Welcome to the world little ones!!! Congrats bro!!

I would let them grow quite a bit before putting them under that much light. When you do put them under it turn your ballast down at first. That way they dont get light stress. A lot of growers on here don't turn them all the way up until flower. If your using it for veg I'd run it 50%-60% then crank her up to 100% or 110% in flower if your ballast has that option.

The ballast I have has a knob with 4 settings... 600w, 750w,1000w and super lumens.

Picked this up today.

I need to get or make an adapter to fit the light.

 

[Orlando Scout]

Nice buy bro! I have the same inline fan just 1 size bigger, that light & ballast you got should help get you some monster colas.

Ph control kit should be here sometime today.

 

[Orlando Scout]

Geez your going to be ready to grow some monster's bro! Just remember when starting your plants with the new light start at 600w and work your way up helps with stress.

Anything else I should get for the grow room?

 

[Orlando Scout]

There will always be something more you can do to a grow room haha.....but seriously looks like you're good to go.

I'm running 1 light for both girls, I noticed that they curve toward the light. Should I run a light directly above each 1? Second pic shows how its bending.

 

[Orlando Scout]

Ya I would that way they grow a straight sturdy stem. That's a good sign though for sure shows they wanna grow and reach that light. Looks like she has quite a bit of stretch to her try to get the light as close as possible without burning. You should be able to get pretty close. I have 4 little ones under a 240w t5 ho and keep them between 8-12 inches with no problem.

I will add another light tomorrow.
