I've been checking out some growjournals and see a lot of people germinate and then putting them into their grow medium. Since I will be using soil, when should i pop my seedlings into their respective soil mix? I'll not be removing the rockwool, just putting the whole thing into the soil...

After a few months of hanging around forums, reading up, I purchased a grow tent, pots and we'll most of the things you need and i'm very excited about this whole ordeal. My setup is as following (metric numbers fyi) Tent 90x90x160 (cm) 400W MH/HPS Magnetic Ballast 280m3 Fan (TT125UN) with a...

Hey, Does anybody know of a good strawberry auto strain that's available? I've ordered from royal queen seeds and they don't have any (at least when I search for strawberry) and I don't really have a clue on which seed banks are safe to order from (here in Europe). Anybody got any tips?

Oh right :) I've only got 2 vents that I can hook up fans too. One is already used for the exhaust (at the top of the tent) and the other one, bottom corner, will be used for intake of cool air. I just realised that I could position my oscillating fan by the intake so it would pull air in as...

Huh? You mean you had the same exhaust setup as I did and you added another fan to push cold air in? I might get a 12v computer fan to do that job. The air is still quite cold outside so passive cooling is working right now, probably even better with an active fan pulling air in.

Yeah, thats basically the approach I took, when it comes to germination. I dont have any CFL bulbs so I went straight for my 400W MH, since it's quite far away (moved a bit closer now though) doesnt seem to be a problem though. So I shouldn't worry about the shape of the first seedling that's...

Hey everybody! New to the forum and to growing, just about 4-5 days in total so i've got a lot to learn and hope to contribute something myself along the way :) Be seeing you all on the forums, peace!

I'm guessing the "baby leaves" shouldn't really be paid attention too since they won't really be doing anything right? I'm just curious about the shape they're taking....or rather, that it's looking to point down rather than up towards the light.

If you're asking about germinating it first, then I would put the seeds in a moist paper towel before throwing it into rockwool, makes it easier to check if you've got duds and then you don't really need to worry about any PH issues.

Yeah, I know. I've got a digital thermometer and humidity meter down by the seedlings as well as one that's hanging about 15cm below the cool tube. I've got about 28.5 below the cool tube and about 26.5 by the seedlings, which is quite alright in my book. Got any tips on how to, get a stable...

Yeah, either side of the hand :) Oh wow, only 24 inches ? Haha I had mine about 40-45 inches away :P Moved mine down a bit now, we'll see how the temps change too.

True that. Is it a safe way to "measure" that I hold my hand over the top of a plants leaves, hold it for about 10-15sec and if there's any discomfort I need to back off the light? As of now, one of the seeds is about 50% of the way to have its first leaves facing the light. It'll probably do...

Amazed at how fast, when the seeds sprout, they fan out the leaves. A few hours ago, they were still below the surface.

Fucking huge plant man!

Yeah, but isnt that difference in the heat generated only marginal? In the whole big picture sort of way. Anyways! Temp down to 24-25 and one seed has sprouted! The "shell" is still bent over, but i can see that leaves have formed and will probably show up later tonight or tomorrow :) quite...

Opened a window and got the temp down to a nice 26C, since the tent can remain "sealed" and the room be colder, it shoult cool the tent down and the air passing into the tent also. We'll se tomorrow how this test will pan out. Anyways, thanks everybody for your fast replies :) I'll get back...

Nope, that's the problem. It's an appartment and nothing to vent to im afraid. Yeah well....I just reached 30C....fuuuck :) Oh well, nothing is unsolvable!

According to some random converter, 280m3 is ~165cfm Yeah, I know, problem is, the exhausted air is quite hot, around 35-36C which raises my room temp to about 25C...So, actually that the growtent is only 5C higher is quite good, perhaps I do need to open a window.

Errr, not sure the diameter of the fine tbh, it's called TT125UN. Note sure about the cfm, but rated at 280m3/h at full rpm, im usually running it about 50% but i've calculated that even at 20% air transfer loss, I should still be moving the totalt m3 of my tent per minute.

Haha, the active ventilation is setup like this: Carbon filter - duct - cooltube (400W MH/HPS) - duct and then exhaust out. Passive ventilation is just at the bottom, a screen which is have open when the light is on. I'm guessing since the fan is pulling the air, it creates a negative pressure...
