New around here and need a little advice please?

Hey guys,

Cheers for the advice

First pic is of the tent. It has one small 4 inch outlet fan near the pot on the left and a small desk fan at the back. The 600 will have a fan connected to it blowing cold air straight in and back out of the tent. The pots also have a home brewing wrap around heater keeping them warm.

Below photo is just a close up with the 110w light over it.

Fire away guys, what do you think? One thing i do know i i wish my seeds would hurry up and sprout, i'm getting a little impatient!

Cheers

Edit: Apologies about the side ways photo's, i thought i had fixed that

Cool setup, I would definately use the 110 for clones/young seedlings and leave veg/flower to the HPS. Use the 110 for about a week until they grow their first few sets of leaves then switch it up

Thanks Majek, exactly what i was thinking

Hey eastcoastmo, I see now why the interest in my G13, you got the goodness too The tent looks good, I used to use one of those (4 x 4 tho). I also gew in a similar sized cabinet with a 400 watter, I think my grow is still in my profile (my first grow after 10 yrs, 7 O's dry). I'm thinking definately top them then maybe even top again, this will allow you to veg for 3-4 weeks (big roots, big trunk, big buds). You'll need to keep the 600 quite high, at least 12 inches from the top of the plants, probably best at around 20-24.
Remember the light in that small room will bounce all over the place giving you way more light to the plants. Closer than 12 inches will give you definate heat burn (in flower and possible veg) even in your cold winter and cooltube.

In regards to vegging under the 600, definately do it once your at around 5-6 inches tall, before that height keep what you have as close as possible. Once again though keep the 600 above 12'. Your plants will handle more heat in veg than in flower but keep an eye on leaf curl (upwards).

If your strain is similar to my G13 go easy on the nutes, at 2-3 inches tall keep em at around 200ppm, 4-6 inches 400-600, 6-8 inches 600-900, youll probably max out in veg at around 1100-1200ppm. In flower as Im finding out it can handle a slow increase up to 1600-1800 for the first few weeks at least.

Keen as to see how you go mate, you got a great setup and perfect outside temps. Go large my freind!!

Hey mate thanks so much for the comments hey, everything you saod makes
perfect sense and i will be following very closely your grow has inspired me so i really hope this works out even half as good! I'll be a happy man! Im going to document too so will post up as i go (if these seeds sprout, i may have stunted them due to cold
water being used once a day. Ive fixed now by adding a new water heater)! Cheers again mate!

Oh and with your heater wrap around the pots, dont let it get above 20 degrees celcius, think if they were in the ground there temp would probably be around 10-17c in perfect conditions. It's defintely ok to have the heater on now to promote growth but be careful when they get to around 6 inches, the 600w will heat the whole room more than enough when it's in, I remember reading that 17c was optimal for soil grows. Saweet. Do you brew as well? I got my home brew cranking, love it, way better than store bought and sooo much cheaper!

Ah yeah i hadnt actually considered that, will take a temp reading tomorrow!
LOVE home brewing too man, shits all over store bought! Im drinking an amarillo hopped pale ale as i type lol

Cheers for the love mate!! Hmmm, I'm thinking your heater wrap is definately a good thing right now for your seeds (forgot they were seeds, I normally start with rooted clones so quite different). Whats the ppm of the water out of your tap? I'm really lucky, our water is near zero so I just get the water tepid (around 25-30c) using the mixer head in the sink then water with that in the early stages of veg. Once the plant is hardy enough I drop the temp to around 17c or as I am doing now straight from my watering drum via pumps and timers.
Your gonna do great!!
