~600w ballest with glolux bulb
~inline fan with duct for air in
~inline fan with carbon filter for air out
~towerfan

day temp:84
night temp:70
res temp:70
ph: 5.9 - 6.2

i got my cuttings from a mate a week ago and when he bought them to me he had cloned them into soil. now this was a problem to me as i was ready for them in rockwool. anyway i done abit of searching around on here and found out that i could transplant them by washin away as much of the soil as possible, so i did this and for the next 4 days they were just sagging and i thought they were going to die but the next day they perked up abit...anyway i'll be postin pics and any advice would be welcome as this is my first indoor grow......thanks

everything looks good except for day time temp. a good target is 75 f but 80 f should be the hottest you go without co2.

Cool! I have Strawberry Cough also. They need about another week of veg then they go under my 600w, at which point I will start my journal. My temps are a little cooler, using Dyna Gro/Bloom in hydroton. Subscribed. Are your stems purple?

hey rucon, common mistake. you check air temperature at the top of the plant but with the thermometer shielded from direct light. you check radiant heat from the bulb by putting your hand at the top of the plants and lowering the light as low as you can go without burning your hand.

thanks desertrat you are helping me out here..im goin in there now to sort it out
