I totally broke the fan running it on high power and testing it out haha

tomorrow im going to take it apart and try and fuck with it again... i think that the temp gauge is wrong and i think if i can get this thing working it will be fine

considering people get lower temps with 2 computer fans and this thing is more then that, i think ill be fine... im going to hook it up to a temperature gauge itself in the hopes that it will turn on when the temps high and the lights are on, but off when the lights are low and temps are low

Yea, man i got these fans from walmart about 5 or 6 a piece and broke the first one because i hooked it up to a 12V adapter and it was supposed to be a 3V adapter, lol:-)

Looking real good.

Where did you get your seeds from?

Looking for a reputable vender myself.

How are temps today??

Do realize the more red light you send them the hotter the box is going to get, they put out alot more heat than the daylight CFL's. I'm thinking about getting a 3rd 40w soft white. Hopefully temps wont get out of hand.

DAY 6 - Big Decisions

Day: 6
Lights: 12/12 (6 cfl, 100 watts equ)
Strain: Plant 1,2,3 - White Widow; Plant 4 - LR2
Temperature: 100
Humidity: 25
Watered: no
Nutraints: none
Inside Smell: none
Outside Smell: none
Other:

Here are the plants today:






But I have big decisions today and im possing them to everyone here

1) I think I have one to many plants, they barely fit into the grow box and im worried as they give bigger it will crowd out... suck it up or kill one??????

2) The temperature is 95-100 regularly... the box is to hot because of the amount of lights... should I cut down the amount of lights or should I deal with high temps???

i guess since your limited for space you should take out one plant and a cfl or two and use the extra plant as an outside grow or somthin:blsmoke:....but dont kill it!!!!

I say stick with all of them in case 1 or 2 end up being males, as for the temp this is also a concern with my grow, i know i need more lights but the temps are high as it is so i dont know what to do, do you have pics of your setup? Maybe taking 1 or 2 off for now...
