First grow, kinda got carried away..This work??
Hello folks! First grow, and trying to get the "perfect" environment. Any Ideas? Using a 400HPS in a 52" x 24" x 48" tall tent. 80cfm intake, Rule 240cfm bilge fan (exhaust). Modified the hood reflector with a 4" duct starter sleeve to pull heat directly off of the bulb. (hope it keeps the heat down). Smaller cabinet underneath for seedlings and clones.( may put another Rule 240 there and vent to a 4"wye with upper tent vent as well if I cant get the heat down, and then straight up into the attic with a carbon filter there. Here are some pics, with 1 week old seedlings. Anyone tell anything about these? Growing good? type? etc?? These were just bag seeds and I have NO Idea what kinda they are

looks like your ready to be a farmer man...lol holy shit go big or go home right....anyway, looks like your on your way to have a nice grow. you have the equipment, but do you have the paitence? lol youll figure out what works for you man...what type of soil and what kind of lights are they under as seedlings?
Beautiful setup! Good luck on the grow. Bag seed is perfect to start with get everything going right with that than get some nice strains. Cant wait to see what comes of that setup.
Yeah, I definitely have the patience! soil is 50% MG potting mix, 25% MG Perlite, and 25% worm castings. Just got some FF Grow Big to start soon. Just not sure what I can yield in this tent??Originally Posted by NewClosetGrower
I ordered some Nirvana WW, and some Purple widow as well. Whats some good forgiving stains to grow? Thanks BTW!Beautiful setup! Good luck on the grow. Bag seed is perfect to start with get everything going right with that than get some nice strains. Cant wait to see what comes of that setup.
For the seedlings im using 26w 6500k CFL's. I have 10 of them in that box. but it gets too hot with all of them on. I didnt realize I was making a dang oven. Thats why I may end up adding another 240cfm there too. But, the 4-6 that are on seem to be doing good..the plants look normal for their stage? PH is a little high at about 6.8 but I can pull that down if I start seeing tale tell signs....
Looks fine. It doesn't look like you got carried away at all. Thats a pretty modest setup.
Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues,
And you know it don't come easy.
Thanks man, Its been a dang money pit that's for sure!! I will keep updating everyday or 2. I have always craved to see the finest herb on the stalk..what better way, I say. The next few weeks will be real cool!
Cool setup man, I'm using a flat based CFL setup for vegging and this is making me reconsider..
Goodluck with the grow!
I hear you on that. All you can do is throw money at your setup till everything works out fine.
