Hey 420, I've read most of your journals and I thank you for all the advice and solid information you've offered up. I've got a couple of thoughts/questions, hope I didn't miss any of this in previous pages...
1. Is it possible to retain a sealed environment the way you've drawn it above? (i.e., does the air flow behind the glass on your air-cooled lights and the scrubber to the attic not affect the atmosphere in your room?) I'm thinking that those hoods aren't air tight enough to prevent CO2, etc. from leaving the room... is that right? I'm debating a sealed room and just can't decide which is best for me.
2. Just as a variation I decided to use Rubbermaid 3+ liter pitchers (like this, but not exactly: Rubbermaid 3063 1 Gallon Plastic Pitcher with Lid (FG306300RD)). I like these because they're opaque and very sturdy, and because of the nature of my space the handles will come into use - I have to reach into my space and take out plants for maintenance fairly often. I got a bulk deal at a restaurant supply place, so I don't feel too bad about the extra cost and I'll be able to re-use for a long time - also, my grow is considerably smaller than yours, so far less pots. Your system of soda bottles is great, but I wanted to try something else (and no cutting or painting in my scenario, so I save a couple hours). Just thought I'd share that.
Thanks again, man - I really appreciate your common-sense approach and writing.

But I am very new to growing. Like first timer. And although I have a very reliable and educated people that I have direct help with, I have learned an immense amount of all the knowledge from your journal or people that you have directly effected the way they do things journals. And I 
for that. I am not able to start out right ff the gate, doing this type of grow. But all will come in due time. I just want some moms. But I will say, that the two clone I bought today are nothing but individual colas. And im prayin t the pot gods that mine are even half as good as yours. But one question, since I am letting my seedlings catch up to my clones on veg time. Will the two I bought today, stay the way they are? Or will I have to help?
Its going to ROCK 
!!!!
