400watt HPS COCO indoor grow

Man, that wall fan is inefficient. If you need a fan I'll sell you one for dirt cheap. I have a 3 or 4 inline fans between 240 and 440 CFM. I've used cool tubes and if you pull that cold air at a good rate through, you will get at the most a 3 degree Fahrenheit difference on the top of the plant and the ambient air. Even with a 450W bulb 3 inches from the canopy. Which means more effective lumans for the plant. I have to slow my fan down a little bit sometimes because I'll start to end up with light bleaching on the plants. I think it's more effective, but there are many different ways to skin a pig. I just do what works for me. I just started reading the thread so I may have to come back and edit this.

No inline fans available here and no money to buy overseas. M getting my temps around 24-26 deg C. So I think m good.

DAY#3

Both look good today. I would transfer them to final pots today and move them under hps.

Left is somango and right is nlxjack

Sorry for the inverted pic.

Blackhawk149 · Feb 11, 2013

4 day old nlxjack is born with a faded patch on both the leaves at the same spot of same size. WTF?? :confused:

Bad genetics? What?

kingfisher021 · Feb 11, 2013

if by faded patch you mean yellow leaves then it should be fine in a few days, hard to tell unless you post a pic

i had a new plant that was yellow to begin with instead of green, but it turned out to be perfectly fine in a few days

you were right. The yellow patch is reducing as it is growing.

DAY#6

Both the seedlings were born with the whitish patch on the leaves but is slowly receding as it is growing. Hope it turns out well.
The temps are around 83F and 90F just below the light.

Hps is about a foot and a half from seedlings.

Left one is NLxJACK and right one Somango

When should I start my white widow n ak48 so that they go into flowering by the time these autos are done??

cheech2811 · Feb 15, 2013

Hey! i think my seeds might finally be coming in a few days, and ive got my tent all ready and set up. I wanted know if i should mix like 25% perlite with my cocopeat or should i use coco the entire way?. I think ill be doing 2 autoflowers to begin with. How are the plants looking? Best o luck with the grow =)

So you decided to not do clones? I never did auto's, but I'm assuming they'll start to flower within the next 2 weeks? In that case, and seeing the Veg room is kinda small and that you haven't experimented wit it yet.. I would start em when the Auto's are 2-3 weeks into flower. Probably shouldn't do it earlier, cause would suck if the plants out grow the space before the Auto's are done flowering.

I would be germinating 2 from each strain and before putting them to flowering I would be moving one plant from each strain into mother chamber. And use those for clones.

Not sure if I understood, but are you saying you gonna germ 4, keep 2 as mother for clones, and 12/12 from seed the other 2?

Pill put em along with autos and they wd be begging under 20/4. Then when I shift to 12/12, I would shift the mothers and thereafter do 12/12 from clone.

watch spraying those seedlings to much.

God luck with your adventure.

Peace, DST

Maybe you should try one mother first, no? Unless you gonna train the shit out of em and try that bonsai method n all that to keep em small.. maybe that'd work? Idk, it just seems like the mother room is kinda small, and you might have better results getting a slightly taller and longer pot for one plant, then LST, top, etc.. and take clones. I guess it wouldn't really be a problem if you do 2 and it gets too crowded in there, cause you could just throw one in the flower room..
