Ok I made changes today- got a fan, and new chain, and blocked a window.

I am Running HPS Ballast with a MH COnversion Bulb 1000W. I had the light so high because I cant seem to get the temperature down.

I ran it 18 hours today- 3 left actually.
Temp ranged from 87-92F
Humidity 27-50%

This is my first grow-

Please send me ideas on how to get my temp down!!!!
I need to get these past the seedling phase.

its your soil i bet. Those babies should be growin like "weeds"

hydro bucket works great my buddy used one for his first grow and had bad ass results.

He then switched out half of his next crop to soil and had a hole shit load of problems. shit would lock up a lot.

I was wondering the same thing... The soil is Jungle Growth(only thing close by) and does compress easily and has 0-0-0. I actually just got back from getting a new bag of soil with light fertilizer- .24-.12-.12 with fertilizer. and some fox farm liquid nutes 6-0-0.

I am thinking to start with the soil move on the established plants and see what the effect is. tomorrow is day 9. If transplant is success i'd like to start feeding droplets of nutes into water.

Day 9

Ok so first of all thanks for all the comments and ideas. I am using much of the ideas you all are giving and they are all helping ALOT to find the right answer for my circumstance.

Here is the current state of things. I transplanted my seedlings to their own pots last night and watered with a mix of half gallon water/ one spoonful of root hormone.

The A/C in the house is cranked down to 67F and everyone is freezing their Asses off. This is keeping it 78F at plant height- with a box fan pointed over the plants toward the open door. (However I expect it to get to 88F in the heat of the day. I am running 1000W MH 36" from plant top 18/6 from 5 a.m. till 11 p.m.)

RH 30% I am on my way to get a humidifier.

I need to control the temp better. I am looking for anything short of buying/building a cool tube. Any Ideas?

Also- PH is still above 7- should I fix this now or will it be easier to wait till i add nutes and let the soil get more acidic tha way?

i would get your PH a.s.a.p just incase for less stress on the babies.

and as for the temp. is that your only access to air flow is the door open and a box fan?

! How do i fix my PH? Grow stores are all closed tomorrow.

Day 10

I scored a $5 humidifier at the local thrift store. And installed a box on my other window to block all light. I put a vent from it to a 1320 CFM exhaust fan installed in a box 18x18x12 with 6" ports on both sides- its thermostat is set to 70F and it is running non stop.

My light is still pretty hot 79F at plant level (but it peaked at 91.8 this afternoon!). House thermostat set to 67- actual is 73F. Humidity up to 39%.

any thoughts and help welcome.
