Hello Everyone,
Well i know i look at post with pic more, here is my shot (feeling VERY parinoid). My room is 6x4 1/2x4 1/2, i have bb, bubble & skunk, i have Bubbleponics Complete kit.
1. All the seeds have germed except for the BB. i germinated all of them in a paper towel in a tupperware bowl with top, inside a cookie tin placed at the top of my light in my grow room.
2. The 3 in the rockwool are the bubblicious and skunk. As soon as they popped i put them in rockwoll, about an inch deep under 2-105 and 1-85 watt CFL lights.

I took 2 of the 5 lights down (my 2 85w) and that reduced the temp alot. These are the light i took down... is there a way to reduce the temp and put these back in ??

If I could help I would but I'm a newb. XD
Then why post at all?

I don't know much about hydro but from the yellowing of your plants looks to me that you may be over feeding/watering them and from what I've learned your temp and humidity is not out of control, 80 - 90 temperatures are not necessary bad as long as you have good ventilation, do you have fresh air coming and going from your room? if not you might consider inline and outline fans. for the humidity that sounds about right, I was told the lower your humidity the better, mines anywhere's from 40 - 50 and my plants are doing fine.

Yes but not too close, keep the lights far away at first, I would keep them about 5 - 8 inch, some people keep them under light the hole time as I did.

Will do ... any input about my soil plants? Germniated and put into Black Gold (seedling start) I have never added anything to them and they are about 4-5 weeks old (little huh...)time to start? I know i am not over watering... i water ever 4-5 days. What are the best nutes for soil, i was thinking of using Fox farm, but any cheaper sugestion welcome.

Thanks again

Dude, you're overreacting big time. Your humidity is fine, your temp. is just about right, maybe a few degrees over. They look just about right. I agree with previous advice, looks like a little overwatering. Go a little longer between waterings, it encourages roots to grow (to search for water) Improve your ventilation if you want to lower the temp a little. Next time remove plastic off rockwool, (soak them a few hours in 5.5Ph water if you didn't) and plant seeds about half the depth you did. Good Luck with it!

Go buy a cheap 5,000 BTU AC and get the room temp around 68-73 degrees. Mary Jane likes an almost chilly enviroment.

How much does that BTU AC run and where can i get one???? Well with my hydro grow i feel alot better thanks for the encouragement. I just planted my bubblicious & skunk into the rockwool today so i will give it till Thursday then i will start again. I separated my soil plants and added nuted for the first time in their little lives, checked the PH of run off was about 5-5.5 . Give some updates when i get some changes. BTW how do you start a grow journal?

Good SMoking all...

you are going to want to rasie the pH of the soil if the run off is only 5-5.5. What is the pH of the soil?

i am on my second grow with dwc setup and i must say u will learn alot after the first grow. ph for dwc should stay around 5.5 to 5.8 because its a constant feed system anything over or under will cause the plants to not sprout quickly or yellowing leaves will occur very quickly. ph for your soil should be at around 6.0 to 6.5. it looks to me like your soil plants are having a pretty big nitrogen def. u need some nutes for them. since you are doing both soil and dwc go with foxfarms liquid fert tri pack for soil and add the hydro grow nutes in the combo as well. use the soil pack for your soil and instead of the soil grow for your hydro use the hydro grow. then u can add the tiger bloom and big bloom between both of the types of grow. just make sure u dont use foxfarm soil grow for your hydro setup it will over nute almost immediately. also make sure u have adequate ventilation in your box otherwise high temps are almost impossible to get down. you dont need as much incoming air as outgoing. but i would suggest around a 110 cfm computer fan for exhaust and maybe an 80 cfm for intake with a decent circulating fan. i am currently doing dual 110 cfm pc fans for exhaust and no intake fan (just an open hole) with a walmart 2 spd portable hanging fan. works great in my tent the temps never break 78f. currently saving to get a carbon filter and higher cfm exhaust fan.
