ive been surfin' your forums the last couple of weeks getting all the info needed on growing indoors. I just got a 400w hps light some white widow femininsed seeds(amsterdam skunk and purple power on way) a little fan heater and a bedroom cupboard everything is set up and ready to go. the reasoning for these seeds is that they are mostly sativa. im quite new to this although i have thought about it for a long time, never had the cash to get the equipment. anyways i just wanted to say thanks for the help so far and to introduce myself as im sure i will need some experienced advice along the way to my first crop harvest. oh i have chosen john innes loam based no2 soil and will later use baby bio(tomato plant food) no pics yet but wen they start ill try and get one or two. btw im in scotland just so you know the environment, allthough im creating my own indoors at night it still gets cold.
thank you all again.
dont wory be happy

Alright bigyeh
I Myself was born in scotland (greenock) but now im in a warmer climate.thank fuck....any help i can give let me know...when you turn on the 400 hps it going to heat the room up so don't worry about the cold to much have you got some vents? and what about flo's for the start because you can't use the hps from the start all the best joe...

I got a little fan heater that blows cold air enough for circulation and my cupboard's next to the window so new supply of fresh air is also available. i found i can keep the light/heat at a steady 85f if i leave the door open slightly(and better air circulation). I have got a duel spectrum growlux light coming today but i was kinnda preparing the room to see how it would handle heat for the past few days its been on. i planted 2 white widow seeds(feminised) yesterday. the humidity is low about 35 but i assume the humidity will go up slightly as the plant developes. if i leave the door open the humidity is around 40 so i guess so far any problems have been sorted by opening the door.
cheers.
one more question how much would ,say 4 plants really smell, is it as bad as people say? or is it only when you have lots i know they stink but when theres not many are the neighbours still gonna enjoy the sweet smell?

Sounds great mate, the temp's might get abit high try keeping it about 80f, and put a bucket of water in there aswell too bump up the humidity abit, as for the smell ive had 1 plant that stanck out my house for two weeks and that wase'nt a widow so 4 white widow ooh that will stink, but you have time before you have to worry about that...good luck what part of scotland you from?

i suppose the smell will only be for a few weeks so i guess that should be ok. i come from the west highlands of Scotland where usually moisture is never a problem,
i got a big bucket of water in there so that should help I think my main problem will be inpatience.lol
cheers.

hi farmer joe,

quick hello from your irish brethern here

have a closet grow with cfl's

125watt blue spec for veg
250watt of red spec for flowering..

keep us posted and throw up the odd pic when you get a chance!

hey all. I found the little fan was actully making the heat higher in the room and costing a fortune in electricity so i removed it and i got a temp of 80f flat.also humidity is up to 40. i think i got enough ventilation from looking at them. Can any one tell me how much roughly its gonna cost me for a 400w hps on 18 hours a day in electricity? or how much i should expect?
cheers
Oh! my duel spectrum light came yesterday so all is go..

I dont know what your power rates are but at 18 hours for 30 days the usage is 216 kWhours. See GCSE Physics: kilowatt-hour for the math.
