Indoor Four autos under one 600watt sodium

[dman78]

Don't forget if you are temp testing with a bare tent it will read higher than what it would when there are plants/items in there to absorb some of that heat.

Also I run switchable ballasts (lumatek), bare in mind it pays to have the correct power bulbs for each setting. I'm no scientist but say you have a 600w switched down in power to 400 or below, although it will run the spectrums of light it puts out might be off.

Good luck anyway, Mitch

thanks for the info,i'll look into it

Try to have your lights off during the hottest part of the day. My light is out 12.00 - 18.00, need AC for the rest of the time..

AC isn't really an option here. Mostly used in shops or commercial places but for the home we don't really get that much sunshine to warrant it.

If you are lucky enough to have a choice of locations you could put your tent in the house that can help too. I have one side of my house that never sees direct sunshine and it's substantially cooler in there.

right well time for an update,i got 4 seeds under way and 2 came through and 2 didnt look healthy so i scrapped them and germed another 2,i've lost track of the days since i first started but i dont care how long they take,i just want them to be healthy,obviously the tallest 2 are the ones that were first to be germed,any advice welcomed

all i want to know is do they look ok or should i just srcap the lot,help needed as im stressing now

right since the last update i've had some disappointment,the biggest plant which was 26" tall and showed sex as a female drooped to the side and snapped clean off,hence my disappointment,so now i've got 3 TD's left,i was going to scrap the entire thing i was so upset but as they say its trial and error,i've already ordered some dutch passion blueberrys (photos),these autos are technical and there aint any room for error,i'll post some pics later

bad news damn - you didnt have much luck there. What are the plant pots sat in by the way, I was curious.
I hope it goes much better next time.

I would drop the light a touch you have some stretch going on there which is not helping the snapping issue and doing 9 as we speak under a 600w MH

15L autopot system with plagron soil and perlite mix
to be honest i dont know if im going to try these autos again,as i said previously i ordered some of your blueberry photos,so i'll go in that direction next as i've done photos before

 

[agito]

veg the bluberry into a scrog whilst finishing the autos you have will be an awesome game plan and a big yield

i had the light 17"-20" from the plant,as i noticed the leaves started curl upwards
