My humidity was about 52% with lights off. When lights are on does the humidity usually go up or down??
Temp, as long as it's not over say 85 degrees F, and humidity don't really matter too much until you've got some plants in there growing well along into the veg stage. Then these factors will begin to matter... and they'll really start to matter once you're flowering.

Supercloset really should have included a sealed reflector with the locker, especially given the price they charge and the fact it's all going into such a crammed space.

i think the standard light is aircooled, the upgrade is not.

Edit: nope. it comes with the lights i use. 150w hps from sun system.

Okay got the ph in the 5.5 range I think.... The ppm went up to about 220, the ppm started at about 150 and I think the ph up and down made the ppm go to 220, is this right??
I'm not soaking my dan-gro plugs in the water, I put the plugs in a container and put them in the top of my locker. Also I checked my 8 ball kush seeds (3) that were in a wet paper towel on the cable box for a little warmth and I think 1 seed started to crack open a root.

leave them in there till they are showing at least 1/4 " taproots, and when you plant them in the starter plugs be very careful, but put it in with the root pointing downward. tweezers work well if you have steady hands.

Okay planted 1 seed in the growplugs. Another seed is cracked open a little, while the other seed is still closed.

Okay planted 1 seed in the growplugs, placed a small piece of the growplug over the hole to block the light. Another seed is cracked open a little, while the other seed is still closed.

Here is a pic of the seed up top in the A-ok dan-gro plug. Notice the temp 79.5 and humidity at 45, is this to low?? should I turn off the fan ??Also the plug seems to get dry quick cause of the humidity, how much water should I be adding to the plug, is this plug gonna dry out overnight on me?? Thanks100_0623.jpg

I would say this, enough to keep the plug moist (not too wet because it will rot the seed)

It looks like that plug retains water very well from what I can see and what I looked up via Google.

To me, this is a crucial time in the life of a plant. You cant really mess with a seed much you kind of just have to wait a few days and keep the plug moist, and DO NOT pick up the plug too many times or move it around. (i know this seems hard at times but be patient) seeds will find there way to the light.

Not too sure about the fan, but it doesn't look like you need it for this stage. seedlings like warmer climates.

If you have a clear cup or chop a plastic water bottle in half and mist the inside with a water bottle every so often and put it on top of the plug in there it could help too.

This is all just past experience ive had luck with but you don't have to listen to me if you don't want.

agreed with the soda bottle. get that bad boy in a hum dome. then you dont have to worry about the hum in the box yet.

"Superponics" = Deep Water Culture and nothing more. DWC is not at all the most ideal choice for cabinets. Pre-made cabs in their stock form tend to get way too hot due to their use of shitty axial fans, and if you can't keep your reservoir temps cool in DWC then you're definitely headed for troubleville.
hell yeah you are! that is for real...the real deal...high temps + DWC= Disaster!
