Right on, thanks Doogleef. I went ahead and ordered some inline duct fans. I think this will do it. I'll run the can fan through the light like you suggested. I suppose to extra 15 is because its still hot at least that long after the light is off.

New question. Just moved my first baby under the 400watt light. Starting using Flora Nova at 350ppm. It will be under this light 24/7. The average temperature so far has been around 80-85 degrees. How often should i flood the tray and for how long?

And has anyone tried just dropping their seeds into a cup of water to make em germinate? I've been struggling using the wet papertowel and keeping it humid. I bought some skunk from attitude and only 2 out of 12 have opened. And its been like 2 weeks. I was told dropping them straight into a cup of water would work good. Anyone ever try this or can offer some suggestions?

What medium are you using? That will be the biggest factor in your watering times.

85 is a bit warm. 75-80 would be better. Is the exhast on a thermostat? Your diagram shows an active (fan powered) intake for the mom room. Is that on? You can normally get away with a passive intake on growrooms. If you are too hot you need more exhast not more air in.

Seeds will crack in a cup of water. When they sink put them in (oh wait, what medium are you using??:dunce: I use the paper towel method when i use beans.

Actually none of my fans are setup. I ordered some inline duct fans to help with the exhaust. Instead of how i initially diagramed, i'm setting up two of these fans to keep this room at a good temp, ordered the thermostat too. They just haven't arrived yet, so right now i'm leaving the room open to keep it cooler. So the temperature should improve i hope.

Also i must be missing something because i'm struggling with the paper towel method. But its so easy. bongsmilie I had done it a while back during one of my earlier attempts at this and it worked great. So maybe its the seeds i got from attitude, only 2 of 12 have cracked using papertowel this time.

You have the towel in a plastic bag in a warm dark spot? I've never used attitude but I might next time with the freebies. I've heard that they stand behind thier product and will replace defective seeds :cuss:on the next order. Also attitude is just a distributor of other peoples seeds what did you get?

I let seeds soak for 6+ hours in lukewarm water, then soak a papertowel and fold it over so the seeds are covered top and bottom with the wet towel. Covered and waited a few days with it sitting on top of my comp tower.

This batch of seeds was from Ceres. Looks very professional. When i contacted attitude about it they advised me to contact Ceres. I have yet to do that. I have my seeds in a wet towel and inside a tuperware container. Seems humid enough.

Livesoul .. you can crack them beans by hand if you still got them. You have nothing to loose at this point.
In my stuper last night:joint::joint::hump: i did not answer your watering question. If you have not already figured it out ...3-4 times a day during lights on.

Alright, so i guess 6-8 times a day since its 24 hour cycle? It takes 5 minutes to fill, so 15 minutes total? or 30 minutes?

Do not flood during lights off. No need. :mrgreen: You only need to flood long enough to fill. 5 min is plenty.

I have been told that it will go away. Mine never really smelled like strong skunk mine had a lemon smell to it. Mine smelled like hay for 2 weeks or so before smelling like lemons. What did they smell like in the vine?

the hay smell is normal for most strains, esp noted in dutch passion's products. it's a normal thing indeed.

some buds will have a great green flavor. two of my long term mothers are good from a quick dry. however, nothing is what it should be until after two months in a jar. true flavor takes time, and there's no way around that one.
