How long it took for you to see first leaves and rout?

i deffinatly need ta go get some of those cfl fixtures your using. i hate how big and spaced out my lights are lol are they exspensive? haha
good luck with the sproutlings, iv heard MG soil isnt good to put seedlings in. iv never used it, just if you have problems with em in the future keep this in mind lol

ya i need to come up with something but its not an easy task something to do when you first set up your grow spot.

yea for sure.. i jus read my ass off and i got alot of good ideas off here. i got the idea of my setup from someone that did the same exact thing except jus with wood and more exspensive stuff lol im sure you could find something that would work for your setup

ya i just switched out my big fan and put two computer fans in my closet. one is up high as an exhaust blowing out of some drill holes that i made. and the other one is at the bottom tilted upwards at the lights.... is 70 degrees too low for my grow room??? it seems to want to stay right around that temp.

70 is good, 75-78ish is ideal imo it could get down to like 65 maybe 55 befor it does any real damage to the plant. if its to cold in there the stems will turn a purpleish color.
n i need to get better ventilation, i jus have a small 5 inch fan blowing on the lights and plants and a big ocelating fan in the corner of the room that blows above the plants. n once or twice a day i open the door and put a fan blowing out of my window and another out the closet n i switch em to blowing in for a while after like 45 mins a hour(im growing in my bedroom closet) it gets like 95 in there without a fan no matter how cold it is out side

hows the plants goin ne ways? have they broke soil yet?

ya i grew in my closet at my old place gets crazzy hot it those places.... haha ya i have two real small not very power full computer fans rigged up i guess there just in the right spot cause before with just the big fan and without the vent holes i made it got like 80-90 degrees in there, but not any more.... now i just need to figure out some type of hood system for my lights

yea im still trying to figure out a better reflector, im scared the cardboard will burn my house down in the middle of the night lol if you can find sum kind of flexable metal or plastic you can jus paint it white or put mylar on it

or you could cover the ceiling n walls with poster board or white paper if your feeling lazy haha
