Starting my second grow. Have a look at my first grow journal for details. This grow will be using the same setup, same genetics, but fortunately a much higher education level. To be certain, I am still no expert and am sure to learn a ton more with this grow, but the lessons learned in the first grow were tremendous.
As of this morning, the box/room has been scrubbed and prep'd and is ready for the germinated seeds which should be ready with in the next 8 hours or so.
- bottom left rectangle is the active AC'd intake
- upper right rectangle is where I have suspended the air pumps to reduce noise.
Here's a quick look at the cache of nutes that will be used in this grow.

Goals of this grow...
1. Increased Yield
My first grow, while a success in my opinion, did not produce the yield that I was expecting (read details). I ended up with just over 3.5 oz of Northern Lights and roughly 2oz of White Widow. This time, I'll be shooting for ~4oz / plant and plan on accomplishing this goal by
2. Increased Density
Buds from the first harvest were much to fluffy for my liking. Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for that vacuum sealed Mexican dirt we all smoked back in high school, but I would like something with a little weight on it. I don't think 3.5 oz should come close to filling an entire gallon zip lock bag. To accomplish this goal, I will be... doing more research to see how I can accomplish this goal and pray that results for this metric are not dictated by starting genetics.

1. maintaining a much tighter pH range (thus preventing any lockout/burn issues and keeping nute intake nice and steady)
2. vegging for a much shorter period of time (thus not allowing the plants to over grow given the space constraints).
3. listening more closely as my girls tell me what they need.
