Germination
So I germinated 6 seeds, 3 Widow, 3 Haze. Last night I stuck them under 2 x 40W Fluro @ 3'' and 1x400W HPS @ 3'. Both intake and outake fans are running, and the room is currently at 83 degrees. I feel like my thermometer may be off, becuase it feels as cool in my closet as it does outside. I'm putting one oscillating fan in for now to keep air exchange happening above the plants.
Here are some pics: 1) the room, intake low on the right, outake high on the left 2) outake fan connects to a piece of ducting that comes through the wall 3) the fan that connects duct, sealed w/ good ol' duct tape 4) The intake fan 5) Size comparison

more pics
1) another shot of the room, above w/ intake
2) shot of the sprouts poking up from overhead (lights moved for shot) 3) more sprouts... man I love this stuff Since these pics i have seperated the Fluro's so that some of the HPS shines through. They are all on. Peace till later.

If that's a switchable 400watt MH/HPS light, then I got the same one. It looks like it. Same company and all. It puts out some heat, the ballast is quite with a slight hum; it's been very reliable so far. I'm going to upgrade to the air coolable reflector my next grow. Best of luck to you.

Your setup looks killer man... The plants will love it
. As for the heat, look into a Cooltube. I hear they do any unbelievable job of controlling the heat. CO2 generators can also help your plants deal with the higher temps.

I'd say you'll be just fine with the heat thats a good set-up. I would however, use 2 surge protectors one for the HPS and one for everything else.
Oh, and point one of your circulating fans right at the light this will help keep it cooler in there. also, I'd say that if you do a good job growing them, 2 plants will be the max. I have 3 in a closet that is 41" wide by 6.5' long and shit you tell me how the F**k I'm going to be able to do any thing with the back one? http://forum.grasscity.com/attachmen...001_edited.jpg Thank God Its a hydro grow and I don't have to much, feed'em from the front. However I did start with 6, had to chop 3 down, natural hermies, from a hermie and skunk mix. Last edited by chimera : 09-28-2006 at 05:42 AM. |

Cool Tube Sounds Cool
Thanks folks for all the replys/ advice. In response to your question Whodi, it is not the switchable ballast, it is just an HPS, however the same guy that sells my lamps sells the one your talking about too. It's a recommended website from this forum, hi-tech garden supply. I actually live near the store, its a great shop, and the guy who runs it all, Wade, has these great dogs that are always there, and there is always Marley blasting from his stereo. As for the cool tube idea... sounds sweet, I was actually thinking about that anyway, but you all re-affirmed it in my head. I'm gonna build one this weekend. Any suggestions? I heard you can use candle hurricanes. Is there a good size? how should I connect it? should I attach a mini-pc-fan to part of it for ventilation? should i attach it to a duct then maybe a fan? I dunno tell me what you all think.
+ rep for everyone thats helping Thanks Peace

Hey man.
Grow room and set up look great, strain is great, suppliers look good. All looks well so far. Sounds like your babies got under watered that is if the soil was bone dry. Give them a good drink and they should perk up within 2 hours. I have under watered mine occasionally and when I water them they perk up in front of my eyes. Anyway, I am now subscribed to this thread so I will be watching. Good luck this time around.

Thank a lot for stopping by VTEC. I've seen your grows... means a lot that you're helping me out.
I did water them, two came back to full health, however there is one they may not be able to be saved. realistically I only have for 2 or 3 plants anyway. so I'm not to concerned. Thanks to everyone who's checking / reading this. I'll have pics / any major updates on Wednesday. I'm currently installing a cool tube. It's pretty nice, but I can't seem to get the glass into the metal. We'll see... any suggestions? Peace all Stay Prickley
