also i use a 120 mm fan in a 2 30gal rubbermaids. my room is an avg 70degrees somteims cooler. now should i even use a fan? using about 200+w CFLs and i got the fan right on top of the box so im worried that im not even allowing the box to get warm enough? is it possble?
It's great how this thread has turned into a Q & A for you.

As for their being too much perlite, I'm sure it's possible. I believe that you should probably have at most a 1:1 ratio. So, maybe half your medium should be perlite, but not 80%. I also already shared with you some of the different mixes you could try. Just go to like the second page of this thread and you'll see where we already had that conversation. Hope this helps!
soccergal Reviewed by soccergal on . My First Ever Grow (Advice more than Welcome) Ok...I'm starting this thing from the very beginning and going to go through the whole grow. Hopefully my plants will make it there. I've read the FAQ in depth, and while I'm sure there is much more to learn...I'm going to try to also learn by experience. For right now, I have 4 seeds germinating. It's just bag seed, but came from some Skywalker I got a while back from Hightimestoner. I'm not sure they'll sprout, but hey, might as well give it a try. Right now I have them germinating Rating: 5
