Good morning (afternoon) all you little Gods gardners. Hope all is good n green in your personal gardens of Eden
I've just put the MH in so I'm giving it an hour before checking temps etc. I also fired up my 6" intake fan so there's now fresh cool clean air coming into the tent I've set the MH 500mm above the girls so they "should" be okay with that. One thing I am struggling a bit with is RH......it's fairly constant around 38.....should I raise it? If so how? I've filled a drip tray with tap water and put in the tent to try to up it a bit. Suggestions please

Just lowered the light, it's now 300mm (12") from tip of bulb to top of pots. Tmp is steady (ish) around 79o and RH at 37.

Mate not entirely sure as haven't used MH myself but that seems like it could be a tad to close for such young girls? just a thought wouldn't want you to cook em lol. I'd ask cultivator maybe my friend!

 

[OZ BRIT]

I't doesn't feel too hot mate but I'll ask cult now. Cheers your Greeness

Just keep a close eye out for that leaf curl bud
Even with the air cooled hood 12" was too close for me (400w mh)

u want it abtleast double that height to start, the intensity can be too much for seedlings, nore light isnt always a good thing.

get a humidifier if ur humidity is that low, it should be around 50-60rh at this point. u could try soaking some towels and putting them in there or make a washing line, hang the towel with a tray at bottom with water in and allow the towel to wick the water up. that will be more effective than putting bucket of water in.

Ok guys, a few pics as promised. Because I'm SO FOOOKING dumb, I don't know how to comment on them lol
Basically, to update you, I've fitted the 400w MH and fired it up. Being a total knob a put it 500mm above the girls then lowered it to 300mm above (heat seemed ok). Luckily Cult put me right and I've put it back up to 550mm Can't wait to see how they like it
