250w HPS Club And Help Guide

7 days is a while Grazz you may want to leave them in an inch of water in trays just to be safe. I've read this works. I know if you under water its pretty hard on them. Some people run the last week or last few days in total darkness. They say the plants use less water in this dark period. Perfect for the traveling Gardner. Good luck .

Hi there Roll it up!

This is my first post and my first grow. My seeds are Grape LA from DNA Genetics. I am on day 9 from seeds.
Firstly, I have scratched the seeds in order to sprout faster, after that I've put them in stabilised rw cubes on 5.7 ph on a dark place for 36h. I will be using Atami Wilma System with clay pebbles.
Until now, my plants were under 3 CFL bulbs (14W = 60W) 24h a day on about 3-6 cm from the top (1-2 inches). On day 9 I've put them under my 250W HPS bulb on 32cm (~12") from the highest plant. Since I've put them under it, the temperature has raised between 29~33(C) (about 90-91F). I have ordered a cooling tube, but until then, I'm stuck with my little fan, that is attached to the light.
While my plants were in the rw, I was watering them ONLY, when the cubes were getting lighter, but keeping the humidity between 65-80%. On day 9, I've moved them into the clay pebbles and started watering them on every 3 hours for 15 minutes (ph 5.7 1/4 nutes).

I am really looking forward for critics and tips!!!!! Sorry for the quality of the pictures, but did not want to disturb the light cycle for few shots.
P.S. My Q? is what cycle should I use during vegetation?
P.S. Sorry if confusing unit systems.

cool setup yours. I like that you gave everyone the conversions, im fine on the metric but I don't like the celcius,makes me think too much.lol .my veg stays on 24/7,but that's the way my system is styled is has to be. from my experience I like the 20/4 cycle a little better.just as good or better growth and save on electricity. please keep us posted. whats all in the atami system?
