LOL i like how nirvana packages their shipments.Holy shit fellas!!!
I got this little "promotional" package in the mail today. I opened it up and it was some sort of canister. I ALMOST threw it away until i noticed it was slightly twisted on top, like a barely loose bottle cap. i unscrewed it and BAM! There were 4 beautiful packs of seeds; 3 Early Misty; and 1 Durban Poison.
When Nirvana said they package seeds stealthy they were NOT lying!!! I ALMOST THREW THEM AWAY!!!!! Well anyway i didnt thank god! so now all i am waiting on is my lights and next week I am building a door frame to put the door in and Ill be all set! Everything is coming together. I wish I really knew some of you.. id say come on over and lets smoke a Hog's Leg to celebrate!
The intake air is about 77 maybe. The ballast and the lamps are in the grow room and definetly is what is causing the heat. i am also trying to bring in air from the top and "suck" it to the bottom with a powerfull Sqrl Fan (see earlier pics) and my 12" ocillating fan. I may have to redo the sqrl fan position to the top of the room. Im not sure but the temp is staying pretty constant. i think/hope/pray I will do fine with those temps.Whats the temperature of your intake air? Ya know the air going into the box. A/C duct? Other room?
No real chance for that BUT I MAY be able to put a small vent in the other wall at floor level if need be. I do have lots of circulation so there are no "hot spots" per say and it is all the same temp. Yea i was in that class to that taught you about hot and light air .. didn't they use the balloon as the teaching prop that day . I appreciate you keeping up with my log. The good stuff follows from now on. The door will be in next week and my seeds are germin!You should be fine with those temp's. Is there anyway to move the ballast out of the room? It has a 10ft cord right?(prolly not an option huh? after working on those indestructible doors lol) last thing, If you can bring air from the bottom to the top, you would be much better off, cold air sinks hot air rises, why fight it, plus, your light is up top, why push more heat from the top towards the plants(bottom)? unless of course that isn't an option for you either, but there are some suggestions for ya! Keep up the updates man, really liking the log so far! And no plants yet! Nice.
I think it would be worth it (you might already have the HPS bulb i dunno ), to get the HPS bulb for flowering. The metal halide(blue light) promotes tight internode spacing, and is great for veg growth. The hps(red) obviously is going to strech it a bit more, but is used more by the plant during flowering. I use a HPS all the way through, only because I dont have the cash for the switchable ballast . It will come though! So my answer is, Yes I think you should use MH for veg, and HPS for flowering.I'm trying to figure something out... should I start my grow with a MH bulb for veg 18/6 and switch to HPS and a 12/12 schedule after 4-5 weeks of veg? I have heard you can actually do the whole grow with the MH but your buds will be fluffier and not as dense.
Right on Thanks! I thought that is what i should do but i wanted to make sure... yes i have a switchable ballast and i do have the HPS. I have a post for you guys tomorrow on my plants sprouting.
