Evening all,
first time user of the site. Long time user of Marijuana, first time grower.
I'm now on day five of my first grow and like most first timers I have an abundance of questions so any help would be great.
I'm growing 3 plants indoors inside a 100cm x 200cm x 100cm grow tent using a 600watt HID Lamp suspended approx 2 1/2 feet above the three seedlings using a a 3 speed oscillating fan for air circulation and a small turbo fan for exhausting from the tent. I'm pleased to say that I have 3 little seedlings of about 2 inches at the moment and growing fast. I water them when dry and not excessively, I've used some Formulex nutrient solution in 1 watering so far and only plan on using the nutrients once a week.
Now for the problems I'm having. The Hygrometer, when the light is on, which it is for 16 hrs a day at the moment, states that the temp is an even 30 degrees celsius and that humidity is at approx 24% and that it's dry in there. It only becomes comfy in the tent when the lights are off for 8 hours, temp drops to 25 degrees and humidity goes up to about 50%. What would be the best & most cost effective way to rectify this situation?
My next question would be, how long should I give the seedlings before letting them Veg under 24 hour lighting? I was thinking 7 days but I'm open to suggestions?
Once in Veg state I was planning on a 30 or 40 day Veg before flowering for approx the same time.
Any help and advice would be really appreciated folks
I live in Scotland so outdorr growing is definately not on the cards. I will post some pics soon as well for some more advice but I'm still finding my way around.
Thanks folks.
