You've done your research and you've got a plan. You want to grow some dope and build a real nice set up in order to do so. So you wander down to the hardware store with a list of things to get and you're browsing through the isles. Or you're at the local garden centre looking for supplies. Sure...

I love this site. You guys rock.

Ok, so moved my box to a colder area of the house. Like way colder. The lights are the only heat source and right now it's actually sitting around 75. Much safer now, right? Here's where my questions take a complete flip. Let's say I decide to go to flower soon. After 12 hrs the lights go off...

No CO2 set up. Right now I'm in veg but plan on flowering very soon so I would like to drop the temps a fair bit. This weekend I'm picking up a small osc fan and hoping that helps. Maybe add another intake vent hole. This makes sense. Ok so lets say I don't know what strain I have and...

I'm hearing a few different things on ideal temps for my grow box. I think I've managed to dial in on about 82*F consistently. Some are telling me this is a good place to be at while others are saying I should be aiming for about 75*F. Anyone got anything legitimate to say on this?

Get this, I've been have temp control issues. Like that's something new on this forum, right? But I couldn't figure out why. At nights the temps in the box would soar to above 90F. Daytime would drop to high 70's. What's the deal? I started to pay attention to the temp I have set in my house...

...nobody?

No, I've been going 24hrs. There's still a few light leaks I need to work out, especially with the exhaust. Lights just flooding right out from there! So I'm reluctant to go 12/12 at the moment. But 12/12 from seed? I didn't know that was a thing?? Makes sense I guess. And no, not auto. Lol, ya...

Oh and just an extra note on this; not sure why this happened but I hooked up neg to neg and pos to pos (I was certain to make sure what was what) but nothing happened. Then I reversed it (neg to pos and pos to neg) and sure enough it worked... but in reverse. So I just installed the fan...

Ok, so during germination I had a few other plants sharing the grow space along side my "budz" but today I decided to get them outta there and devote the space to Numero Uno. I adjusted the hight of the lights and at first had them about 2 inches away from the little guys. This shot my temps way...

Ya? Well that's why I'm going LST but your right I'm a bit worried too that as a first time grower I'll kick it into flowering too late and BOOM I'll have weed growin where it's not supposed to... which you would think shouldn't be a bad thing. Anyway, thanks for the tips Scrotie.

Ok, so I'm happy to report that after only a day and a half the little guys are peaking out of the ground and are photosynthesizing as we speak! I planted 5 seeds and so far I'm at 100% with all of them above dirt now. So, now a question on watering. Up until now i've been keeping the soil...

Just what I was lookin for. Thanks bozo!

Nice! Looks like a fun project. Subbed.

Classy set up man! Not worried it'll catch fire bein card board and all? Chronic, there should be a link to my journal in my signiture if you're lookin for more ideas. Walmart shelving unit wrapped in black/white poly. Looks to me though your little buddies are doin fine in what you already got...

When do you start adding the nutes? Right as the little guys pop out or give it some time to grow a few leaves?

Hey all, So I just started my first grow and I'm pretty excited about it. I've been looking around and I can't seem to find the nute ratio for the soil I've decided to start with. I went with store bought premixed seed starter, Hordibec's organic seed starter mix, for simplicities sake but...

Frick nm me, replying to an old post

12/12 is what kicks it into flowering. You don't want to go 12/12 unless you're sure it's time to flower. For veg I've gathered that it's just a personal preference to go 24 hrs or 18/6. I'd go with what Dragon311 says, half way. Don't want to run out of room before all's said and done.

Thanks guys. I'm growing northern lights because I've heard they're a good starter strain. And I can't find a nute profile for the soil i'm using. Like I said for simplicities sake I won't delve into nutes much this time around, I'm just trusting the soil I got will have what the little guys...
