Scrog Grow - Original Misty, Bubba Kush (GHS)

Hello all! Welcome to my first indoor grow and first grow diary :-P
I've been waiting a long time for this and finally i've got things up and running.
So, I had 1/5 Misty seeds germinate, i intentionally attempted seeding 5 because these seeds came from
a random market stall in Amsterdam, and the packaging was very basic and not very descriptive.
Anyhow, 3 feminized Bubba Kush seeds have germinated with incredible speed.

The setup:
1.18mx1.18mx1.9m closet grow.
Doors have been clamped open to produce the space.
1 x 600w HPS cooling system - will be getting a 250w cfl soon, and ill throw that in too.
Extraction: RVK L1 150mm with a rhino filter 150/300mm
Intake: RVK A1 150mm
2 oscillating fans
Using Bio Bizz All-Mix soil, and have canna flores and veg for nutes.

Pictures!
Setup:

Thing in this photo look messy, it's more cleared up now ;)

I will be scrogging these, have all the equipment ready to build it!


At the moment everything seems to be going okay, only issues are: light leaks, negative pressure, carbon filter placement and humidity.
I've tried to close up every gap for the light leaks, but little corners still emit some light.
The negative pressure thing annoyed me as i was assured that the fans would create negative pressure. I was
initially going for 125mm rvk for intake but the store dude advised me against it. Got kinda hustled. Oh well!
To fix the negative pressure, i taped a little bit of foil tape on the intake ducting to block the air a tiny bit, this made a big difference.
And after researching i figured that it won't stress the fan too much.
The carbon filter is heavy! And im simply afraid to hang it up as it may just snap and drop on the plants, i'll need to figure out a way to get it mounted up high. It would really benefit the ventilation too..
Humidity is my biggest problem! When i wake up it's usually around 15%. Which is too low! I put a cold wet towel in the room to create some humidity,
it seems to work but i have to wet it 2-3 times a day. I also spray water on the little guys and in and around the grow room to raise it. I can get 40% humidity but it doesn't last long at all.
Anyways, sorry for the ranting! Hope you guys enjoy this and i'd really like some advise or any useful info!

Still some low humidity, I throw a wet towel and a bucket of water in the grow room to help, but i never really go above 35% and usually hang around 20%.

:bigjoint:
 
oh, and 20 percent humidity is an "ok" level 30-40 would be superb but my grow room also hangs around 20 RH most of the time. Ive never tried this but some people swear it works; put a bowl of water in your grow area and run an air pump with an air stone on the end into the bowl. the bubbles should put water vapor into the air at a constant rate and you dont have to worry about re-wetting a towel 4 times a day. (the air pump and stone are aquarium accessories you can get at wal-mart or petco) Happy growing!

Okay woke up this morning and my little seedling does not look too happy.
Does this look like over watering?

This one was always like this.

Any thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks! :)

Really need advice guys. I'm not sure if I've under watered or over watered. The soil has been bone dry for about 12 hours now. And the plants dont look happy :/

Alright so after a little disaster things have picked up again :lol:
Here we have my 100% germinated seeds.

Initially this grow was a bubba kush (GHS) x 3 seeds and a Misty Original seed.
However i did some really horrible mistakes, like used the jiffy pots with bio bizz all mix under a 600w hps.. hmmm.. i cooked my bubbas!:wall:
My humidity was also very low at 15%, so i bought a humidifier to pick things up a bit and I saw a huge difference with the Misty plant 6 hours or so after applying the humidifier.
Also, i mounted my carbon filter up, which actually helped with stabilizing temps. Intake now runs in and is let out at the bottom of the tent.

Anyhoww. Feeling quite gutted and determined to not give up, i ordered Liberty Haze from Barnies Farm and Lemon Diesel from Emerald Triangle Seeds.
As a freebie i also got 1 x Blue Dream and 1 x Jack Diesel, both from Dinafem.

IN THE POTS!
To the left we have 4 x Liberty HAze
The big plant is the Misty Original, which survived through my torturing. (2 weeks old)
Sprout in the bigger pot is Blue Dream.
And the two to the right are Lemon Diesel.


Right now they look really happy.. Temps are 25 degrees lights on, 20 lights off. Humidity around 45-55% (I know to lower it for flowering)
MY only question is, i've placed the humidifier right under the intake ducting for the tent, so humid air is being sucked into the grow room. - Would this damage my rvk??

Hopefully i don't come across other horrible mistakes! But i figure things seem to be under control now :bigjoint:

Leaves on 1 out of the 4 Liberty Haze continue to grow weirdly,
thinking its waterdrop burn.

Stopped training the misty for now, found out she's a sativa dom so i'll let her grow out for now.
