Master Kush x Silver Haze 1st Grow - YAY!

[ConnieSewer]

Damn - I hit as high as 105 degrees.

Time to put my thinking cap on. I ran ducting for my intake to bring in cold air - it didn't make any difference.

Wait a minute...... I think I got an idea.

you could tap into an a/c vent. Or, make sure you have an intake on the bottom of the containers.. and the exhaust at the top area... lights and heat are at the top, get cool air coming in from the bottom. Also the temp in the room makes a big difference.

Update:

I have sprouts. 100% germination. All of them are sticking about 1/2" out of the soil now. So 4 days to sprout. Excellent.

I bought 2 of those high-flow Delta 90mm fans and replaced my old fans with these. Ambient (not surface) temp in the container is now 82 degrees. :rasta:
The con with having Delta fans is the noise. Not even a fraction of the noise of a typical oscillating fan, though - just that high-pitched whirring sound from the motors.

I thought I'd add that I'm using a 150-watt miniATX power supply to run my 12 volt fans. I tested it with the three fans running and it is drawing 90 watts.

PSU=90
(3) CFL 30w Day=90
(2) 21W Warm White=42


Roughly 250W draw off of this unit only. :thumbsup:

Quick question: does it hurt sprouts to go directly into intense 24/7 light like I have in the rubbermaid container?

[klup]

might need lights, still, im stoked for the super silver haze

i have put sprouts under 24/7 before with no ill effects.

Something you don't typically see in the grow logs:

The emotional/human aspect of it. I have mixed feelings - I am super stoked to come home from work and see two small light-green round leaves on one of the sprouts - and the rest of them about to do likewise. Very cool.

It's tough to not tell anybody. It's hard to be so excited and want to share with others - but not be able to.

The paranoia sets in. I have trouble posting on this forum, thinking that the feds are watching my online activities. I'm freaking out about someone seeing my setup. I'm scared of Uncle Sam.

I'm angry. I'm angry that in the supposed "Land of Freedom" I cannot grow a PLANT without fear of having my life destroyed.

I'm happy - because I know that soon I'll be able to experience enjoying marijuana that I personally grew and cared for.

Growing is a strange experience so far. I have been reluctant to post pics of anything due to my paranoia too.

Interesting times... I'm rambling.

LOL

I was pretty baked.

Dude,

Take the shirt with the bull's eye that says "Catch me if you can" on it off. You've got beans that are growing, great. Read and watch... if you run into problems, ask. Otherwise, just be happy, my suggestion, don't post pic's (if you are so desperate to post, use a proxy).

Remember...LEO watches every post everywhere.
