Hey Guys... New To the Forum, Would Love a little Help!

Set up the lights today, boy is it a bitch to find studs! At least things are moving along. I am very suprised by the amount of noise created by the ballast, you can hear a slight hum from outside the room, and I am a bit concerned about that. Right now its just sitting on the floor, I wouldn't imagine you can do much besides possibly mount it on a wall, which might actually create more noise. What do you guys do to combat this if anything

Tricky situation here. I need about forty clones, and they will be arriving sometime this week. Thursday at the absolute latest. I just received five soul diesel clones from a friend of a friend. Few questions:

a.) I don't have any flouros...was planning to do the first vegging under one 1000 watt lamp. Is it worth turning the lamp on now or will that throw timing off later when i get the other clones? I don't want to lose these ladies, the bud is great... what is my best plan here?

b.) The clones are in soil, inside of plastic solo cups. Can I throw them under the 1000 watt? I am using Sunshine #4 - not soil. Can these be put into Sun Shine at a later date (maybe in four to five days when I receive other clones)...or should it be done now?

Any help is much appreciated.

Talked with a buddy, he said just turn on the lamp and get the other ones when possible. No point in letting these puppies go. With reguards to the soil/hydro medium... should I just transplant in about a week or so into the SunShine#4? Any help is appreciated.

Well, I am not sure if you should transfer right now, It will probably stress them out a little and as a new grower you don't really want to deal with that. Me, I would probably wait about 2 weeks or so, untill they are fully rooted. What size cups are they in? If they have plastic bags over them they are most likely not rooted yet. Keep the 1000W about a yard away for now. With leaving them in the soil right now and then transfering them into Sunshine mix, they will retain the soil root ball and will take a different feeding schedual than the rest that are in sunshine, not way different, but you want to keep it in mind. They will not need to be fed as often as the soilless mix. And no, they won't be to far off of the clones you get on Thur, if anything they will be a little behind if they are not rooted yet.

Nope, they appear rooted. They are in red plastic solo cups, just in the soil and doing fine. I have the lamp about three feet away, and plan to leave it that way for a few days and take it down a bit... don't want to stress my first babies! I agree to keep it in mind when these ladies are the only ones that have lived in soil - I will be posting pictures soon and updating this thread frequently. Please refer back for progress, and it sure is good to have someone help you out. Thanks Blue! :rasta:

Hey Guys...
So I got four Soul Diesel clones, and I had no other options besides throwing them under the 1000Watt HID lamp. The light is three feet from the plants, and while I don't have my digital therm. working (it will be later today) the temps in there aren't all that high at all. A few look real good, but these two are showing signs of a bit of wilting. Will they recover? I had the lamp about 3/4 of a foot closer than it is now, did I burn em a bit?

Thanks!

bump, bump it up!

If those brown patches are new, you sure did.

They were a tad distorted when I received them. My friend was not terribly into giving out his strain so naturally I got the runts. The light is three feet above now, if they are burnt a little bit do they generally recover? Two look real good two look so so. Going to be getting about thirty more in there before weeks end... this is very exciting! I'm such a NEWB!
