a small fan will help and a hole for fresh air to get in and stale air to get out, sorry with plants its the other way round hahahaha.. small hole will do just to let the air circulate once she pops it will help build a good stem..

Ya have an intake and extract, have the fan going for 15mins per hour so should be enough.

Has anybody ever had to wear sunglasses while checking the plant or am I the only one? Haha

we will see with this good soil if its a water problem or not youre right there ae, soil plant is still swelling and making good bud so i am not very worried, after looking at the coco girl this morning i decided to chop her as its not improving anything and only taking up room, now i have the one soil plant under the 400w and have it running at 440watts, id say about 3 grams of airy popcorn buds and sugar leaves from the coco girl so never ever again with coco, something to smoke tho

Yip it's one of the cheaper soils haha, but did the job on my first attempt a while back( before I researched the hell out of it) so il give it a go. Just waiting on a sprout now.

Actually while its still under the ground does it matter how near or far the light is from the pot?

as you can see still a long ways to go just yet.. and the def`s didn`t show up in the pic, but were rocking and rolling now awayways, for the end of the world i will be mostly watching eastenders...

and if theres anything on sky movies then thats a plus...

I was thinking the same myself and i bought a spare 400w hps bulb also so if the dual spec breaks ive got a hps bulb

And as for eastenders id rather it was the end of the world than be forced to watch that crap lol

kang its a good bit harder on the electric running the ballast at 440 compared ta 400.
cost about ten cent an hour at 400,cost about 15cent an hour runnin it at 440.
its prob harder because its runnin a 400watt bulb at 440.
said id let ya know;-)
it pays ta have a spare light,the fella from tarahydroponics gave me a complete 600w kit for free because my 400w ballast blew after 4 weeks.
sound fella.

Thanks for the heads up marley i dident think it would be much difference, ill be growing with 250watts for veg then 400 for 12/12 and maybe a week or two on 440w so it wont be that bad for power wise
