How does my setup look??

[sickies42o]

Hey guys just wanna see what you experienced and proffesional growers think of the setup.....

[xxMrGreenThumbx]

tin foil crap.. Use flat white paint.. Tin foil creates hotspots and dusnt reflect light evenly.. nyc plants wt strain r they?

[sickies42o]

i have no idea what strain they are but the only reason why those card boards are up with aluminum foil is so i could trap the light in cause originally they werent there and the light was just able to go all over the place now its just closed in onto the plants....the plants were clones from a friend given to me as a gift i duno what strains they are any one have any guesses??

[sickies42o]

Anyone able to tell the strain also??

u shud giv mor detail aswel.. Wt lyts u using? Wt bout ferts? nyc fat leaves so u no there indica..

well first off like previous poster said, get rid of the tin foil, all of what he said is true. and if you realy serious about this being your new hobby i suggest you figure out a "sealed" place for them to be in. this will alow you to keep humidity and temps constant once dialed in properly. and if you cant aford a ready made grow tent, you can always build one for real cheap to whatever size works for you(i know, my grow room cost me less than $50 to build and its dimensions are 5'WX4'DX7.5'T, and that included everything, framing, plastic, mylar, and ventalation) and it will be just as efficient as any "high dollar" grow tent.

theres no way of ever knowing what species you have, there is way to many out there. all you can do is enjoy them when they are done:jointsmile:. good luck with your grow my friend!!!:thumbsup:

im using a 1000w hps light with a lumatek 1000w digital ballast..im using BC nutes, but boost and bloom cause there 3 weeks into flowering.. a fan for air circulation and the only exaust fan is the one the bathroom has already.. but temps usualy stay between 84-92 with lights on mainly mid 80s and 63-65 with lights off...

Whenever I go into a bathroom now I assess its potential as a grow room. They make so much sense - Tiled floor, they are usually white, they have water readily accessible, and they usually come pre-baked with a vent.

Your set up is looking pretty good. Get rid of the tinfoil. Home depot sells a great product called Reflectix. It is used around radiators to reflect heat. It is 95% reflective but it reflects a diffused light pattern which = greater efficiency. You can easily tack it to those boards. That or Panda or Mylar but the Reflectix is probably going to be cheaper and easier to get.

You want to move your thermostat to about waist level and in the shade in order to get an accurate reading of the canopy temperature. Your temps are a little on the high side but doable. You don't want them getting hotter than your high end though. 85 is optimal.

That fan is fine for now but once they get bigger you will want a proper swiveling fan.

Finally, those are quite a few plants for that small space. I'm guessing you will be pulling out males and that is why you have so many?

theres two temps on that gauge it shows the temp thats reading which is at the bottom and then the one this white little remote thing sits in the middle where the actual most light is being hit and its the one that shows in the middle of the screen the big numbers...but GOD DAMMIT i just had a problem that board on the far side by the black end of the wall just fell and one of my plants snapped but it didnt completey break of....theres still a good bit connected but it did snap in half.....soo i taped it perfectly back together so the place between the cracked stem matches together like a puzzle....DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS WILL WORK!!!!!!!! i hope it does....PLSSS DOOO:mad:

This will work just fine. You have just LSTed your first plant although in this case it may be high stress training... I'm not sure about the tape though. If it is in place I'd say leave it alone. You should be able to remove it in a week. If it is easily removed you might want to correct it. A few match sticks as splints bound with a bit of twisty tie. You have good instincts.

heres some pics!!!! this is how i taped it back together... the first one and third one is how i taped it and the second one is what it looks like now from the top....HOPEFULLY its works out...

[bigsby]

Yeah I am a bit concerned about the use of tape. It will bind to the skin of the plant and prevent it from breathing plus you will need to remove it at some point which could prove difficult. Further, the tape is likely to become gooey in that heat. It may create issues. I guess it is wait and see now.

there is so much to consider here, obviously i agree with the others regarding the foil. what is the substrate? what nuts. are you using, how is your humidity, what are you using for lighting, please post a few details
