good day all

i'm just an old school cronic. used to grow lotz, then had to shut it down for last 5 years, finally getting restarted, got 3 room ready, just got all new lights (T5's, 400 mh, 2x600 hps) and waitin on my feminized blueberry seeds, gonna have 2 more flowering rooms in few months.

You will need to setup a grow journal! Sounds like you are going to have lots of pictures to take and a setup most of us will drool over.

PICS, PICS, PICS, PICS!!!!!!

Welcome to RIU. Did I mention PICS?

Can't wait to check out your setup!!!!

got some pics on now, sorry for the delay

here are the start pics

Looks great, my only concern and being I am looking at pictures I could be wrong. Are those fluorescents as far or further away from the plant as the MH light i? How hot is it around the top of the one plant with the larger light? Plant looks fine in the picture and pictures can be deceiving so maybe I am misjudging the distance between light fixtures and plants!

Good work!

the T5's are a bit high at 10", but putting another in yet and making a shelf for them, need water jug space. the 400 is 8" off the plant, just a fan blowin up to the light, stays round 85 degress, drops down to and past 70 with vents on, not nuff goin on in the rooms to create the heat at the mo. OH ya, the plant is only in half a containers wortha soil too, lol, gotta get some more soil i do.

I must have a crappy bulb or not a direct enough exhaust for my light. It is air cooled but no exhaust hood. That is definitely a danger zone in my garden where you have your hand. I have been told you want around 74-78F so you might want to raise the bulb just a few inches not far of course you can safely have that light 12" away and still smother that plant with all the usable light it can handle. I like the results that plant looks wonderful it is always nice to see plants that are receiving enough light.

just got 4 clones off that stray plant there and ALL 10 of my seeds got roots...... me sooooo happpy

All ten seeds put into Rockwool today and added with yesterdays clones.... the starting process takes sooo long, but me real patient, but not bad, only 6 days germinating with 100% rooting. and i proped the clones/seeds bout 2" from T5's, still havn't tuched the 400w's hight.

i havn't stoped writin bout it all, just doin it in my journal... go look if ya wanna

i havn't stopped writing, just look in my journal https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/97022-just-starting-after-looong-stop.html
