Hello out there....
This is my first time attempting to raise women..I will post a few pics and welcome any advice or comments ...I am using 4x 23 watts and 1 42 watt =150 watt.. I switch my girls around and fluctuate the lighting based on temperature of my Rubbermaid, I have an 8 inch fan blowing in with an 8 inch intake dome and I have an 8 inch exhaust coming out the top with it's own 90 degree tubing .,,I have been running temps of 78/92 during the days and 72/77 at night.. humidity is always around 55%... They are about 14 day old now....

What do ya think? sorry for the fuzz in some pics...

Thanks in advance.. SiX

Of course i'm only kidding about this fictional pictorial..cheers

You Will Need To Get The Day Temp.'s, The High Shouldn't Get Over 80*f. If All Possible..Your Really Going To Need To Start Training Them Very Young, So You Won't Run Out Of Room..

How much cold air intake do you have? And how big is your top exhaust hole? You need 3 times the size of the exhaust of cool passive air coming into he grow low down in the box to push the hot air up and out. Let us know. That should fix your problem. try and get it under 80F as Hatch has said.

Peace

Hey Thanks guys for the advice.. For now I have them in the 37 gallon only.. When the time is right (flowering), I will put another 37 gallon on top of the other and lay my lights on top.

I have an intake that is 8 inches and my exhaust is the same diameter..Does this mean that I actually need an intake of 24 inches???

quick question...
My tallest girl has now grown about 4 sets of leaves...The problem is that it seems as if my soil is loose and not supporting the weight. If I push down on my soil, it will lean to the side you push..Seems kinda fragile but the girls is thriving...Just don't want her to fall over and the roots get exposed...???

suggestions??

Thank you in advance.....SiX

Hey there six they look gr8t. Do you have an oscillating fan gently blowing about their room? That will help them get stronger so they will take the weight.

The soil might seem fragile but the plant will have roots right through the mix and I have never seen a plant just fall out of it's pot....it doesn't happen. just rely on nature and don't borrow problems....your plant will be fine. A mountain of sand does not seem like it will support much but you can put a stone statue on it, and all will balance out.

Peace
