Light can get through the hydroton - you should put a piece of panda plastic on top of them (that's what i do).yeah i filled the other pots up with hydrocks!!!
edit: how far is your HPS from your seedlings, inches/feet wise?
yeah i'm buying a 6" inline fan that's going to suck heat off the light and suck air out of the closet. And I'll be making a homemade carbon scrubber to go outside of the room. this is going to be a much better grow this time around!I never used HPS on seedlings, so I can't say.
Are you going to air cool the light this time around?
Mines like 4 feet away, do you think thats too far? mines a 400w hpsLight can get through the hydroton - you should put a piece of panda plastic on top of them (that's what i do).
It is a 600w HPS and a 400w MH (so 1000w total) which i keep about 3 feet away from my little seedlings. as they get bigger - i'll let it get within 2 feet.
better safe than sorry OTOH - you don't want them stretching - especially using an HPS! - you can probably bring it closer. just keep a careful eye on them little babies!Mines like 4 feet away, do you think thats too far? mines a 400w hps
panda plastic is that white/black poly - but any opaque, water-proof material will do the trick. it isn't necessary but if you note any growth in your res - then that is something you'll want to take care of... you can get panda plastic at gardening/hydro stores.sorry didn't read that top part of your first comment.
what's panda plastic, where can i get it? can I use cardboard?
ahhh sweet i'll def keep an eye on the res. I had it filled with hydrocks whenever stretch was in flowering and didn't have a problem with algae build up, but we'll see.panda plastic is that white/black poly - but any opaque, water-proof material will do the trick. it isn't necessary but if you note any growth in your res - then that is something you'll want to take care of... you can get panda plastic at gardening/hydro stores.

glad to see this one moving along already bro
Not that I can think of. You have a glass plate on your reflector....you can get vent hose and tape for that @ the hardware store. Pick up some c hooks that screw in places as well (like the ones people use to mount lights by screwing the hook in by hand). Some wire coat hangers or some other type of pliable wire to hang the vent hose up off the floor and near the ceiling somehow with.thanks bro, I'm even more excited about this low ryder DWC grow!!!! ahh i can't wait!
