I switched to 12/12 on the 31st of jan and put bushmaster in the res 1/2 teaspoon and my plants are 16" now .... I killed 2 plants cause the nozzel touched the stem for a while on them..... now i just removed 8 males .... so i have 4 plants left ..... we should start a sunlightshed thread for sunlightshed users problems |
Yeah, I hear ya' my cab took forever to arrive too. Have you noticed any problems with a light leak from the top section down to the main growing area?? There's about a 1/2" gap at the front of the shelf where the doors close.
I didn't use the hydro stuff, I figured I'd use soil to learn how the cab works then maybe switch over to hydro.
I haven't had any problems with the heat, I did with smell, until I noticed that I hadn't plugged in the main exhaust fan. But you should have 2 fans blowing in down below, as well as the exhaust up top, plus the fan for the light should be plugged in too. My temps get to about 85/86 at the most by the top of the light, but down low under the canopy the temp can be nearly 20 degrees cooler.
We do need a sunlight shed thread. I need to figure out how to install some lighting for the top half, that little bulb they gave isn't enough to keep mothers going.
