its hot here and the days are super short right now. I bought a tent a 400watt full spectrum led light a 300watt cfl 2700k amd a 250watt cfl 6400k. Decided to try this inside. So far so good i think but i know the heat will pose a problem in the future.

Space mostly. Will this affect the plants in a negative way? I initially was gonna have them outside in seperate 5 gallon pots but the days being so short i had to put them inside and i didnt want to give away any of the seedlings

The str8 up answer is YES, forum doesn't suck, what sucks is people not reading for themselves and expecting to be spoon fed answers with minimum effort of their behalf.
Sorry if that statment offends you, but its not just you (hell im guilty of the same thing @ times) but I have the bad habit of posting questions like that one in other PPL's threads & can almost hijack a thread without thinking or realising what im doing or have done.

Read the seed strain description for that strain and c wot it says about the yeald per sq/meter, devide that by 9 plants (SEA OF GREEN) style of grow. Thats basicly 1 plant per sq foot of grow space (or 1' 3" x 1' 3" per plant in a 1meter x 1 meter or 100cm x 100cm square grow space if your pernikaty :bigjoint:)
So unless your going to start flowering them now and bending them towards the outside of your grow space by putting a loop of wire round the grow pot and tying down the plants to it to space them out, your going to end up with an overcrouded grow with maybe 1 or 2 plants taking over the others.
Also, unless their femanised seeds, you will end up with males at one end and maybe 2 females at the other end.

You have twice as many plants in that grow space that you could get away with, unless their all femanized seeds, drop the light hours down to 12/12 and pre flower them, then pull out the males. This should give you an idea of the number of females you will have.

That should be enough to be going on with. peace out Rudi :weed:

Lets start from the begining.
1, What growing space do you have?
2, what strain r u growing & r they femanized & regular or autos?
3, What, lights do you have there? you say 2 cfl's and one led, but it looks like you have 2 led's and one cfl, you may have 1 red led, 1 full spectrum led and one daylight (6400k cfl) ????
4, im guessing thats soil/pearlite mix, is that right?
6, What are your natural daylight hours and what season is it ware u live?
We can start from there. you may need to re pot some into smaller pots or choose a couple and grow larger plants, but lets get some basics first, that will help others answer your questions as and when they pop up. This should also reasure you that your not getting attitude, but serious questions about your grow choices and det some posative and educated feedback to help you acomplish your goal Rudi :weed:
