Hi. I posted this in the newbe section but realized I need to post here. Sorry about the reposting:sad: I just got my room set up! Yea! I forgot how many things you have to do. If you have any suggestions please feel free to let me know. Things have changed a bit since 06. Right now I have a 10x10 room exclusive for my grow. I have 46 little babies in 2 3x3 trays. I started them as seeds so I'm expecting half of them will be males and they will have to be kulled. For right now, they are only 3 weeks old, they are living in disposable red plastic drinking cups with dirt. 1 week I'll transfer them to their 1 gallon pots and they will live there for the duration. They all have their first 3 to 4 sets of leaves. I'm using a Sun System 1000 watt halide set about 15 inches above the babies. I also have a 10 inch ossilating fan set to flow right above the plants so they get atiny bit of movement but not too much. I'm using a 10 inch carbon filter and I've also set up a intake air hose to bring in the fresh air. I have this room completely sealed for air and light and I noticed tonight I finally got a good air flow/suction going on in there. I'm using General hydroponics for nutes. Again any suggestions would be appreciated. As soon as I can find my camera(i just moved and can't find a thing) I'll post some pics. Thanks everyone.

You are right about the nutes. I already noticed salt on the top soil and I only fed them the other day & only used 1/4 strength so...I flushed them today with ro water and I'm hoping if I don't feed them for the next couple of weeks, everybody should be fine. This is my first dirt grow and it's totally differant than rock wool medium. Thanks for the advice.
