Greetings AFN family,
After months of lurking in the shadows, soaking up as much knowledge as I could retain, it's time to thank you all for the trials and tribulations that were endured in order to pass on the wealth of knowledge that is available on this site.

In No way am I saying my journey is complete(by no means it's only beginning), all I know is it's been 30 days since birth and my ladies are still living!!!!...I'm estastic about that because I have no clue as to what I am doing, so in my own mind as delusional as I might be lls feel like I am off to a good start. Despite the many little hiccups I've encountered thus far, I'm still here and the ladies are too! and hopefully now that I've made proper aqaintance with the family yall won't hesitate to chime in wherever seen fit because I just want to learn.

Here's where they like to spend most of their time

• 3'x6'x6' custom cab
• 2x Mars 96x5
• 600 watt mh/hps
• I have an separate enclosure attached atop my cab housing my 440 cfm fan and 6" carbon filter( riding the idea to confine more of the hot air produced as it rises to the top) shout out to whose idea I'm piggybacking off of "You know who you are"
• I have (1) 6" Clip fan and (1) 12" oscillating fan
• 5 gallon dwc with AN pH perfect 3 part and some of the additives, hydrogaurd, and GH cal-mag
• elemental solutions 1157 gph airpump to (2) 2" cylinder airstones

Dang man that's awfully brave for your first grow. Looks like you've got everything pretty well dialed up..except one thing... Space lol. That tent is gonna be very full here shortly. Do you really have 6 5 gallon buckets in that tent? You are one brave dude! My one DWC is almost taking up my 4x4 tent. I gotta follow along here and see how this plays out. I don't know much but if I can help at all I will

My bravery is a subjective opinion lol, I'll chalk it up mostly hopefulness and a somewhat safety net. I realize that if things go well spacing will get almost non existent, The way I figured is if I at least start off a few different ladies I have a better chance at getting at least one to harvest...and as far as things looking dialed in, SHEESH if only you knew! This grow has been a roller coaster so far, ive battled root rot, cal mag issues, over and under watering, too strong nut mixes, my pump went out for a night without me noticing and I might be still leaving out something that has went terribly south with this project.

Haha and I thought 3 plants in coco in my 3x3 was a jungle. At least you have a bunch of experience with different problems now. Thats how I try to look at all my many grow failures lol. Your girls look pretty good all things considered.
