Size of light?
I'm using 11x 20 Watt 6 500k 1220 lumens and 4x 14 Watt 2700k 1120 lumens CFL's that you get from your local hardware store. Starting with a 18/6 light schedule.
(I was going to only use CFL'S for my grow room but I have done some extensive research after doing this setup about a 400 watt MH/HPS bulb setup, I now already have a 400 Watt MH and 400 Watt HPS bulb setup on order with a 6" tube reflector.

Is it aircooled?
My grow room is air cooled. (Two small rotating fans one on the roof and one on the floor for air circulation and to make the plants dance. I also have a 98 cubic meters/hr extractor fan which I will use to pull heat away from the 400 Watt MH/HPS bulbs with ducting once I install those bulbs but for now the extractor is used to bring in fresh air and draw abit of heat out.)

Temp of Room/cab?
The room runs at about 29 degrees Celsius (84.3 fahrenheit) during lights on and 23 degrees Celsius (73.5 Fahrenheit) with lights off. I'm waiting for a warm/cold temperature controller to control temperature in the grow room.

RH of Room/cab?
At the moment the RH of my room is dependent on the environment (Atmosphere RH and from the plants and from watering when proper watering starts) which fluctuates threw out the day but averaging around 70% at the moment. I'm waiting for a humidifier/dehumidifier on order to control RH.

PH of media or res?
Grow medium is at 6.5 as I adjust my tap water to 6.5 ph and will adjust ph after adding nutes to the water when I start feeding. I use a 85% pure, food grade phosphoric acid to lower and stabilise the ph of the water.

Any Pests ?
There are no pest as of yet but I have a bottle of organic (garlic and canola oil extract) pesticide so will be ready for any pests. Will be getting neem oil soon as I am worried that the garlic in it my change the flavour of the smoke.

How often are you watering?
At the moment I have only wet the soil as I have planted the germinated seeds today so I have no records of how frequent I'm watering yet.

Type and strength of ferts used?
It's very hard to get the right nutes where I am so I have had to make the best with what I could get. I did research and found a high nitrogen organic plant food for veg stage and a high phosphorous potassium cactus plant food for blooming. I also have a bottle of micro nutes plant food.

Sweet bru ill appreciate it and thanks for the tip. I was going to mount them horizontal but that would've taken longer to do and just wanted to get growing. Haha
 
Sweet thanks mcnasty. I'm going to try keep this a weekly update with photos but sooner if run into any problems. Just one question for now, I'm going to be doing a scrog. I have read you should have 1 plant per Sq foot but I only have 3. firstly is it possible to full the screen with the 3 plants? if so how by topping 1st to get more branches? or should I stick to 3 sq feet as i have 3 plants?
