NewBoy420 1st 4x4 Tent Grow - Solis Tek DE 1000 Watts!

I dont see a 600 watt Mh bulb in the chart.

I haven't grown with HID, so you'll need to get a specific answer from someone who has, I just wanted to share the charts for a basic light distance guide now. But I think GhettoGro is right on with raising the light a bit higher than the charts say. The same principle applies to LEDs as well when growing seedlings.

And yeah.. good point man, I never noticed the 600 was missing. I'll have to check the web to see if I can find a more complete set of charts.


They should do just fine without the baggies now, you'll just need to provide water.

I've never heard of a 1000W ballast that could be cut down to 600W. Is it switchable to HPS too?

Just looked up your ballast and yeah, wow, it can run 400W, 600W or 1000W. Cool!

Ok i hope some who views the thread will know. i raised it up to 2 feet for now until i find out the right distance.

If i take them out the baggies. what should my humid level be at?

 

[NewBoy420]

GhettoGro The one i have is the V2.0 it runs at 1000/750/600 watts its made for double ended bulbs but can run normal ones too!

very nice setup ,I think better to take a little pot, because in short time the roots growing fast and they don't like the light, I currently potted Ghost Train Haze1 (MOSTLY SATIVA!)and the end or the roots came out bottom of my 11cm*11cm*12cm pot (the baby only 30 hours old !!!)

Should I leave them in the baggies or are they good to be taken out?

 

[NewBoy420]

Ok thank I will transplant todat after work. They do grow fast!

Hi NewBoy420!
I don't think it is necessary to transplant them right now, you can grow in that little cup until they reach a decent clone size without any problem, and don't keep the soil too wet all the time, let the roots go search for water.
With seedling I would recommend you to use a single t5 strip or even some CFL's bulbs, it would save you some money at the end.
Your humidity is very low. I just message another grower with the same problem, here is the link with my message. Northern Light Auto - Soil - Stealth - CFL - Newbie

Peace

Keeper thanks ok I been just checking them make sure that the soil don't get to dry. I have a a little beaker I use to water them its like 5 table spoons I believe. should I buy a humidifier?

Depending on the climate where you live, it should not be required. I live in the southeast US where humitidy is usually above 40%. If you live in the southwest you may need a humidifier. If not, sometimes just a pan of water or a wet towel in the grow area can provide the moisture you need.

 

[NewBoy420]

Im upper Midwest bro. I seen that the humidity level is related to the temperature is this also correct?

 

[GhettoGro]

Not so much temp but area I think. I've been in New Orleans when the temp was 50f and RH was 90%. Then Ive been in Colorado when the temp is 90f with RH 20%. Just have to play it by ear.

 

[GhettoGro]

I like to keep my RH 50-60% in veg and 40-60% during flower. Every plant can vary in what it likes though.

 

[NewBoy420]

Thank you all good info to know here.! I cant wait to check on them when I get home.

 

[NewBoy420]

they are looking good guys!

 

[NewBoy420]

Guys is she ok? Im starting to get nervous?

 

[NewBoy420]

I think that little girl died she has not moved at all.

 

[GhettoGro]

Oh no! How long has she been that way?

 

[NewBoy420]

For a whole day bro. all the other ones have sprouted and are doing Good. This one I think I might have not planted deep enough. Or I might have put them under the light to soon. I have it about 2 feet away at 600w. Im really bumbed out that was CBD critical mass.
