I'm still in highschool and live with my parents, with a little bit of research I decided to grow in my closet, I'm new to this whole rollitup thing but, bare with me

I'm growing 5 mystery seeds that I pulled out of a bag
I'm using a 150 watt HPS light
1 gallon pots
Fox Farm Ocean Forest
A small 9 inch fan for ventilation



My babies

Here to enjoy the show!!!sub'd!

So looks good so far dude, just curious but what schedule are you running your lights and also if you dont want so much spacing between nodes i would move that light closer, just hold your hand underneath it and whereever you arm is comfortable and not getting too warm that the best place to have it!

around what are you temps in there range from

and have you decided what route to take on nutes once they need it!!

My temp is (73-75) degrees
I was going to have 5 short plants and leave them in the 1 gallon pots and do it without any nutrients, what do you think about that idea?

ok well if you want them short that light needs to be closer and also how many hours is your light on to off... Besides that your temps really good and its nice to have a little air flow on the plants so they get strong and support those massive buds :)

well i used a 600 wat hps within 18 inches of my plants, you should be able t0 to get them at least that close. but lower it to about 2 ft awayfrom the tops then place your hand on top of the plants if you cant feel the heat or you can but it is not hot them move closer. once it starts to be to hot for your hand then it is to hot for the plants. or if you have a thermometer then just use that on top of the plant and take the temps.
and i was just wondering about the light, it almost looks like a blacklight, i used one about that size when i was a kid for 2 plants and it was not near enough light to do much

you can still lst but 1 gal is kinda small to go from seed to flower but it can be done so if you have nothing else bigger and no more soil then it will be fine. also i just noticed the pots arent full with soil, it isnt bad, but next time try to fill almost to the rim of the pot
