Decided to re-arrange a little bit again. I swapped the 96 watt T5s with the 125 watt CFL and changed the T5 bulbs to 3000k. The plants are getting close to harvest time. The veg plants are a little behind schedule but it is okay since i have those unknown seedlings in there for a small secondary crop. - VEG - Grown under a 125 watt CFL(6400K) & a 200 watt CFL(6400k) - Total of 17500 lumens - BLOOM - Grown under 2 216 watt T5's(each a 4 ft X 4 bulb, 3000k) & a 96 watt T5(2 ft X 4 bulbs, 3000k)- Total of 48000 lumens - Strains: Sensi Star, Great White Shark, White Widow, New York City Diesel, Purple Kush & 3 Unknowns - Soil, Nutrients & Additives: Fox Farm's Ocean Forest Mix, Fox Farm - Grow Big, Big Bloom & Tiger Bloom, Superthrive, pH Down, Xtreme Gardening - AZOs, MYKOs, and CalCarb

How to Maintain Your Urban Farm
The idea of farming right at the comforts of your own urban dwelling captured the interest of many people. A lot of urban households have adopted this idea and started to put up their own mini farms at home. Setting up an urban farm is pretty easy as long as you have the necessary stuff needed. You'll only need some pots, soil, seeds, and of course a space enough to accommodate your pots or plant beds. The space doesn't have to be large since it is in an urban setting which is quite limited in space. Once you have set up your mini farm, the next thing that you have to do is to maintain and take care of it
Maintaining an urban farm might not be easy for some. You really have to be patient and consistent in taking care of your farm so that your plants would grow beautifully. As they say, maintaining a garden or a farm is a labor of love. So let me share to you some tips that could help you maintain your farm.
First of all, it is important to water your plants regularly. As your plants grow, they will need more water to keep itself hydrated and healthy. Here's a tip, avoid watering your plants while the sun is up. It is advisable to water your plants at night or before the sun rises. Watering your plant while the sun is up would just evaporate the water. The plant can't absorb water if it's humid and if the temperature of the environment is high. It is also important to weed your plants regularly. It is important to pull the weeds as early as you see them so that it won't tangle the plant. Fertilizing is also another task that you have to do. It is best to make your own fertilizer by making a compost, but if have no time to do that, you could just buy commercially available ones.
Maintaining a garden need not be looked upon as a tedious chore. The tasks may seem daunting for some but it really is an enjoyable thing to do especially if you love what you're doing.

1st Update 2011
Happy New Years. On 1st note: I reverted all my numbers back to 1(eg. WW #7 become WW #1). This is to keep track of how many plants of this strain I have grown for the year. The flowering plants are getting very nice and plump. I expect to harvest most of these plants at around 9-10 weeks. They will be fed for one last time tomorrow and will be on plain water the last 2 weeks. I prune the vegetative plants to get them to bush out. -VEG - Grown under a 96 watt T5(2 ft X 4 bulbs, 6500k), a 200 watt CFL(6400k) - Total of 18000 lumens - BLOOM - Grown under 2 216 watt T5's(each a 4 ft X 4 bulb, 3000k) & a 125 watt CFL(6400K) - Total of 47500 lumens - Strains: Sensi Star, Great White Shark, White Widow, New York City Diesel, Purple Kush & 3 Unknowns - Soil, Nutrients & Additives: Fox Farm's Ocean Forest Mix, Fox Farm - Grow Big, Big Bloom & Tiger Bloom, Superthrive, pH Down, Xtreme Gardening - AZOs, MYKOs, and CalCarb

Earn More Cash on Farmville
Farmville is a very popular application on the social networking site, Facebook. With this application one can have a virtual farm and you get to manage the daily activities of the farm which involves reaping and planting crops, rearing animals etc. Many people get addicted to the application when you start playing it as it does not let you get bored for a second also. It is very strange but many people want to go and check their farm several times to ensure how are the crops growing and you can harvest them. There is a fact about the game that it is easy to earn coins whereas it is not that easy to earn farm dollars and cash.
When one plays the game there is a tab, "Add Farm Coins and Cash". When one clicks on it you will find that here on Farmville you have the offers which are available on other sites through which you can make money online. The difference lies in the fact that they will not pay you real money, they instead pay in Farm cash. One can fill a few offers and then see what all they can add on the farm. One can get the opportunity to add a pond, Manor and other things and you can increase the levels also.
One can earn farm dollars and then spend them after earning through this offer. There are many people who will want to know that how can these offers be availed and the form filled. One does not need to spend any money when filling the forms. One should avail the offers which are free like surveys and quizzes, where you earn cash for free and climb the levels in the application of Farmville and buy more things.
