Heya everyone!

Just starting out here.
I got me a Secret jardin DR80 (80cm x 80cm x 160cm), with a 400Watt Philips GreenPower HPS powered by a magnetic ballast (hot but utterly silent!) and cooled by a XL CoolTube and a 325m3/h Inline fan which is also the exhaust of the tent, plus a 150m3/h fan for intake.

I will be using Soil (some mix I bought at the hydroshop, no idea) with BioBizz products (got Bio Grow, Bio Bloom, Top Max, Alg-A-Mic and Root Juice).

So here are the strains I just got from SeedBoutique: Soma's Seeds Amensia Haze Standard 5 pack, Nirvana Standard White Widow 10 pack and Green House Seeds Arjan's Haze #1 Standard 5 pack.

I have put all 5 Amnesia's, 2 WW's and 2 Arjans wrapped in wet cottonwool to germinate.
Lets see how this grow goes!

I am planning on keeping all males seperate in another room in a corner with some CFL, and collecting their polen to make some seeds for my next grow, so I dont have to buy some. I can't keep a mother plant because I only have space for 1 grow spot.

Decided to germinate 9 seeds because I know I can get 5 or more Males here, so I am hoping my little space can cope with so many plants until I find out their sex.

Any advice welcome. I will be adding pics soon.
 
Sounds great! Nice mix of seeds. You will have to report back how things are going! Good Luck
 
All 5 Amnesias have sprouted, including 2 White Widows. The Arjans havent sprouted yet (They were real cheap, 15 pounds for 5 seeds, End of line stock - so they may be old).
I also sprouted another 2 White Widows to make sure I get better chances of having WW females, because Amnesia's flower period is 13 weeks, while WW is 8/10. This way we will have something to smoke to keep us happy before Amnesia is ready :)

So I'm gonna have about 9 / 10 plants in that small tent during Veg, and when I find the males I'll deport them and keep 1 of a strain to make a little bit of seeds.

Do you think a Male can survive and make nice pollen with just a CFL in some room?

The temps outdoors now are very high 30/35 celsius, so I keep the A/C on in the room with the tent. Tent temp is now between 28 and 29c (82 / 84 f). Humidity is 55% at the moment.
This is the peak of the summer so in about a month or more it should get cooler, so I won't need the A/C and will also have better temp for flowering.
I checked the water pH and it is 7.5 out of the tap, so I used pH down to get it to ~6.3.

All seedlings are now under the HPS with a bit of a distance, with a nice temp meter next to them, to make sure they are fine.
 
The babies have hatched and are growing nicely under the 400Watt HPS.
Watered them with a tiny bit of Root Juice today, and they seem to be good.

So Arjan's Haze took too long to sprout so I dumped em,
now I'm hoping to get at least one or two strong females from the White Widow and the Amnesia.

Here are some pics of the whole tent, the plants, etc.

I'm currently running them on 18/6, exhaust and intake are off during dark hours, with the small fan inside still going.IMG_3129.jpgIMG_3131.jpgIMG_3130.jpgIMG_3133.jpgIMG_3132.jpg
