hmmmm good question......got a small cab..going to be a bit risky but the male will be small so wont be loads of pollen, last time i stuck it in the cab and just shook it lol...did seed a few buds on the next plant though...

when they get a tail i make a hole in the coco and put the seed in tail down and cover the seed head a little and water in.....if yours are working then it matters not.........

not moving them just yet wanna give them 3 weeks under the CFL's first , i need to be abit carefull now ive got this new tent all the extra space is making me greedy and if im not carefull ill end up germing like 20 odd seeds haha . i want to wait until ive chopped the PPP and the AK48 before i put the others in there. i hear ya bout the mh , they kick out loads of heat , doesnt help now the weathor is getting warmer also , the other day my tent was reading 31.1 degrees but the room the tents in was near enough the same temp, notmuch i can do about it, its because the sun had been shining direct at the room ... ibet the CFL self ballasts arnt that far behind the MH in terms of heat !

MH chuck out some serious heat mate, ive just swapped over from my 250w mh too 250w cfl because of the heat issue. With the mh the temps were 32 with the cfl there down too 24 the cfl really cant compete with the mh in terms of growth but i only start seedlings under it for a week or so then they go under the hps. Running your lights at night helps with temps, if you can bring in fresh air into the tent via an open window this helps as does venting into another room but if its a hot day your right, not much you can do about it. Ive used ac in the past to combat heat but i was using alot more wattage then now ive dropped down a few watts and use air cooled hoods heat isnt really a problem.......yet lol well see what happens when it gets really hot.
