First Grow - 600w - 12 plants

This is a dream come true!:mrgreen: I have been waiting for a little bit over two and a half years to start growing, and I've been reading books and asking questions online so I hope I can pull off an acceptable grow for my first time.

Anyways, it's a 3'x8'x7'8'' room put together with some 2x4's and 3/4 inch plywood. A LOT of information and ideas i'm using I took off of this site, and I would just like to thank all the RIU and say how awesome it is to have you guys to help out. Also, I copied the air floor and a few other things from one of Hobbes' info-packed thread.

Here is Hobbes thread - https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/360125-new-growers-needed-grow-lab.html

OK, my equipment:

  • Adjust-a-Wing (Medium)
  • ORCA Grow Film
  • 345cfm EcoPlus Fan + Ducting
  • 600w MH/HPS Digital Lumatek
  • Digilux HPS/MH bulbs
  • Light Rail 3.5 Intelli Motor
  • Containers: Seedlings use a multi celled germination tray, vegetative plants will either be placed into 3 or 5 gallon pots when ready for final transplant and will remain in 6 inch or other suitable container until then.
Soil/Fertilizers:

  • Seedlings: Black Peat Moss and Perlite in a 2:1 Mixture
  • Vegetative/Flowering: FFOF w/assorted liquid nutrients
  • FF Tiger Bloom for flowering
  • FF Grow Big for vegetative
  • I'm also looking into some EarthJuice supplies
My Seeds: 6 Kushberry, 6 OG #18, 1 Blue Widow, 1 Moby Dick, and 1 NLxBigbud. (I will decide which 12 get to stay as they progress, I really hope I get to try one of the freebies.)

Ok, right now the seedlings just popped up out of the soil and I'm going to place them 2'-2.5' underneath a 600 Metal Halide.

I planted the seeds around 11 Monday night, as of now it's Day 4 and they are ready to start going under the light.

Pics:
Yes, I know the ducting is a shit job right now and i have wires hanging I will get around to making some shelves and hang the ducting up this weekend the RIGHT way.
and if the reflector looks a little weird fitting it's because that's still a Large one, I'm waiting on the medium one in the mail.

I'll update every day or two with a new pic on how they're coming.:blsmoke:
If you see anything wrong with the setup or just have any comments/questions feel free to post.
