Unless you are going to use the vents at the top for fan outputs I'd cover them to make sure no light gets in when the plants are sleeping.

How do you deal with moisture running it back in?We Always run hot air back in on these sort of grows, no central heating

It’s now a week since germination and I have 3x PP growing wellish and all 3 GSC seeds failed. I germinated my remaining 2 Pp and 2 GSC this time with 20hrs in glass water in a dark warm place followed by paper towel method for about 16-20 hrs. 2 x PP have now sprouted and are in root riots. The 2 GSC failed to germ so a pack of bogey seeds or they need more experience than I can give them. I watered last night to soak all medium and fitted sandwich bags to maintain a good humidity but this morning 2 of my PP were lying on the soil. From advice and research it seems I had my lights too high. I am now 25% strength at a distance of 16inches with the downed lady’s supported by cable ties. New humidity dome fashioned from cheap 5litre water bottles.
What a week, Roll on harvest time

Day 18
Loads of shit bits done,
Lights are now 16 inches from canopy at 40% coming in at 430ppfd(Korona app)
Lighting schedule is 18/6 as of day 15.
Heater had to be opened and neons taped up cause didn’t realise the amount of light emanating from it.
This meant my ladies temp dropped over the 1st 6hr darkness period to 9celcius. Yesterday dropped to 13 celcius with lights out so more tinkering with the time clock now heater comes on 15 mins every 45 mins. Hope to get around 18celcius.
For Humidity I drilled a small hole on top and bottom of domes.
Feed day 13 was 125ml water with 1ml root juice and half a mil of bio heaven per litre,
will feed again day 19-20 and will give some root juice and alga mic I think,1ml of each per litre.
Ph’d to 6.5
