400 watt HPS closet autoflower grow NORTHERN LIGHTS BIG BUD

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

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

 

really nobody has any suggestions or anything ?

 

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

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)
