I am a new Medical Patient and started my first grow 1/24/11. That is the day I dropped 5 Blue Mystics and 5 Northern Lights sprouts in the dirt after spending 12 hours in a mug of Reverse Osmosis H2O. On 2/7/11 I dropped 2 Aurora Indica sprouts in the dirt and 1 was popping out this AM, the other looks like it is coming up as I type. I am allowed 12 plants and I should have planted them all at the same time but I didnt so I live and learn. I chose those strains as I am growning indoors and they are all indica and flower in 7-9 weeks. I also read that Blue Mystic and Nothern lights are both fairly neutral smelling and Aurora Ind is supposed to have a fruity, earthy smell so I am hoping that I can keep the smell down.
I have my grow area broken down into 2 rooms that are inside of a small, locked storage room. My Cat's litter box is in there (Indoor cat) and some other supplies but that is about it. The first room you walk into off the storage room is the veg room, it is 7 x 7, secured by an exterior steel door, locked of course, with a 4 bulb T-5 and an 8 bulb T-5 for lighting and a 20x4 phat filter to limit odor upon exhaust. The next room is also secured by an exterior steel door, locked and sealed pretty tight to keep odor in and light out when girls are sleeping. I have 2 1000w HPS lamps in this 5 foot by 13 foot room that also happened to have my Reverse Osmosis system int there from when the house was built and my sump pump in the corner. Sump pump could help or hurt me, time will tell. I have a 24x6 phat filter in this room which will exhaust under my deck which is on the west side of my house so if any odor does get out it is 80 feet or so to my neighbors yard downwind for it to disapate. I have a 6000 BTU CO2 generator hooked up to natural gas so I do not have to lug tanks with my bad back. I have a day / Night control unit to keep track of my RH, temp and CO2 PPM. There is a little drying room too which is off the flower room approx 2and 1/2 wide by 18 inches deep with bifold door.
Strains - Blue Mystic, Northern Lights, Aurora Indica.
All Indica flower in 7-9 weeks.
Just begining vegetative stage
Indoor grow
Fox Farm Light Warrior Seed Starter
Lights - Veg (2) T-5 Flower (2) 1,000 HPS
Pot size 3inch to start, 1 gallon to veg, 7 gallon to flower
Temp of rooms - Veg room around 70-75 with lights on.
- Flower room I can keep 70-78 with lights on, right now with off it will drop into 50's if the lights were on the night before. (been under 10 degrees F outside the last couple night though. In the summer with no lights on it is 60-70 degrees in flower room.
I plan on using General Organics Fertilizers.
I kept my first 10 plants under an 8 inch dome for the first week and then I was afraid my girls were getting elongated so I took them out and lowered the lights. When under the dome I kept the temp 77-85 and humidity between 35-65. I tried to keep between 78-82 and 40-60% but it is tough as you know. I think I kept the light too low after I took them out of the dome as some of the NL have ridges on the leaves and they are curling down a bit. So today I stuck 4 Blue Mystics and 4 Northern Lights back under the dome with my 2 new Aurora plants that are popping today, I could not fit all 12 under the dome. I also noticed 1 BM has some brown on the leaves. The other 2 plants, 1 BM and 1 NL are outside of the dome and the temperature is around 70-77 degrees and the RH is 22-35% or so. I run a little portable humidifier in there but it only lasts 5 hours and then shuts down.
I have gotten a lot out of this website and really appreciate the info I have gotten from all of the contributors and staff. I keep coming back to this site as it is the best I have found and so I decided to get the most out of my grow I need to get an account and participate. I am Gr8ful fo any advice and guidance you can give me, I will definitley post pictures as soon as I can get my stuff together.

Have been eying the blue mystic for a bit now. Have already grown the Northern lights and my buddy grows the aurora indica under a 400 watt hps. The lumatek ballasts dangling on the wall make it look sick. love the set-up. I usually start administering nutes after i get my second set of three prong leaves to start laying down. I also consider that the end of seedling stage and the beginning of vegetaion. I start foliar feeding around the same time. 
on the grow hope i can help. I'm subscribed.
