Yeah I didn't plan on growing autos when i purchased my set up. Going threw a job change and really don't have the money to by any more pots, so i may just run the 7's.

[odinsmaster]

I've had good luck with the Walmart blue fabric bags. They are 50 cents a piece and are around 3 or 4 gallons.

 

[odinsmaster]

Ordered 5, 3 gal smart pots.

[odinsmaster]

got up this morning and one of little guys was laying over about a inch of the tray. So i made a little support for the two taller ones.

 

[odinsmaster]

Got my 3 gal smart pots in today. Going to mix up my soil tonight.

 

[odinsmaster]

got my girls in their pots.

 

[veinz]

Transplant asap

 

[veinz]

Oops already did that. .

Ok guys, sorry about the questions on every step, but i have never been able to keep my plants alive (house plants, black thumb). so i am a little nervous. Today will be the first day in their pots (5th day out) and i have been running 400w light on 250w. So my question is should i start to dial it up to 250boost or 400w maybe? Thanks in advance.

 

[veinz]

400 watt boost

 

[odinsmaster]

Turned light up to 400w, just checked and temp at plants was 88 degrees. Adjusted the light to 25 inches above plants. Check again in 30 min. Will raise a couple more inches if needed.

 

[odinsmaster]

That's 15 inches above the lights, and my babies are happy. 82 degrees

Odin, do you have a elbow in that ducting going to your inline intake? Looks like a 90deg angle. If you don't, put an elbow there, if you did, right on!

 

[odinsmaster]

Their is a90 outside the tent where it goes to the attic. The bend going to the light isn't as trastic as the insulation makes it look.
