New Grower newbie please help

Just thought I'd mention... it works better when you're starting from scratch, if you ask first and then act... just sayin'

You don't need the supplemental lighting or the heat from it. Your temp is not ideal but should not be problematic.

I would place the HPS about 2' from the plants for now... I doubt you are getting much light energy from 3'.

WHAT EXACTLY DOES THAT MEAN .( it works better when you're starting from scratch, if you ask first then act...)are you saying i should ask you before i go ahead and do something wrong?if im doing something wrong please tell me!! so your saying take t5's down don need um?i just removed the t5's so if i heard you correct then thats ok..what is an ideal temp/humidity those are my main 2 questions!!!!!...Thanks alot for your help so far
PS...im keeping my tent open at the top and bottom is that ok it seems to keep my temps within 78-80 degrees???and then again as i asked above what should temp/humidity be at...ALSO WILL MY BULB GET TO HOT AND START A FIRE WITHOUT IT BEING AIR COOLED???ITS ONLY FOR ANOTHER 5 DAYS???ANY AWNSWERS WILL HALP ALOT AND GIVE ME EASE OF MIND!!!

So here is an update!!!i couldint help but put my hps on...so the first pic is of my set up i have my 400watt hps 3ft above my plants with 2 24watt 2000 4000 lumen(total) as supplemnt linghting.is that ok or no??

YOU TOOK A ROUTE THAT DIDN'T MATCH ANY OF THE ADVICE YOU ASKED FOR, AND RECEIVED. THEN YOU ASK, IS THAT OK?

THAT'S WHAT THAT MEANS. (I like this "ALL CAPS" thing you use. Excellent means of communicating.)

I like my temps in the high 70's and my RH around 40... I seldom have the luxury of ideal temps/humidity. The plants can survive much higher temps (90F+) and still deliver a decent yield.

It's not a problem to leave the tent door open if stealth is not an issue.

I have no problem with someone taking someone else's advice. It doesn't bother me at all. But, when you are asking help from the community, and you're brand new at this, does it really make sense to just go off and do something that you have to ask later, Is that going to hurt anything? It's better to ask that question before you experiment.

im not trying to not listen its just i see some people who use MH/HPS all the way thru???

That's not what you did... you put them under the HPS AND the T-5's. That particular idea was not one I recall being suggested by anyone. Similar experiments with lighting could have been problematic and it might have been too late by the time you got a chance to ask, "Is this ok?"

I'm about to give you some advice almost all new growers need: "Slow down. Take a deep breath. You can not speed up the grow process and any attempts to do so, will usually net a bad result."

for my next grow i am going to leave under t5's untill sex but i orderd and recieved more seeds so ill need those t5's to germ my other seeds thats all....

This is an example of being in too big a hurry. You have removed your seedlings (that you desperately want to thrive) from the best light source to make room for seedlings from seeds you don't even have yet. Actually, by the time you get them, your current seedlings may have shown sex (depending on where you ordered them from).
