That depends on how big the plants are. If you've had them in a seperate veg room and they're ready for flowering, you can water 4-5 times a day during the12 hr light period. If they're new babies and they're staying there from start to finish, start with once a day and watch for droop. When they request more water, give them another feeding . . . and so on.

6' pots huh?

Thanks Gator, those pots you're using are the exact same ones I used for my first grow and the roots ended up very tightly packed in, unless I let the plants grow too tall. How long/large should I let plants get in this thing, last ones were cut down at about 3.5ft tall.

im having trouble with mine. i bought a 2000 dollar system and the temps are getting pretty high. if i keep it closed i get around 88 and if i open it, im only getting down to 78. That is with the lights on. when lights are off i can get it around 70- 75 which is all good... i have my a/c running fool power and it is 67 in the house. what can i do to control temp with it closed! i cant keep it open

Need a little more info. Do you have an enclosed light hood? How big are the exhaust and intake line? Do you have a fan on the intake? What "system" did you buy for 2k?

Get that heat down FAST. Keep an eye on your humidity. Mold can develop rapidly.

They will survive at 88 degrees. It's not ideal, but it will work. I've grown in warmer. You may also want to just add Co2. It will help the plants deal with the heat and grow with more vigor anyway. Win-Win.

No it's not ideal at all. If you're seeing 88 when it closed on a normal day, you'll easily see 90+ when it gets warm outside. That kind of heat causes the humidity levels to skyrocket. MF'in Mold!

If Co2 helps solve that, wonderful! I'm not running it YET, but I will be very soon. Most important, make sure you're using an air-cooled hood and you've got a good source of fresh air.

This is not a cheap hobby when you want to do it right.

What difference will it make what temperature it is outside? He's stated he's running his A/C and keeping the room it's in at 67 degrees. I'm assuming (because we don't have the information yet) that this $2000.00 is self contained - closed unit.

There are a lot of ways to get temps down and they should be kept reasonably low (mid 70's), but the range for growin really is more like 72-90 degress.

I would stop running your household A/C at full blast to keep the temps down. You may as well go out and buy weed then. You're cooling an entire home because you need one little space cooled. Get an A/C unit JUST for this.

And please post more info about your setup so we can have a little better idea what options you may or may not have.

Pictures would be ideal as would a link to the MFG's website or an online retailer who sells it.

i was just wondering what is a good time period to water plants, so i know what to put on my timer

I haven't seen any $2k self-contained units. I've seen a lot of tents though, and you can easily spend $2k+ on accessories. Waiting for more information.


This is a hydo thread, so I'm going to assume that's your plan of attack. What stage of growth are you in?

i'm in the seedling stage
