  2. I ran my led lights at 30" for seedlings, 18-24" for veg and like 12" for flower.
    Once your seedlings are stable and have a little size you can just about touch the plants with those lights. But you're best bet is to follow the mfg specs. Maybe go a little closer but they're suggested distances are pretty close.

  3. Is that a 5gal res or a 3.5gal? I just ordered pretty much the exact same setup just with a 16x16x48 tent and 3.5gal res.

  5. This may be a stupid question, but I have to ask for peace of mind, do I have to use the ducting or can I just connect the filter directly to the fan? Asking for stealth reasons.

  7. You can but you would need to make sure that where they connect is sealed.

  10. Ok so I came home and checked out the seeds and two out of three are split open and the last one is under mature. I put in a ticket and I am waiting to see what they say. In the mean time, I re-thought my tent design and I think it came out way better than when I had it before.

  14. I do find the seeds with a 1/2" taproot seem to pop up real fast and grow better at the beginning. But within a week they all seem to be about the same for me at least.

    Yea but i still prefer with the circustances of the seeds to give it the best chance to grow. So im gonna give time for the tap root to grow. Good advice.
