Hey guys. So my room is about an hour from my house at another location. This is my first grow. i started the seeds in rapid plugs after being germinated in paper towell with distilled water. 100% germ rate on all seeds. og kush white widow critical blue thai and a few other freebies. The light on the other hand i started them with was 4 of the 6500k cfl's plugged into a power strip with the humidity dome on with the vents halfway open. they stretched incredibly almost over night it seemed so thumbs up to royal queen and dinafem for that. but i was out of town for these 2 days and didnt get a change to catch them till this point. So i took a q tip soaked in ph 5.7 water to tuck some of the root back into the cube took a piece of the plug and stuffed it down in the hole to kinda seal it up so the roots would develop, and propped them up with various stiff objects and loosely tied them with some dental floss to give them some stability. well in an attempt to stop stretching i went ahead and put them under a 1000w mh light i have set up with a 18 site ebb and flow. heres the thing. i have so much cool air ventilation on the lights. the tops of the hoods are cool to touch and there is absolutely no heat coming in the room (verry little if at all) because of the ducting i used. So 3 feet under the MH 1000w? they seem to be doing ok under it and standing up pretty well. but some are a little lanky. i have the dome off and air circulation going with a oscillation fan running and a exhale co2 bag just untill they go into the ebb and flow. in the background is a critical cheese auto i got for a freebie i threw into a pot for gits and shiggles shes the only one under the 1000w mh so im thinking she will be a bute! but what im asking here is since these are stretched this much once i see roots showing through the plugs, should i transplant into the ebb and flow with 1/16, 1/8th the nutes recommended by GH and try to bury them a little deeper into the net pots and only expose the leafs about an inch above the top of my grow medium. (leaving the lanky part under the grow medium) or should i wait for them to get a few sets of true leafs first. its already looking like each one has 2 sets. these pics are about 3 days old.
The ventilation is blowing 72 deg air from an air vent right beside a 2.5 ton A/C through both 1000w hoods......then i addded a 7 inch inline so when the ac is off its still pulling 72 deg air from throughout the house. My first grow but i try to perfect everything before i attempt. but if stable 81 deg is hard to obtain should i get a fan speed controller and knock her down to 80% and let the heat raise a little? plausible method for controlling temp? and BTW the carbon filter pulls and goes straight out and up into the room and blows across a ballasts to help keep it cool. so does the exhaust for the closed loop cooling system for the lights.
Im open for constructive criticism, tips, ideas, what worked for you, etc etc. anyone feel free to chime in i would love to hear all your expierences if you have had similar room designs. ill attach pictures to help you explain. Again one of my first few posts but you guys are awesome so thanks in advance.
DoGood everyone!
p.s. since the cheese around these parts is more of a head for me sorry for the lack of sentence structure. ill work on it after my better meds finish growing Jah willing.
