ya dude ull b fine once u get that fan...the light is where all the heat comes from so i mean u might not even need the ac once u get that heat venting outside of the tent and even the closet it possible but just remember to still vent it to somewhere inside ur house the only way ppl get caught is trying to vent their heat from their lights outside in a central place...cus then u have to worry bout the FLIR's and whatnot. as long as its not to hot in that closet of urs ur good and hell i dn where u live but maybe that extra heat will be good in other places of the house being that where i live its still cold as fuck lol...if i vented my shit somewhere else i wouldnt need to use my heat right now lol

So I think it is day 8 or 9 the plants are starting to get bigger temps are great the plants are absolutely loving the 1000w mh bulb :) One of the plants roots has come through the netpot and heading towards the water. When should I start the plants on 1/4 nutes?

So my plants have really light green parts in the middle of them they seem somewhat bleached if that makes any sense. I think this is a result of two much light from the 1000w I put cfls back on these guys, I think running the 1000w for 5 days has stunted their growth they are just looking way to small for being 11 - 12 days old, hopefully these cfls will get them back on track and can move back to the 1000w hopefully in 4-5 days after they start to pick up again.

Been running the cfls for 2 days so far all the plants seem to be picking up except for 1 who isn't showing any noticeable signs of growth. I think all of the other plants are ready to start on 1/4 strength nutes anyone have any opinions?

well this is my first grow as well but i think you should definitely add the nutes. mine have been getting nutes since the day after germination and they should help your stunted one out a little.

Plants seem to be liking the 1/4 strength nutes no signs of nute burn, still my small one is not progressing like the others. I'm gonna wait a few days to start them on half strength nutes.

Hey notrox, nice setup man! This thread caught my attention because when my 400w switchable comes in on Monday, I'll be doing 5 autofem Mi5, 3 Auto Afghan Kush and 10 AutoReg LR2's.
I'm hoping to get a nice fat male LR2 for pollen to dust a couple buds with. This is my first time growing Autos. And my first attempt at breeding.
If all goes well, and I get a sizeable pile of healthy beans, I'll have plenty to do when it gets warm out.
This is my very first post on this site -I used to be on CW and OG a lot back in the day- I look forward to learning all I can from the many helpful patrons here and hope to make a couple friends too.

Welcome man! I'm having a blast this being my first grow, I'm hoping to keep the plants alive and hopefully get close to a oz per plant hopefully all 4 survive one of them is really not growing much but I did check the bottom of its netpot and a root has burst through.

So here are some pic updates with my new 14.1 mp camera. I put the plants up to 1/2 strength nutes a few of them look a little nute burned i'm going to add some water tomorrow to help dilute it.

Looking great! keep a close eye on your PH as you go. They eat like little piggies when they're getting a balanced draw of nutes, but if the PH gets out of the hand, many vital nutes are insoluable.

So I checked one of the plants just recently and noticed brown curling on 2 of the leaves of my second largest plant, could this be nute burn or some kind of a deficiency? The ph is at 5.8 and ppm is 429 after water change last night.

So I examined my biggest plant today and looks like I found some pistols. I also smelled it and there is faint smell starting to form.
