First grow{up coming soon}

[StonerGrower]

Relax man calm down, everything will be ok =]
Ok reality is your not going to get 20 females to grow under a 400 watt HPS. Dont get me wrong, of course you can do it, but its not going to turn out the best yield neither. I believe the minimum is 2000 lumens per square foot. Yield will mainly depend on YOU, the strain, and the care she gets. Theres no telling how much you will yield yet.

thanks StonerGrower...i mean ur rite hopefully 10..just wondern if less at the same size will get me more..but if u think 10 will grow just fine with a decent yield then cool...jus was thinkn that if i jus did 4-6fm it would b a better ending for me...cuz more lumens per plant

 

[StonerGrower]

Ok listen, I have a 1000watt HPS and I only grow 10 plants under it at one time. But thats just me. If I had a 400watt I would probly only put 4 under there. I Rather get more out of a couple, then get less out of more.

 

[getsumkin]

thanks.. im going to add sum 45watt cfl to it wen i need them...that help so the 100 watt per plant rule....c u said jus what i was thinkn to many for 400watt...ill jus let them b and weed out the male wen sexn them.......so if i do get ten..ima jus add 10 45watt cfl to the setup to help out....just checkd and 14 have pop therw the dirt...we on the way..

[getsumkin]

[StonerGrower]

You have one main problem. The cups your growing in are translucent...Get some different ones, the roots should be in TOTAL darkness. Optimal humidity during veg is 50-60%. When it comes to flowering humidity should be as low as possible to avoid mold.

 

[getsumkin]

ok thanks alot..i will do that today..mayb wit ductape..lol mayb jus get red ones..sum say 20-30 humitiy is fine..but ima get a humidifier

 

[StonerGrower]

You could set a cup/bucket/bowl full of water in the room.

 

[getsumkin]

well the light finally came today..
so ill post pic wen I set it up..
the lil baby r lookn fine

 

[getsumkin]

ok well here they are

i have a td-100x INLINE FAN PULLIN AIR IN
temp is 86..light is 3feet above...ino thats to high but i have a heat issuse..im tryn to keep to temp down so i can put the light 15-18in away...
ne suggestion...i may need a lil a/c...my light is a 400watt mh..no cooling tube or glass

You dont want to be pushing air into the room, you want to pull all that hot air out of the top of the closet. Just turn that inline around the other way. That oscelating fan could give the seedlings too much stress if it's hitting them too hard, try angling it up a lil more. Grow room looks nice and clean, thats a very good thing, as you dont want critters or mold getting to your babies. You def want to get that big light a lil closer to the plants but you are right not to do that untill you get the heat problem sorted. You can also bring the humidity of the room up with plain old water in a mister spray bottle.

 

[getsumkin]

ok thanks...turn the fan around..i jus did that cuz of the temp...ne one kno where i can get a chiller for my fan.....im thinkn ill get a lil fan to hang by the light to help cool it..ill b putn them in the three gal bag sumtyme taday...they jus came in..there white on the outside and black on the inside...should b fine to go throw flowering

no knockout(circle hole punched but held by a little piece or 2 of metal)
in the other end/side of the reflector?

 

[getsumkin]

the reflector is a three peace..i can take one side off...to let air get out...

 

[getsumkin]

ok so do u think this well work for my heat problem

it has a tempered glass lens...im thinkn it mite work and let me put closer to plants

 

[getsumkin]

ok so iv orderd that euro reflector ...will b here on thursday..but i lower the lite to 20in form the top and temp is 81..but the lil ones like good grew third set of leafs...i put 4 of the orange bean in two days ago and there out the dirt...ill post pic later today.....it will get to hot if i close the door so i have to leave it open sumwhat..but seem to going well..all r bout 2-3in..when i get the reflector ill b putn them in 3gal bag to go threw the flowering stage but ima give it 4-5more weeks of veg...think it will b fine to flower in the bags with 4-5week of veg in bags ..

 

[StonerGrower]

Lets see some pics. If your in 3gal bags you might go rootbound in 4-5 weeks of veg. Ive gone rootbound in 5gal in 4 weeks!

 

[getsumkin]

ok well here go sum pic of the setup ...ive add the cfls i had on them at first...plus the 400watt is in to...myb ill wait for the 3gal and do 2liter first for 3-4 weeks then 3gal bag to flower

 

[CharlieMopps]

The largest container i ever used was a 5 gallon recycling bucket. I think if the roots get that big and get bound, tough luck. I mean thats one big root system. Even if it's bound it'll still suck up everything you pour into the container.
