New log, six plants, first time vegging w/HID

[4x5]

Here's some updated pics if you dare to care! I ended up killing one of my four, so I can get a head-start on the drying/curing. The plant I killed had some "issues" with training and didn't fill in quite right, it yielded a meager 52g wet (destemed, trimmed) my remaining 3 will more than make up for it.

4x5 Reviewed by 4x5 on 08-08-2006. New log, six plants, first time vegging w/HID All my previous grows were done with cfls and floro tubes, However this time my seedlings are under my 2 175w coated MV lamps and cfls, I finished the remote ballasts and re-oriented the bulbs in their reflectors this week. I must say I am quite impressed, all six seedlings cracked the surface last week under 6 cfls at 18/6; after that week my new hid setup was ready, within 2 days under these lights, all six have a first set of internodes, this never happened to me on previous grows with Rating: 5

is it just my imagination or are the fan leaves on the middle plant just gigantic?

Hey 4x5, its nice to see everything is still going well with your grow man. With the 150 hps that u are using, do u have a fan pointing at it to keep the temps down or is it not producing a lot of heat. How are you keeping your heat low? temps in cab?

Nice grow room. So your using shultz ferts for flowering. Do you think that the mylar makes a big diff? I heard it does.
4x5- do you have pics of your grow room? I am just curious to see what options I have for my next grow. I need to redesign my room and light. Thanks.

that HPS puts out slightly more heat than a MV bulb, havent had troubles with heat, I disasembled the ballasts and put them outside the room, that took care of my temp problems, I have a 12" exhaust (low speed) in the ceiling, 2 80mm 12v PC fans and an inline air "pump" for intake to the room, only 2 clip fans for movement to the plants and another 80mm fan mounted in the hood. My room sits 3-5 degrees higher than the room next to it (no a/c btw) temps average btw 70-85 only hit 90 a few times.

I switched to mylar after running out of white foam core board. I do think the mylar does a good job, but I usually use just plain white boards for reflectors. I do use shultz for veg and shultz bloom ferts for flower, works great, no taste from it, hardly any yellowing yet either(they are losing leaves, but from the bottom up). I cannot post pics of my whole room b/c it is a dual purpose room and is filled with incriminating chems and equipment; but once this grow is done, I might post pics of the equipment.

Okay sounds good. I was just curious of your setup since you are having awesome results ands thats what I want for my next grow, so I want to build a good grow room. Also, if you can tell me how you are cooling the room?

[4x5]

plainly outside air, I rely on the temps available, the only days the room hit 90+ was when it was 98 outside (which is why it feeds from an adjacent room, with open windows); just lots and lots of fresh air. the room is 186 cu/ft, my exhaust is 400 cfm, it's slow but with the air being pumped into the room with my described intakes, I get circulation twice a mintue easily.
