the bottom number on the thermometer is the thermometer temp the top is the temp where my probe is which is on top of the cups. the bottom number i think is high from my ballast hanging near there and well, heat rises too. i repainted it, and put a piece of plwood on the wall near my fan and filter to hang all the stuff there. im up for any advice.

If that power strip is in your room you need to put it sideways on the wall. And have loops in the cords. A sudden hit of humidity can short everything out and fire could happen. But everything eles looks good.

the cord is basically as long as it will go.. not completely stretched but it cant go up anymore and why put it sideways? its plugged in to a outlet outside the grow area

Reason is moisture can collect on cords and drip down into the strip shorting it out after time. Fire hazard. Check out any real indoor gardens. No power is facing the sky and there is always a half moon loop under the power supply. Also helps with tripped breakers

Sideways or upside down. If you need more cord from the power strip to make it all work. Sence it's plugged in outside the room. You can add a 3' cord to give you what you need but try to keep that out of the room. Or wrap it in electrical tape. I'm only saying this on a safety point. I have seen worse

well i been skimping on soil, but i always add perlite to it and the soil seems to be doing fine im gonna try to get fox farms from a local grow store for when i transplant my seedlings into bigger bots. i will not use a cardboard box and stuff i think people who do are expecting to burn the house down. i use botanicare pure grow, bloom, liquid karma, and cal-mag its been doing me pretty nicely thus far. im still open for any other opinions. like i said, im still new to things and i want to do it right, not half assed

Don't forget ya PK for second stage flowering (fattening). Also be ready to run a second fan to control the ambient temp in there. As for the soil, bollox to branded stuff. When your using 600L of soil for final pots, u aint buying branded. I use a simple cheap low peat compost (£8 for 120L) mixed with perlite and a bit of fish bonemeal. Oh and don't forget ya superthrive.

well i didnt mention they are bagseeds which is why there is so many. i will take the 3 or 4 best ones once they show sex and toss the others. i use bagseeds because im still a newb, and i want to learn how to grow and grow good so when i get seeds from attitude i can get a good yield and get my moneys worth. but either way, its good bud.
