Hi ,I'm new to the site. So Ive grown out doors sense the late 80s off and on but this is my first time indoors. What I have to work with is a space that's 3'7"x12'x7'5" I have 2 1000s & a 600 air cooled hoods xxxl. I have a 550 fan bringing in air with a hepa filter. I have a 740 fan in the attic pulling air out. I have another regular fan blowing on the plants. I have 20 clones 12 strains in all. I'm using soil, happy frog mixed with ocean forest for first transplant in 2 gallon pots. I'm vegging fora month then 12x12.I added bioroot to waterwith pro-tekt silica . I will betraining the plants ie topping fimming shaping threw veg. Then I'm getting some better soil and into the 6 gallon pots and bloom. This is my first time doing any of this and would love feed back. I ran 220 to my room. Never messed with electrical before, but worked out good. Amazing what a person can learn online lol. It would be great to have people to talk to
 
So I'm 6 days into veg with a 600w and a 1000w alternating plants between the 2. I didn't want to run the other 1000 tell bloom $$$$. They went rew some shock after transplant into 2 gallon pots from solo cups. I think the soil mix was a bit hot to. But man thay are looking great!!! It's funny now but the next morning I looked in on them and thought **** what did I do? They were all pale green and looked like the were bleached. I thought I had my lights to close. Turns out that that's how they look under a 15000 lumens lmao. I'm not used to that. Any way they are all dark green and ivehad 2 inchesof groth on average. Strains I'm running are mango kush, cataract kush, tn hogs breath, ak-47, black domina, blue dream, jack herer, moonwreck, grape ape, eisbear, Burmese kush,and cheddarwurst. Im going to see how veg gos for 4 weeks and maybe flip them. So far watering every three days with 1/2 tsp pro-yeltsin silica and 1 tsp bio root per gallon. I have sprayed twice at lights out and fans off with floramite. Any thoughts?
 
Also i am having problems with heat fluctuations Threw out the day. having to use a heater at night and turn down intake fan at times. It's from 60-85 trying to keep it 75-80 humidity is 45-50.
 
Ok so I just moved this thread where it belongs but I'm on my phone so can't move pics yet. Yesterday was the hotest day of the year here. My room got up to 94. My lights are off from 1-7 and was still In the 88 one more day of this high heat before it gos back to normal temps outside. I wish I had ac. I think some leaves got burnt so i raised the hoods again. Other then that they still look fine. I did some toping yesterday as well, Only the ones with at least 6 nodes. Today they get watered. Ive been watering with pro-tekt and bio root each feeding. I think the soil is giving lots of nuts so far but may start feeding soon. Any thoughts?
 
Wow...having to use a heater at night? What part of the world are you in? I can't even grow in the Summer due to heat issues.

Good luck and Green Mojo. Looking forward to some pics.

Im in Washington state. I also want to add that with that much air moving in the room it didn't feel that hot at all.
 
60-85 doesn't sound real bad to me...especially if I had something flowering that purpled up in cold temps.

85 isn't bad but when it gets up in the 90s i start stressing. All are looking fine but one AK-47 it looks difitiont, ill get some pics up soon. AK has allways been an easy keeper out doors not sure what's up with that.

Thanks I hope so. I wanted more blue dream but didnt like the clones I saw. They are all looking good now.
 
So far so good did some more toping of the ones with 6 nodes or more and started training some with wire. Still watering with phd water from my cloner I keep running, along with bio root and silica. Trying to figure what I want to feed. Haven't made up my mind. I did put a little black strap molasses in this last time.
