Blue Mystic 400w attic grow FIRST JOURNAL EVAaaaaaRh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today was a great day!!!!!

Got my 400w lumatek ballast, Ushio hps bulb, and a hydrofarm reflector!!

If you were around the plant problems page about a week nd a half ago, you would of seen my poor babies, but a transplant into a larger pot and some nutes and they're looking a lot better now.

I've been vegging them for about 3 weeks now under some shitty CFL light but now I am rocking the 400w, will I see a huge difference this week?

Running them on a 18/6 schedule with Fox Farm Light Warrior soil, (hopefully will be transplanting them into Ocean Forest when time calls), and Fox Farm Big Grow and Microbrew.

Pretty soon I will be putting up some reflective material to finish her up. It's in an attic so I got a space heater on every so often especially during the night since the light is off and its not heating them up at all. Do I have any worries doing that?

Will most definitely keep putting more pictures up as time progresses!!!

Any tips will be appreciated! Thanks!

UPDATE TIME:

Seems like time isn't going fast enough......

Nothing has changed except the fact that its starting to warm up a tad and the nights aren't so cold, one less anxious thought before i sleep.....

Survival of the fittest is starting to happen there are a few plants starting to die :( I guess beggars can't be choosers, at least there are 4-5 still healthy babies, is this pretty normal? When can I start determining the sex? I am about 4 weeks from germination.

Under that lighting they should be quite a bit bigger, even if you used cfl's to start with. What are the temps reading in your grow space?

I thought the same. The temps fluctuate, i try my best to keep it between 65-75 degrees, any suggestions to keep them warmer? One way i was going to do it was put up some mylar or the white reflective material, I was hoping that the enclosure with the space heater would fix that problem but my money situation is super tight.
