Hello all! I will be growing the following 1x Northern Lights x Big bud autoflower 1x Trans Siberian auto flower I have a closet I don't know the exact dimensions but I have pictures included! I'll be using 400 watt HPS sodium at 2000k Cool tube 1 12 inch oscillating fan 1 6 inch oscillating fan XL reflector I plan on introducing an exhaust fan with a carbon filter with my next check I'll be growing in soil in 5 Gallon pots Temperatures in the room are about 74.5 degrees with the fans on and the light on full blast. I'll be using a 24/0 light schedule from start to finish. I have seen a lot of really good grows using that schedule and it would be most convenient for me. here are some pictures would appreciate all the advice I can get Thermometer with lights off - Full closet - full closet with light - cool tube - bulb - ballast -
Bump turns out ended up getting some different seeds They're still autos but now I'm gonna be growing 1x Trans-Siberian 1x Northern LightsxBig Bud under the 400 watt HPS now have a 6 inch inline fan exhausting air through the cool tube into the attic pics coming soon
Update!!!! My Trans Siberian seed came in the mail on Thursday it only took her two days to pop out a decent sized taproot so I went ahead and planted her in a 5 gallon bucket loaded with FFOF soil. She is currently under 4x19 watt CFLs and 1x14 watt CFL just for a few until I can buy another fan to pull cold air in from my attic (About 45 degrees up there ) Temps in the room are a constant 76 degrees going as high as 76.8 and as low as 75.6 Humidity is about 40% She has been watered with PHed water and is under a 24/0 light schedule Please leave me comments guys I am looking forward to grow some high quality medicine and would absolutely love expert advice!
Ok so I now have my complete grow setup ready Here are some pictures I have air coming in from the attic blowing through the cool tube (the air is cold and cools the bulb) and then out into the room. Also have an exhaust venting into the attic!! I have added a humidifier in there as well keeping it about 50% humidity Let me know what you think She is about 5 days old
Looks like you have already done your hmework...if anything i would say hold off on the hps until plants are past the seedling stage...those cfls should be good for now if kept close enough. and it seems like you know what ur doing...hps, cooltube, temp/rh stat, ventilation....keep up the good work and keep the updates happening. if you post it..they will come!!
Thank you! I learned a lot of stuff just from browsing the forums and checking out other grows I'm gonna lower the planet about another foot or so by taking it off the container so the HPS will be about 3 or so feet away until she's ready for the real lights hehe temps are a steady 71 with this new vent system I installed I wanna do a dark cycle on the plant but If I do so it might drop down to below 45 degrees so until I can get that figured out maybe with a heater or something
Update she is 7 days old today Started adding in a couple of 1/2 strength grow nutes today the guy at the hydro store said he has had personal great success with this feeding schedule. Temps are still a solid 72 degrees with about 40 percent humidity Light schedule has been decided to stay 18/6 till harvest

Can someone please tell me why my leaves are doing this? Temps are constantly 70 degrees Fan is on low blowing plant HPS is about 3 feet above plant Definitely no overwatering http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1277572-400-watt-hps-closet-
http://youtu.be/XgS7GPM8rk0 here's a day 12 update http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1277572-400-watt-hps-closet-
I have had that before. Mine just moved on and all of the new leaves formed straight and normal. I have also had some deformities that where they died but not that one. If it seems healthy I'm sure its totally ok like mine was. It's only the one plant right?? I think a nebula in my garden now did that. Don't worry it's cool I'm sure.
is she too young to LST? about 6 inches tall now with 3 sets of leaves http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1277572-400-watt-hps-closet-
guess what guys!!! I got a free alaskan thunderfuck seed we found it in a batch of some KILLER bud. (alaskan tf)
she is tied over now are about 36 inches from the light (how she looked when I first tied her down) [/URL http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1277572-400-watt-hps-closet-"]http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1277572-400-watt-hps-closet-
Update for ya guys I started to LST her and I bent her over then decided I am just gonna grow all natural for this plant so I pulled her back up and filled her wih more soil right under the first set of leaves (I'm sure she will be back pointing towards the light in a few hours)
