My very first grow room

Gh flora nova bloom is good stuff too !

need. moar. light! get them under your hid asap. they will thank you.your girls are looking good. keep calm and carry onfwiw, I like pink

With a cooltube as you have, you can easily have the HID closer than 18 inches. Try about 8 - 12inches and see how they respond! Room looking very neat.

Agreed but best rule of thumb is to use the hand method hold your hand at top of plants and imagine it there for hours I had my 600 way too close bleached my plant a little but moved it up good 6-8 inch's I would say they can penetrate good. These ones are the ones I chopped a few weeks early I found out but still was amazing stuff to me for my first time.

Also it is Alaskan Thunderfuck x Mexican Haze

Well it was LST but mainly to keep it short person that gave me it had more room then I did so just bent it over so in a way yes

U can make a clone of each before switching to 12/12 .

if you can get more clones down the line, I'd hold off on making your own right now. First it will interrupt their growth, and second, it's another skill to learn on your first grow. Try it later, after you've successfully grown these plants through to harvest. Focus on the basics.keep the varieties you enjoy. i.e. if you hate headband, don't grow it again. you could keep four different varieties for your different tastes/moods.it sounds like you have the light at a good distance. i just meant that seedlings are light hogs. clones need to be acclimated over 2 or 3 days.please update with pics things are happening fast at this point. If you flip them now they could develop six side branches. you definitely don't want the unknown genetics to take over your grow space. i once had a 12" seedling top 6' by the time it was done darned mexican sativa peace

Ok, so I couldn't wait and here are a few pics I just took. Temperature in grow space is 35% C. and relative humidity is around 29%, I realize the the temp is a little high and that the humidity is on the low side. I have a humidifier going plus a rotating fan and a small container of water in the space .. any suggestions as to how I can raise the humidity and maybe lower the temp a few degrees ?

**what is the temperature at the plant tops?** you definitely want temperatures in the low to mid 20s. get a 100 cfm (or so) fan at the ceiling blowing out hot air, and let in cool air. if you're exhausting to the basement, the large volume will help dissipate the hot air...however, you need to humidify your house. around 50% is a good relative humidity...good for your lungs too! get a *large* container of water, and stick an aquarium air pump and stone in it a cool mist humidifier works well.

have you heard about making your own clones? aka cuttings. you basically cut off a branch, stick it in a pot, and in a week it grows roots. buying clones is a good thing.
