Well I wanted to start this journal 10 days ago before I started, but like Island time "everyting soon come" :joint:
It was and still has been a hectic 10 days, with a trip to another island to pick up grow closet and waiting for airport arrivals of bean supplies. The closet has taken some setting up and stabilizing. Temps have been the big problem, living in a climate where average daytime temps are in the 90's and only dropping a few degrees at night; a house with no aircon, its been a problem, but getting on top of it.
so what to grow?
will post next soon

Got ph under control but raised ppm too high, nute burn starting

lookin good RJ!

are you flowering in that space? if not, i'd let them veg another 2-3 weeks if you could.... you'll be rewarded with a nice sized harvest....
 
Thanks Fleshstain
yeah I'm flowering in this space so I'm thinking I might switch to flowering otherwise space could become a problem. What does anyone else think, flower now or hold off another week or so. Pics taken this evening. All advise gladly and willingly received.
