Hello all,
I have been reading these forums for a while and decided to start my own grow diary even though I'm nearing harvest (round 2 coming up soon). After losing my job last year and having a forest fire take most of our rural area but missing our home, we decided to take advantage of no longer having close neighbors and do our own medical grow. We don't get good sun here, so we started with a 4x8 tent, but I quickly decided to make use of an old woodshed and rebuilt it into an 8x16 grow room.
I am using LED lights for veg and flower.
The real troubles started when we had our first insect invasion in the area. I had my new flowers going and was suddenly infested with root aphids. This caused a lot of stress on the plants, and I'm sure I would have ended with better results without them, but I decided to just do my best to limit them and finish the run. Rove beetles, predator mites, and Beauveria bassiana cut down the numbers drastically though.
The Purple Punch and Punch Breath are both coming down this week, and I have to move the MAC and Triple Chocolate into the tent to make room for the veg plants to get into flower.
Sorry about the lights on in the photos - these were just taken for my own reference. I'll try to get in and take good pics tonight.

Veg tent nearly a month ago - overgrown already.
I did pull the sickly one and have it going strong again in my clone area where I can give it attention.
