just re read through the whole thread again selective --nice job!
must be nice to upgrade from pc - tent just like that lol.
will you be running another pc grow? -- or strictly tent from now on?
82 is fine if thats the highest temp lights ON (max at 85 but 78-80 ideal)
20/4 = 20 hrs lights on and 4 hrs lights off.
you are running autoflower strain so you can 20/4 -- 18/6 throughout the whole cycle.
poke some hole in that seran wrap over the container -- keep lights on at about 3-4"...
hey audiopulse.
i had the same problem with the heat -- so i had to modify the case i got as well.
the current fans in those case i believe = 30CFM +/- (google the fan name etc)
you will need higher CFM fans (100+ would be ideal 120mm)
how powerful is that 4" fan that you added...
2 months to finish up the grow?
i can tell you right now that your photos wont be finished in time.
photoperiod plants takes roughly 8-12+ weeks of flowering (depending on strains)
i would personally keep the lights running at 20/4 in favor of the 2 auto plants - maximizing plant growth and...
dont be scared to bend em over bro.
you can make em go around the container if you have to.
but atleast you have a tent for finishing.
goodluck amd looking forward to update.!
400w with 4 plants = 100w per plants.
which is enough to penetrate alot of growth.
yield depends on alot of things tho.
nutrients/ph issues/heat issues/ etc etc etc -- lots of variables.
you said you had 2 auto + 2 photo.
your yield with the auto plants will decrease when you put em on 12/12...
1 x 250w would be nice if you can make it fit and CONTROL TEMP.
4x23w would work as well and it would be alot cooler than the 250w.
for lights: fit as many as you can or go as big as you can as long as youre able to control the temp issue.
wouldnt be any good if its too hot.
autoflower plants...
5 weeks old? -- you can definitely start feeding now.
if im not mistaken -- youre using FFOF soil?
- should have enough nutrients on its own to feed the plants needs for 3-4 weeks.
you can then feed the plants with whatever nutrients you choose.
- start @ 1/4 strength and make your way up slowly.
