Many questions I can't answer there sorry my friend,
Wouldn't Mind betting many good folk will point you in the direction you will need and hopefully share.
Loving the good eggs so far

Good morning my friends. With a good poke the seed sunk to the bottom of the cup of ph'ed water. It's been in the water for about 20 hours now. Will update you guys again when it cracks.

It cracked and shot out the taproot it will be planted today. How far should my 150w hps be?

 

[oldster]

I would start out at about 18 inches above the top of the plant. If it starts to look spindly lower it a few inches. As the plant get bigger you will be able to move the light closer

Hey buds, I was expecting my Hps today but it will come tomorrow. I planted it into a 3 gallon bucket it's under a few year old UVB cfl light. This is just for one day unless you guys recommend keeping this bulb with the hps. It's at 65% humidity and 80 degrees.

Just finally installed the inline fan, carbon filter, and the hps. The temp rose from 75-80 to 80-85. Is that a problem? I just cracked the cabinet for a passive intake hopefully it will go down. Sorry for the horrible pic.

Hey there! My cab gets as hot as 85 on most days and I've not run into any major problems because of that yet. Decent air flow and CO2 can be used to counter the negative effects of high temperatures.

Hey! Thanks a lot man. I added a small fan to bring air threw the crack. What temperature would you start worrying at?
