Well to begin with i have a Secret jardin 120cm x 120cm (4x4 foot)

I use a 400W HPS with reflector and jojos so i can higher them as the plants grow, I'm planing to have the lamp about 2 foot above the plants.
And i have put in 2 fans, 1 big and 1 small for air blowing on my plant so the stems get strong.
In the roof i'v put a carbonfilter with a powerfull tubefan that pumps heat and the smell out. i allso have my thermometer hanging there.

I have 9 (3x3) pots in there witch are really big (Sry dont know the size)
The red marked is Super Lemon Haze and the blue market are Cheeze. all the seeds are feminized.
The gameplan is to top these girls ones (1) for better yield. or should i go with something else?

As for watering my plants i have a 10 liter bucket that I let stand out in the room so get rid of all the nasty stuff in it (Clorine if im not misstaking).
I splash around in the water 2-3 times a day to add more CO2 to it.
As for nutrients im going with Hesi starter pack (Recomended from the weed grow shop).
I water my plant when the soil is completly dry about a half of a finger down.
And i allwats kiss them good night when its time for them to sleep. (Heard this helps, who knows i'll try it :) )
Heard one man say one time that you should treat your plant like strippers, the bader you are to them the more they are going to try please you.

Temp and huminiy here. I know that the huminity is little bit low, what can i do to take it up?

And then the biggest noob question of all time. Where i bought the seeds it said i could get up to 800g/plant (1.8 pounds) but i know thats not going to happen, im super happy if i get 500g as a total. Am i unrealistic if im aiming for 500g(1.1 pounds)?


So i think i got it all, but if you see anything that i need to change pls tell me and allso if im doing something right so i know i dont have to worry about that :)!

Thanks all! :mrgreen:

Nothing wrong with shooting for the stars brother. But realistically new growers usually get .2-.4 grams per watt. You have 400 watts. So if you get anything over 200 grams you should be proud really. And they mean 800g per square meter I believe. Your veg time/how even the canopy is/ light penetration/ dialing nutes in/ ect will decide your yield.

Good luck!

Okey nice thank you! So you say if I get a 600w lamp it will improove this mutch better? Cuz i have a 600w lamp but not a generator for it. Maby i should go with 400w for vegging and the 600w for flower?

To get your rh(relative humidity ) up you can get humidifier or were towels and lay around the tent or a bowl of water you can add ice to bring temp down to. Happy growing!!

Haha yeah.. Thinking of makeing a veggroom of the 400w and then a flowerroom of the 600w maby? Or should i use both in the same room?

Well maby i will, but i have never done something like that before. And my english is crap :) If not i can keep you informed.

Hmm towels you say.. Maby wet towels hanging in the roof would help? Im gonna try the bowl thing first and see where it gets me, sound easiest to me
:)

Did raise the fan up a bit, hope that brings the temp down some!

Thanks for the tips!
