Hey guys just got 9 clones for my dr90 3x3x5.6 600w hps
My temp is 25°C Humid 50-60% is this going well or do i need more heat ?

I have the tube maybe 40cm away from clones and the ballast set on 400w should i just put it on 600w?

Lumii 600w dimable
Cooltube 125mm
Filter 330m3
Fan 330m3 4"?
Dr90 tent
Coco 6.5L Pots.
Going for some kind of SOG. :)

Any advice or help much appreciated

early stage clones need very little light. i use cfl's for rooting mine. just keep an eye on em, if they seem unhappy, raise it up. id start at about 24" for young clones. def leave it at 400watt.

Thank you for the advice. But they are on 3-5node about 15cm all rooted and ready to go. I just gave them plane water to sattle first in the pots. Do you think i will need to give them neutrians right away?

In coco? I would imagine so. Have you not read up on this? Back off with that light.

Yes that is better. Gradually move the light down or the plants up. You will see when the plants starts to pull back when you get too close.

Oki taking it all in thanks for the help :)

So i mixed 10liters with nutrients GH, Ph 5.5-6.0 fed them a little cuz i already gave them just plane water, thinking of all the nuterians in the coco b'cuzz is the brand. But how much should i hand water them per day? I have only done 1 grow like 7years ago and that was dwc so any help on the go is verry helpfull hehe :)

i feed my plant that is in coco every day to every other day, depending on how heavy it feels. one thing i fucked up on when i was new to coco was i read all over that you really cant overwater a plant in coco, this is NOT true. i reluctently fed my plant every day, regardless wat the plant was telling me, and it got SO droopy and sad until i backed off the amount of waterings.
You really have to observe and feel out the plant, and adjust accordingly to the plants needs. i know that answer is vauge, but you'll get the hang.

Oki thats what i thought but the guy in the store sounded like he knew everything. But i have a little problem with temp, i put the filter and fan in the tent and it dropped to 20-22c 50% hum. What you think about this?

when humidity and temp outside yr tent\grow room rise or fall,it will change yr grow space temp/humidity, unless you have a completly sealed grow space with independent air control...
yr temps arent bad, lower in fact, which is strange because usually after hooking to a filter it lowers the airflow and raises temps.
Yr RH is good also, aprx 50% is fine. If yr levels are jumping around, you may want to think about getting a dehumididier\humidifier. I currently dont adjust mine and have been lucky thus far....but im considering it to because rh is important. A dehumidifier helps when drying yr herb also...nothing worse then tryin to dry bud in 90-100% rh, beleive me.

Oki thankfully i am not having to high RH problems.

Now the lights off temps are 19°c and 40% RH but i have the filter and fan off. But i have a small fan maintaining air circulation. IF i put the filter fan on then temps will maybe drop by 2°C roughly 17°c is that too cold? Shoulf i just leave the fan/filter off to keep my temps at 20°c?

Thinking ahead about when i switch to flower and cant turn the filter off cuz of smell then i will have thease temps 18°c. Maybe less it gets colder by the day. :(

Im thinking yr fan is not strong enough with the filter on since it heats up when you run yr fan. Fans should LOWER temps. Wat is the cfm on yr fan? Is it an inline?

Both the filter and fan are 330m3 200cfm? It heats only up when the lights are on i have a 600w bulp in the tube but dimmable so i have it set to 400w 26inches away from clones.

I only have the fan/filter ON, When lights are on. Cuz if i have them on when lights are off it gets too cool i think is 18/19°C to cold?
