First Hydro Grow in SuperLocker 2.0 Need seed help

[Favre2Harvin]

I'm gonna keep my eye on this thread to see what happens. I like stealthy grows. As for the light it might hurt your eyes idk but it will be bright. just put on some sunglasses when its on.

F2H.

If you stare into it yes

I don't have growgales (can't spell the fucking things) could the hps bulb hurt my eyes ??

Those "growggles" or whatever are a joke. For the 100 bucks they cost, you'd be far better off checking CL and finding a gently worn pair of polarized Oakleys or something.

Ok superlocker 2.0 came today...

- Was nicely shipped and packaged, have not went over the mechandise yet so don't know if I got everything.

Ok here are a couple of readings from the meters I received.

Ok the temperature in my location is abot 69-70F
Relative humidity is 53-55
ppm was at 158

Please comment

good place to start. lights will add a shitload of heat if its not aircooled.

Dont think its's aircooled. The temp inside the dark empty cabinet is 68 deg......... I Will keep posted as I am busy, I am trying to get this up and running by the weekend.

Also I guess my ph is around 7, according to the shitty tester they gave me. Does walmart sell digital ph testers ????

Are the numbers you've listed with the light on?

And yeah... PICS PLEASE!!!

Doesn't it use 4.5'' axial fans to push air through a cool tube?

Not even sure... I will post pics as soon as I get a pop in a seedling.... Quick Question is ph of about 7 (shitty meter they gave) normal for water out of the faucet??

 

[Bigz2277]

depends on where you live. mine comes in at 8.o

 

[Meast21]

Think they gave me the wrong equipment. The fucking socket for the econo wing WON'T go throught the back opening of the locker because it's to big............ IF this is the case this is getting returned. HELP PLEASE

 

[JJFOURTWENTY]

Honestly bro, just return it if you can and build yourself a bad ass grow tent outfitted with the best gear, which is entirely possible considering the amount of money you spent on that locker.

agreed. An econowing reflector isnt aircooled. i can tell you from experience working with micro cabs. it will get way to hot in there to acutally leave the door closed.

Ok got most things straightened out..... I have the A-ok starter plugs from grodan, am I suppose to soak these in the adjusted ph water ? I know u guys said u had to soak the rockwool for 3 days.

 

[Bigz2277]

not trying to bash you, but in my opinion this stuff should already be common knowledge before you start. If you dont add water to the starter cubes, where would it come from?

 

[mike91sr]

Pretty sure he's talking about pre-soaking them to address their high ph, not just giving them water.

meast, soak in 4.5-5.0 water for a day or 2.

ah ok, ya not sure what those starter blocks are made of but with Rockwool having a slighty high ph, we tend to ph it downward to help with this.

It the dangro plugs make it sound like you don't need to soak in phd water.... I probally know 95% of the basics, I just have to put them to test.

 

[Bigz2277]

alright. let us know how they go
