I've had seeds germinate overnight, and I've had it take as long as a week and a half... Both in the same kind of conditions...
I thought you meant just random potted plants Hah. If they are already sprouted you might as well just stick them in there... If you run out of room, then you'll have to deal with that problem later :P
yeah its a small romm i am worried about how i have limmited height for the light but yea i have the seeds in a humidity dome with a heat pad under it and i wish the sprouts would come up sooner lol :(
Im pretty sure lowryder doesn't get over 24" right? You should be fine...
yea i was told no more then 16" but you dont think the 430 watt hps will be to hot for them that close 15" away from the light
i think if they get to big i will just tie the tops down
Just make sure theres ventilation right over the tops of the plants to blow the hot heat of the light away :thumbsup:
yeah i have the 3' fan 4" bathroom fan for air in and i am going to get a 4" can fan with a carbon filter i just hope the fan is not louad
im thinkin about this combo off of ebay 142 cfm 4 " INLINE Can Fan DUCT FAN & can filter combo - (eBay item 230182544932 end time Oct-24-07 07:44:26 PDT)
any one willing to help me? id greatly appreciate it
The bin your pots are in should be light proof because light kills roots. Paint the outside of the bin with black paint and put some mylar over the lid to block the light. You might want to paint the lid black too.
As far as adding potted plants, I would advise against it. If anything, you could probably add another hydro system in there similar to the one you have. Also, you are going to run into some problems when the plants get larger as your pots are only a couple inches apart. Lowrider is a bushy plant and the 400W light is going to have trouble penetrating through the leaves of 6 plants if they are that close together. The lower areas of the plants will suffer.
Also, 6 plants is plenty for the 400W light. I wouldn't add any more.
