@@jcbud,
Thanks! I have a jewelers loupe coming today so I can check the trichomes. They're fattening up now and I've been flushing them with filtered water for the past week. I'll update my diary with new pictures.
As for your heat, I tried a couple things that helped but wasn't perfect. If you can, turn up your exhaust fan so the heat doesn't build up and, carefully, switch your light schedule to night time if you're running a decent light system. 82* isn't so bad....92* is when I started freaking out and running around looking for something...anything...to protect my babies. I ended up cutting a couple holes in the lid, one for an intake fan and the other as an exhaust port, then filled the cooler with ice. It raised the RH about 5 points but didn't do anything for the temps.
Now that I've gotten my feet wet with this grow, I'm going to try staggering my grows and strains to keep getting new bud every 2-3 weeks. I'm germinating the next batch now (all ILGM autos - Bubblegum, Jack Herer and OG Kush. The next batch will be Pacific Seed Bank autos - Big Devil, Black Jack, Fruity Pebble OG (FPOG), and some Maui Wowie for a trip down memory lane. And I'll start a new GD to document that.
Good luck with your grow! I'll check it out too.
