Cabinet grow with bagseed

Me and my brother in law recently started a bagseed grow to have a run at it before we start the good seeds we are gonna get from drchronic.com. Our cabinet that we are growing in is 3' tall and about 2 and a half feet wide by 4' deep. We have one 120 watt 2200 lumen fluro on them and we also have a few strip lights but we havent gotten around to makeing a ventilation system yet so we cant run it with all them in there cause it gets too hot. Also a few of the plants have alittle yellowing of the tips and one of them actually the leaves are curling up which i think could be nutrient lock up or over watering, but here are some pics .......
First pic is of the biggest one.

Now this is another pic of the yellowing of the leaves

And this is the sick plant

Anything?

are you feedin them any nutes... because the plant with the yellowing tips looks like its suffering from some nute burn... the curling plant could be coming from the heat.. you said theres not ventilation? how hot is it getting in there?

The average temp when the lights is on is around 80-85. Also no im not feeding it any ferts.

I'm using miracle grow, and my plants look healthy so I'm hoping they'll continue to grow. Plants need light, water, and food to live. You give them that, and they'll give you smoke eventually.

Also i was thinking of buying a 70 watt hps flood light at homedepot with a 120volt ballast, do u think that would work?

yes that will work very nicely.. but you will deffinatly need ventilation with that...you can even use the hps to veg if you suppliment it with some cool white cfl's... and about the nutes hmm does the soil their in have any nutes in it .. or maybe it could be a nitrogen def...

Yes the soil is miracle grow so i assume it has nutes in it. Also im planning on making a carbon filter with fan and also im putting another oscilating fan in there.

well then it seems like you have your cab very well planned out... about the m.g soil .. it just might be too rich for your little girl i would reccomend transplanting her into sumthing less rich... but thats just me.. either way best of luck

I think im gonna flush her then maybe transplant her to a 50/50 miracle grow and regular soil mixture.

Do u think i should add sugar to the water of the sick plant because its stressed.

the best thing right now is getting her out of that soil use something with nothing added to it that way you can determine where the problem starts you also have to test your PH or your plants will die.

MG soil has a high PH to begin with so to me its locking out any nutrients the water may have usually a yellow leave indicates a nitrogen problem but in this case i believe its your PH

Yes we are working on fixing that problem. We have already transplanted the little ones into a better mixture.

Well we went to lowes yesterday and picked up a ducting thing to make a carbon filter and its gonna most likely get painted flat white today. The plants have had a 100% increase in health! A full 180 id say. The sick one is no longer sick and is in rehabilitation mode, the yellow tips are fading away.Everythings great.:D :D

What did you do to fix the yellowing? Just flushed it?

No we switched it to half soil and half miracle grow.

wtg glad everythings working out fer ya... is this ur first grow?

I appreciate ur help alot and No ive done several grows all outside, so this is my first indoor grow.

well its looking very good...and no problem for the advice ... its what these boards are for...

I appreciate ur help and no ive done several grows all outdoors though so this is my first indoor grow .

I was thinking of doing mylar or painting it flat white, what do u think would be better?

mylar is better but flat white comes in close second...and also flat whit is cheaper..

I got both on hand right now which one would u use?

id use the mylar... paint needs to dry and seems you dont have the time right now plus mylar is more relfective just make it as tight as possible to get that mirror effect

Thanx ill go with the mylar then.

flush the plants with phed whater asap, when i say flush i mean use 3 gal of phed water with no nutes

anotehr problem your habing is the damn miracle grow soil it will let nutes out when ever it pretty much damn feels and the ph is off inthe sooil for the cultavation of mj, if you want to grow with miracle grow, just use it with no nutes and make sure you use phed water

I already got that problem all sorted out but im probably gonna flush it once just to be sure.

Everything is still goin good but we have to move to a new setup for security reasons. We will be using 2 rubbermaind bins on top of one another, ill post more pics later on.

Finally got some new pics of the grow! Its goin great but they are getting a bit wilted. I suspect that there gonna need more nutes. Also the lights are now 1 100 watt fluro and 1 150 watt and soon to come a 70 watt hps, but i have a question. If i get a 70 watt hps can i change the bulb with a higher powered one and still use the same fixture and ballast or do i have to get a new fixture or new ballast.

The whole lot

the wilting can either mean the plant needs water or y o ur watering too damn much, can you get better pics of the plant?

as far as the light goes, no. you need to use the same bulb to match the balast,

Im pretty sure it was just from underwater cause i saw that the soil was not wet, but its at my brother in laws house so i cant take anymore pictures until i go over there again but when i go ill be sure to take some. Also i think im just gonna keep the fluros in there when flowering with maybe a 150 watt hps.

Those plants are lookin nice, keep it up :). Also have you planned anything for the odor it will produce later on if your doing this from seedling to flowering plant?

Thanx, and yes im in the process of making a carbon filter but the pc exhaust fan im using just doesnt seem to be blowing that hard enough to i think make it through the actual filter part. I also got some more pics of the grow ill post them up in a second i just gotta get them outta my email.

Ok new pics.......

First pic is of all 5 of the plants( i have one more plant then planned because one germed late) and also the 1 plant looks all messed up cause its getting blown over by the fan.
