First grow

[Trichome farmer]

Thank you for your advise I have moved light height also I will be ordering one now for sure what would you suggest with it could it resolve it self or is it to late I have noticed it hasn’t done any growing for good couple days I also got few more seeds to pop if this goes wrong I don’t have a extracter fan or carbon filter I didn’t think I needed all this till it starts to smell I have two 8 inch fans with vents open it’s near window for fresh air lol ? With couple humidity’s bit of a shit set up tbh I got 1200 x 1200 7 foot maybe bit bigger

ac infinity are a good brand of extraction fan that will help keep those temps down if you vent outside like the guys mention give it some nutes around 1/4 strenght also pop another seed and get another going just in case you have plenty of space

Environment is important. RH, temps, air circulation fans, exhaust fan. Seedlings like it humid, around 70%RH. During veg, around 60%RH, and in flower, around 50%RH. I go by VPD, something I had never heard of until I got on AFN. VPD is a balance of RH and temps for optimal growing conditions. You can check it out here -----> VPD calculator

I've used both and Mega Crop and like Mega Crop 1 part. I supplement it with cal/mag, sweet candy, and bud explosion, starting around 1/3rd strength.

Under hps, ideal temps, lights on, would be 24*

Hps is can be done thru a full grow, but you will see slower initial growth, and less growth during the vegetation portion of the grow.

Normally we run MH lighting for veg and swap to hps for flowering.

The 600 is too much at this point. Will be fine when they're in full bloom.

i would suggest 600w is ok as long as you have a good distance from the plants my first auto were done with a 600w hps i just left it at the the top of the tent

Can I change it to 250 Or 400 and that should control the temp ? Would this do anything to the grow it’s self if I do this

Just overkill, and depending on where you are, costly. At 29 cents a KWH here, I notice those things.

Dropping the wattage will drop the heat generated. So if you have a 250 available, it would be worth a shot, cut your heat, and electricity by a little over half, 2 in one. If it is something your going to have to purchase, I would suggest looking at maybe something from marshydro, or other reputable LED fixture.

I will look in to that I have put it to 250 what height from the plants shall I set it at thanks again

At this stage, maybe 25 to 30 inches. You should be able to hold your hand comfortably at the canopy height for several minutes. If it starts getting too warm lift the light. The first couple weeks they really don't need a ton of light, just enough to keep them from getting "leggy". They're focused on building roots then. About the 3rd or 4th node I start dialing the lighting up.

I had a heat issue when I ran hps in a closet years back.
I put the ballast outside the grow area, and the light itself was in a "cool tube". Air in and out just for the light.
