Hello all,
New to growing and this forum. Here to hopefully learn a thing or two.
I've got just one buddy under a 400w that is now in 3rd week of 12-12. Through trial and error my plants were exposed to a little heat stress while in veg that I fixed promptly. Besides that all seems well. But I am not a professional and any advice would be appreciated!

i reckon if your at 3weeks you'll have about 8/9weeks to finish but will be so worth it :), i've got barney's pineapple chunk going just now and the smell!!! so so lovely lol

cheer's mate :) the light's a 600w hydromaster l.e.d, this is my first grow using it so cant say if it's any good yet. my last grows i used a 600w hps but found it very hard keeping good temp's so decided to try out the hydro master just cause it claimed to run at 70% cooler. and that's a week ive been using it and when i go into my room the temp feels just right

I gotcha! I've only ran into one temp issue late in veg. Really had to improvise with with what I had. Couple holes into the wall and an AC unit did the trick. So far my room stays between 75-80 humidity at about 40%.

that's it just improvise and hope for the best that's what i do. here's a pic from a couple of weeks back. IMG_1513.JPG that's two drawers upside down and i just cut a hole in the middle and wrapped it up with blue wrapper and at the front i could slide in two paint tray's to collect the water :). great thing about it is the pots hang in the air and the run off goes into the tray's made it alot easier plus they never sit in the water
