Hey all
I'm growing 2 bag seeds before I start my AI seeds. I want to be sure I learn how to do everything properly. I'm going to try to clone one I think... just to see if I do it right. I started them about a week ago. I'm using 6 daylight 6500k fluoros. 2 of them are 100w equivalent and the rest are 75 watt equivalent. Thats all I could afford for now. Theyre a couple inches above them and a 4' tube on the side. I got Foxfarm Ocean soil and perlite. They seem to be doing alright... not really growing as quickly as I wished, but then again... I have to admit I've been obsessing over them, checking on them like 3 times a day lol. Theyre around an inch right now. I got the lights off for 4 hours at night.
I bought a 400w HPS bulb, but I'm a little confused as to how I use it. I know I need a ballast, which I dont have the money for now anyways, but I dont know how to set it up or anything.
Oh... also, I have both closet doors closed at all times... I try to crack one open as much as possible, but I have 3 cats and theyre all troublemakers. So I'm a bit skeptical. I do have a fan in there and its been on them for a day now. I open the doors about 2-3 times a day. Should there be more ventilation? Its a pretty big closet... about 5 feet wide 2 feet deep.
Sorry for all the questions! I'm just nervous lol.
Pics to come soon!
