a first time for everything!!

Just thinking the same thing. Just get some chain from the hardware store for cheap. Not worth burning the house down to save $10

heres the set-up. the seeds the i purchased from attitude are all in black containers and the red cups are from my peeps. besides water what other tips can yall see i need. heat is a major problem cant get the temps below 88 degrees. just using air from outside a window and a fan to suck air out.

:yeahthat: Those temps are just too high.

I may have said this before :giggle:

The plan you have for ventilation is not going to work. You are going to need a centrifuge type fan and a proper exhaust if you want to keep it cool enough in your tent not to fry your plants. In addition, they need a continual supply of fresh air all the time the lights are on for proper photosynthesis.

status update, untl i am able 2 purchase an inline fan i have been keeping the tent door slightly open{during the light period only}, even though 'global warming' is making upstate feel like south beach, i have been able to get the temps down to around 86-88. all of my seeds worked (props 1 mor time 2 ATTITUDE SEEDS). i was wondering if i could keep the non-autoflowering plants in vegestaion mode for the 9-12 weeks it takes for the auto-flowering plant to go through its cycle, and then once i harvest the auto bud put the other plants in flowering stage?

OUT IN READY FOR ACTION

 

[darocsfinest1]

auto flower coming along good i think. do you think its to early to start topping?

 

[The Hemp Goddess]

I would not top an auto. You want to keep it as stress free as possible--do nothing to slow down its growth.

what is the best light for auto's HPS or MH?

 

[daku_iBLAZE]

To flower your plants always go with hps, it gets the best results.

 

[darocsfinest1]

only one of my six plants is auto. what im going to do is keep the non-auto's on the 20/4 cycle for the whole time the auto goes thru its seed to harvest. and then im going to throw them on 12/12 when i havest the auto plant. any thoughts? or comments about keeping them in veg stage for so long.

How big is your flowering space? Do you have room for 5 large plants?

I have a 3ft long. By 2ft deep and 6ft high tent. If that gets to crowded I can just use my computer room to flower the plants

 

[The Hemp Goddess]

Plan on it. You will never get 5 plants that have vegged 10 weeks in a space that size. In fact, I see you having troubles finishing the auto--I simply do not see you having enough room. Are you sure that finishing the auto is worth it? I truly believe that your photo period plants are going to suffer with the crowded condition I see your 2 x 3' space getting.

 

[darocsfinest1]

should i start using nutes on the auto yet?

i currently have the plants under a MH light, should i switch the light to the HPS for the whole duration of the auto plant cycle. this is in reguards to me wanting 2 kno which light is best for auto's.

i dont kno if u can see how big it is but this is the tent im using.

Reg plants vegged 10 weeks will be huge--almost certainly overgrowing that closet and most likely keeping the little auto from getting good light.

 

[Roddy]

lol, I veg for around 10 weeks and I can promise you, they are big beasts when put to bud. Then, they get bigger yet....

2'x3'? 2 maybe 3 plants of good size, any more will mean crowding and not the best of finishes!
