[Damion5050]

My HPS is a 250watt I only have 6 square feet so, its enough.. I plan to upgrade to Some Home box Tents and a 400watt setup after I make some money, I need about $1000, I am waiting on ventilation parts to come next week through UPS

Well today I got my venting issues sorted out went and bough another 4 inch inline fan to suck air into my cabinet, as well as a 4 inch to pull hot air out.. As far as the plants I am very happy 4 out of 5 of the seeds have sprouted and broke the surface and the 5th looks like it will do the same tomorrow..

I was wondering if anyone knows about when I should transplant them into party cups, I made mini hempy buckets out of party cups for the next stage.. Then I'll finally but them into 2 gallon tubs or maybe 5 gallon tubs..

I have pretty much solved my temp problem, it was at nearly 86-88 degrees yesterday but with the install of the intake fan it is holding steady at 79.5 degrees.. I am a happy camper

As far as nuts I bought GH Flora Nova Bloom and Grow, It was either that or Fox Farm Prodcuts, I will buy some fox farm and try them next time.. If you look at one of my pics you can see the bottles of nutes on the top shelf

[Damion5050]

Well life is good and so are the plants for the most part.. As I though the 5th seedling came through and is out of the rockwool cube and is looking good.. Temp is Holding steady right around 79-80 degrees.. Plant were at about 6 inches from the light looked alittle stretchy so I moved them to about 3 inches away.. Besides that all it good..
