    hps in a closet, first grow

    Are you sure? Those branches just doesn't seem to have that much potential =P Yeah but won't I get a much better yield if I wait for another 2 weeks before switching? The Mangos are really tiny still

    hps in a closet, first grow

    So here's a picture update and a question for you guys Day 17 from seed #1 #2 #3 So this is how #2 and #1 looks close up from the side, my question is, should I maybe try to cut off these small branches that it's starting on between the big ones? Will it make the plant focus more on...

    hps in a closet, first grow

    It was my first time making a pot so I'm not sure, but I made three 1" diameter holes in the bottom and made holes in the bag and poked the bag through, not sure how well it would work. Poked some holes in the soil around the plant let's hope it has recovered tomorrow!

    It's not looking well at all :( what should I do? I transplanted it about 48 hours ago and then I think I overwatered it 36 hours ago, it was looking a bit better earlier today but now it looks worse, any difference that it's the dark hours now?

    Thanks! It's working pretty nicely! Two of them have gotten a lot bigger, but yesterday I overwatered the one I transplanted and it is slow recovering :(

    hps in a closet, first grow

    Aha okay, thanks for the suggestion about the watering! The heat is actually manageable with about the height I have in the pictures there, I've had it on for 18 hours and it topped 29C but I had to have the door to the closet fully opened with my big kitchen fan blowing on the plants on 2/3...

    hps in a closet, first grow

    Yeah ok, true, it's a bit of a concern yeah... maybe I should cut off the part of the cardboard that is above the lights and just leave the part that keeps them in place?

    hps in a closet, first grow

    But I need to use it to make all the pots fit in there, I don't see why cardboard pots or putting the cfls in cardboard like that would be a problem? Though I listened to you and got the aluminium foil out of there and I have abandoned the idea about having a cardboard sheet with a fan in it...

    Hm I will see, I have some cardboard so it's convenient, and I don't have access to a saw... The problem with the plants seems to be heat stress from what I can gather, raised the lamps a bit more

    hps in a closet, first grow

    I havn't watered her for 24 hours though and I've raised the lamp. Is underwatering possible?

    hps in a closet, first grow

    My preliminary plan is to put a big cardboard sheet covering the door, make a hole in the middle of it and place 4 computer fans and a homemade carbon filter, do you think that would work? :P The first set of leaves are starting to not look as healthy as before on two of them, what could this...

    I'm gonna order a new 400W HPS tonight. While the light is on I will have the door open and my big kitchen fan blowing on the plants (the one in the picture at the bottom of the first post), should definitely be enough to keep the temp down right? Later on in bloom if the smell becomes a problem...

    hps in a closet, first grow

    I was thinking about getting a used 400w since it's not that expensive, I can't spend that much more money on this. A new one would cost me 158 dollars and I can get a used one for 115 dollars (I'm in sweden). How much more heat does a 600w put out compared to a 400w? A new 600w would cost me...

    hps in a closet, first grow

    I have given them plenty more water now for a couple of days, about 1.5-2 deciliters each a day. They show no signs of feeling bad but they are not growing at a much higher rate at all. I'm think they're getting too few lumens from my weak lights, so I thought I was gonna plant them in much...

    hps in a closet, first grow

    Thanks for the comments guys! Aluminium foil is really bad? I had no idea, thought I saw other grows using it. Does it leave burn marks on the plants? Should I take it all down or just inside my home-made reflectors? I don't have a watering schedule yet, like I wrote at this point I'm just...

    This is my first grow! Strain: 3x Babylonia Fruit Lights: 4x 30W CFL daylight (6500k) Light cycle is 18/6, and I'm not using any nutrients yet (the soil should supposedly be nutrient-rich though). I appreciate all comments! Setup: I keep the lights very close Day 11 since seed...
