They are autoflowering seeds.
They have germinated with white root coming out
I place all 3 seeds inch down or so.
I water about 20-30ml of water not to much
Temp is about 29-35 atm

Question -
Is temp ok?
isit ok to have big fan on setting one pointing towards middle of light to cool it down abit?
how much water should i be putting in at this stage?

Thank you for reading :D

Ooh my, first of all, there is nothing quick in growing plants, its a slow process

and tell me, how did you find out you could use a 400 HPS to grow with ? and how did you find the Auto seed`s ? I mean Im sure the same places you found that info, also have some info about the temperatures are optimal at 24-29C doing lights on, and some info about how to water plants in soil and how importent it is to let em dry out in between watering and when you water to make sure you water until you see some coming out them big drain holes in the bottom of your "black" pot`s

thats fine, now, find some duct tape or similar and make then clear plastic "pot" dark, roots don't like the light

also make sure you have atleast a few nice drain holes in the bottom of em

then water, as I said untill there is a bit comming out them drain holes so you know all the soil is moist,, I guess 1/4 to 1/2 a liter in them small pots would do it, then wait untill dried out, proberbly 3-4 day`s depending on growth and temperatures, so if you keep them 35C its more like every other day

but you should not keep 35C thats too high, get it down under 30C asap

do you have any kind of ventilation going on in there beside the fan ? its also nice for odor control once your plants get bigger/start to flower, a nice 4 inch ventilation and a filter to fit would really help the temperatures, a few PC fan`s just don't cut it with big HID light

IMO I would also look in to a cool tube

Ooh yea and cardbord is`t the best combo with water/plants/high humidity, easy to attract mold

Nice lil set up,but please be advised even 3 autos can take up alot of space in a few weeks or so.1 mistake i think u made was planting so deep,1/16-1/4 in is about how far i plant so its easier to break soil.Me personally i put them on top and sprinkle a lil soil over them,IMO they grow faster,my last indoor grow i did it this way and with-in a few hours from germination they went from root with husk still attached to 2 leaves showing(not including the cotyledon)

Ok i wil take new pic i put the fan at the top I will take more pictures 2 minute

Ok so i will put duct tape on the clear pots , i drilled about 4 holes in each and also cracked them so should have enough drainage, i put the big fan on and now temps is stable at 29ish

Im in ground floor flat so no kind of venting is prob not possible

replace it with what? I tooke out the cardboard buying a 12" fan to keep temp to 30c and will duct tape the tubs, what else is there, the reason i put the cardboard to block out the light for it to be more discreet.. thanks for help guys so far

Good luck. You are going to need it.
any input on what is wrong?

I dont know how to block out this light in the door crease.. this is why i block it with cardboard but idk... any suggestion

I move the ballast to the top shelf of the cupboard and put a fan blowing onit as i think this was creating addional heat
