Hello everyone!
Long time reader, but this is my first post. Long story short, after lots of research we decided to go big or go home. So we ordered some seeds from seedsman and away we go. 55 seeds (10 white widow, 10 Jack herer, 10 mama mia, and the rest are odds and ends...nevilles haze, lemon haze, critical, and 8 ball kush.) Too bad we didn't start a grow journal earlier but we terminated the seeds with the paper towel method, all of them popped, then we put them into seedling cells under a t5. 44 of them reached the light and now we are still going strong with 44. I guess our main issues are temp control but we are doing the best we can with a pretty constant temp of 85 f. We see some folding of leaves sometimes and other days everyone is fine. We had 2 plants get droopy but recently transplanted them into 5 gallon smart pots and they perked up.
A little about our grow area. It is in a master bedroom in our lower level which is partially underground so temperature doesn't get too hot. We have a.c. running but it barely helps with the room when all the lights are going. We have 5 600w hps in air cooled hoods. We need to put up some fans in the hoods but are having some difficulty with figuring out ducting and how to mount the fans. The space we are working with is about 450 sqft with 12 ft ceilings.
It is about to be a jungle in there but it's fun! Our set up is a little crazy and unorganized but for some noobs we are still going strong. We are at about 5 weeks of veg currently and are about to switch to flower since everyone is getting pretty big.
Tips and tricks are appreciated!!
Do you think 44 plants and 5 600w hps are going to be enough?
