Have a 2.8x3.2 or 9 suare foot room, three sides have mylar and the other a white curtain, i leave the curtain open during the day and closed at night keeping the room b/t 66-76 degrees. Using a 400w HPS w. a mh conversion bulb at the moment with seedlings under the lights 24/7, grow is going well as of yet...any suggestions, a CO2 system or intake/outake fan may be needed, as of yet I believe i can get away without them...hoping not to have to purchase more but is intake/outake necessary w/ my temps. I use a 20in. stationary fan during the day and a 9in. stationary at night...should i upgrade or not...i really don't have the cash...hopefully i can get some pics for every1

Post some pics, but if your temps are that low with the light on(hoping you mean 66-76f) you should be okay, like I said drop some pictures and a better understanding of your system can be learned.

borrowed this pic from blazin...but practically the exact setup...got my lights a lil higher but then again blazin has an intake fan...hope this pic helps....have 3 surfaces like shown with a curtain in the front that stays open, 20in. stationary fan on the floor to lower temps when needed...but the temp at the level of the seedlings are consistently between 66-74, temp is between 68-78 at about 14in. from the ground...room has never went over 78 degrees F...thanks again in advance

btw, the big guy is skunk #1, the others are some durban/skunk crosses by sam the skunkman, Lunas' Ak97 and NLX...first grow so we'll see how these strains will do and which turn out best:)

pics from today...i've been having some problems lately with very pale green/yellow leaves...i believe its a ph problem because its similar to the problem i had during veg...added some water with ph of 7.5 (bout 2 hrs ago) to hopefully buffer the soil...i had a very very similar probleming in the middle of my veg cycle so i think its ph...any ideas or diagnostics would help...i use cal-mag, liquid karma and biobizz biobloom...every two weeks with the first feeding about 4 days ago which made problem worse...nutes have ph of 5.8...only thing i can think of is that the 3 plants with problems needed bushmaster twice a week for the last two wks. in order to limit stretching...any suggestions
