Hey everyone, this is my first time growing marijuana and it is more of a test to learn some key elements to growing plants.

I started the plants out on a 18-6 lighting sched. 1 plant has sprouted out of the soil with 3 others already germ'd and planted.

Soil:
The soil I am currently using is miracle grow potting soil, mixed with miracle grow perlite.

Lighting:
I am using a 400w HPS/MH conversion ballast. It generates a lot of heat so im going to drill some holes in my walls soon to create more air flow.

Grow Room:
I have this set up in my bedroom closet. It tends to generate a lot of heat in the closet but i try to circulate as much as air as possible by opening up the door a few times if im home.

Air Circulation:
I have a large fan in there that is pointed at a spot on the wall so it blows over the plants but not with a ton of force.

I'll post some pictures soon of the setup and my first little girl(hopefully).

Have fun dealing with the heat. 400w in a closet is like FIRE

Hey pmb216. I have a 400watt HPS/ MH conversion on the way from HTG supply. How big is your closet, and exzactly how did you deal with heat? I've been told 400watts get hot, while others say it will be fine. So which is it? lol I'm interested in following your grow all the way up till harvest. I 'm running 4 T12 shop lights, and excited to realy get some good yields by switching to the 400watt. Please post some pics at a month old. Thanx man.

Both the MG soil and thier pearlite have plant food in them, so what ever you do don't fertilize them for a few weeks

and on weeds they did it haha! but im about to post pics of them and i guess they are about a month old now. i rushed the cycles due to rush of time.

i had to just leave the door open and have fans circulating air. Fresh air is my friend

In my 3x3 closet with 400 hps and a 30 dollar dual 9 inch fan 9 ( don't know how many cfm's) . Closet stays 5 degrees warmer than house.
