alright! thanks seem ok to me. average running temp is about 82-83 degrees, i'm ok with this. keep in mind, for the sake of curiosity i turned off the intake fan, and let it run passively and maintained this temp.
also for the sake of curiosity, i placed the dual temp gauge inside the exhaust duct, and its exhausting air at around 86, so i guess things are functioning well. i'm done testing and ready to start growing!

I'll draw a picture real fast.

L= line
N= neutral
G= ground

The cord is not so important, you can use a 2 prong plug and just omit the G circuit above. I used a 3 prong plug from an extension cord with the end cut off.

Also I still recommend using no intake fans and using them all for exhaust, it will be the most efficient way of cooling your tent, run 1/2 of the fans 24/7 and the other half with a DuctStat when the temps get above your dialed in temp the other two fans will turn on automatically. This would be the best.

Well I might starting sooner than I think..
Thanks to the help of this guy!


Tropf Blumat Jr

Now all I need is this...
Soil
and these...
Pots

Also, I don't want to deal with starter/rooting plugs.. after germing and getting a healthy tap root, I can just poke in the soil about 1/2" and drop the cracked seen in place correct? That's what I plan to do! Let me know if thats kosher, first time soil and first time with a seed starting tray/humidity dome

OOOO! Seed Starting Lamps!!!



They sort of have the look of a two lamp T5 setup, cut in half. I already have one of these lamps, and i'll be ordering a second lamp

Each lamp is 27W 1800 Lumens and 6500K. Once I start vegetative growth i'll use them as side lighting. Plan to keep them during flower to maintain that multi-spectrum.
VERY excited about using these, they will help with temp problems in the seedling stage, which is all I was concerned about. Once they are a little older and hardier i'm sure they can handle the low 80's temps just fine.

Lamp
Bulb

FF Ocean Blend may be a bit strong to start a seedling in. I recommend starting the seedlings in a weaker nuted soil or in a soil-less mix all together. Peat moss, vermiculite, coco coir, perlite use one or use them all together. I use promix seedling blend. http://www.premierhort.com/eProMix/G...fGardening.htm

Found a nifty seed starting tray..


Six Pack Seed Starter

I'll be starting my precious seeds in that tray, under one of the above listed lamps.
Once I have healthy sprouts with their first true leaves, each one into their own 1 gallon pot with the Ocean Forest soil, with their own 23W CFL lamp until larger leaf sets grow. Then turn the lamps sideways for side lighting, and use the hood to fill in the rest. Looks like I still won't be germing till later this month though. I really want to be here at the ready to see them through this crucial early phase of life.
