thanks alot yarddog, i appreciate all u guys stoppin by to check up on me, well it's 1221 am est, and the girls are doing ok, one of them already have a tap root shooting out the bottom of the cup, and it's like an inch long!! i'm thinking about adding that extra 42 watt 6500k into the mix to see if I can get the ones in the back to get a little bit more vertical growth, what do u think? still some yellow in the leaves, but thier partially green as well, so i'm guessing it's nothing to worry about, adjusted the ph from 6.1 to 5.7 water temp is 70F, and air temp is 73F

You got it going just fine and all temps and ph are right in line. More light is always good. With small cfl's it's if it fits is goes in! Did you know you can get an adapter to be able to put 2 cfl's in one reflector?

yeah I've been looking all over the place for thos "Y" extensions, but i guess that I'm going to have to just order them offline in order to get them, thats cool, it should be worth it, and i won't have to keep buying those clamp reflectors. i can't wait to fire up my hps!! how long should i veg for before starting it, being that u can use it from start to finish? just a question

Well I use cfl's only in veg but it should be ok to do it when they are 3-4 weeks old.

what a day, what a day, alright, got off work and I found those "Y" extension socket adapters down at the home depot, so i come home thinking that now I'm going to have two 42W 6500k, and 2 85W, one 6500k and one 3000k, but to my surprise one of my cfls are out!!! so now i'm down to the original setup which is my one 42w and two 85's the home depot had the soft white, but i thought that they were the wrong ones right? other than that, all they have is the 26 watters. heres some pics of whats going on the one of the plants had water seeping out of the top of the rockwool, so i repositioned it a lil lower on the other side of the cube, still midway though. water temp is 72F, Air temp is 76F and humidity is only 36%. I shut off my vortex, that was venting the tent to build it up, i also installed an oscillating fan to get those babies dancin a lil bit. enjoy and any input or ideas are welcome. cheers.

Yeah Home Depot around here doesn't have any 6500k larger that 26w, or Lowes, OSH...

Here is what I set up for my one AK. 4 23w 6500k, 3 Y sockets and one socket/plug (used to extend the array out). I need a bigger clamp reflector for them but it gives you an idea.





Keep up the good work!

They are so cure when they are that small. Yarddog, love the double adapters. That would allow you to get the 26watt 6500k cfl's in close and spead out. HD does have the softwhotes only for the bigger bulbs but the 26watt are actually a little better lumens per watt.

thanks MC, to the rescue as usual, here's some pics but i'm running into a bit of a problem. i went out last night and brought an extra humidifier to see if raising the RH in my office (where the tent is) would help with raising the tents RH. I was wrong, it did nothing at all, I've tried the wet towels, and still nothing. every time I try to put my exhaust fan on Low, my temps rise, and so does the humidity, but i haven't seen it past 38%! so I turn my exhaust higher, and i get my temps down, but my humidity drops to 33-35%. I came home from work today to these babies right here, the roots are almost to the water except for the runt (4th pic), and the last pic. (i think it's over watered). i took it out of the netpot and it was soaked, the cube is also starting to collapse, so i turned the water just about off for that one site, theres also a tear in the rockwool, so i squeezed a lot of the excess water out, and repositioned the tube on the opposite side, do you think it'll be alright? and the plant with the most foliage is starting to yellow at the tips, the temp before i got home my wife said was 82F and 38% RH. so i told her to crack a window, by the time i got home it was down to 78F, with 35%.I'm also venting my tent into the same room, could this be the problem? I was told that I would be alright, i dunno. any help would be really appreciated u guys! thanks
