in getting your plants to bush out with LST. I'm doing the same & also using those Envitolights for veg. Plants seem to love them.
Good luck the rest of the way.

I don't know much about vaportek's but you should definately get a carbon scrubber, I've got one, and nobody has ever favored against them, I don't know where you are so you probably know better, but this white widow is about 4 weeks into veg., and as soon as I open the door I can smell dank, but with it closed I don't smell anything and it only cost me about $60,

when you lst, is all you do is pull the leaves aside? or even potentioal budsites?

I don't move all of the leaves. I just move the potential bud sites as well as the whole main stalk if it will bend while it's young. Just let the pics do the talking.

Ponics.

I don't favour against carbon filters at all, actually if i could use one I definitely would, i just dont think it suits my setup... here is a sketch of it (lol@art skills):

The vaportek im gettin can be found here : https://www.hydroponic-shop.com/produ...ir%20Purifiers

I'm hoping that if i put it in the small room outside the cab it'll work. It's not too much of a problem for now (although they do smell a fair bit), but as soon as they start flowering...

The only way a carbon filter could work would be to shut all the cab doors to have negative pressure environment, and if i do that, the poor plants'll fry...
I've heard good things about he vaportek 400, so im hoping this smaller one will do the trick (3 plants dont require a machine thats covers 20000sq ft of smell!, at least i hope
