Comes a Time, First Grow, Please Step Inside -- 2000 watt Sour Diesel

Looking very nice, you'll be developing the room as you go along. Clones are droopy initially.

Yep, room will be changing almost weekly... always more stuff to buy and more money to spend. Next up is a better fan, a lock for the door, and something that will keep light from coming in under the door, this way the room can be closed off. I then plan to switch to 18/6. The door has been open alot, and the room is getting a nice draft from outside, have to assume my temps are going to go up alot when the room is closed. I have to get that ventilation up, problem is I can't afford a fan just yet. My temps are usually 74-80 with the door open, do you guys think it will be far too hot in there if I close the door?

Yes, I do...
But total reflection isn't alwasy necessary, check this lighting out:

Quick question here guys... the clones look less droopy today, still some that appear to be showing no signs of improvement. They were transplanted about 18 hours ago now. I just got a voice mail from my buddy who gave em to me, and I could not hear the entire message but I did hear him say to use what I thought sounded like "B1 Solution" when transplanting. Here is my question: I have a grow shop near the town I live in, although the clones have already been in there 18 hours, should I cruise down there and buy something to help them get adjusted? Or should that have been done at the initial transplant and now it's a little late? The root systems were very nice on the clones, and I felt like they might be okay on their own, but maybe I am second guessing myself a bit? I can make it to the store after work today at 5:00... what ya guys think

you can get some vitamin b1 from sc hydroponics but if your roots have shown then i would just let them do their thing. make shure the soil and water is warm and that they are always moist.

Got some b1 from the store, gave it to them. Should have been done when transplanting, but this is better than nothing. Clones look alot better, most are rising up to the "sun" alot more. Also raised the lamp to five feet, the guy at the store told me you don't want them as close as three feet, he said give em a day or two at five, and drop it back down - don't want to stress the babies. He also suggested part of the reason for the droopy-ness was indeed because the light was too close to them. Forgot to check the temp of my water, what should it be at santacruz?

Also wanted to post one more question...

I have the lights 24 hours on right now, but I want to switch that to 18/6 real shortly. Unfortunately my ventilation is not set up yet (that's next) I am concerned about the room being too hot (when the door is closed because the lights are off) and also... we have carpets and not much light should get under the door at all, but I should be pretty careful about that as well right? Would a small hallway light effect it if a few rays got under the door during their light cycle? If so, can I wait a day or two to switch over to 18.6? Thanks in advance guys.

^^^^^ That should read if a few rays got under the door during their DARK cycle not light...


Thanks

Clones are very much appreciating the dose of B1 they were given tonight, they are looking so much better already! Light was also moved up to 5 feet above the baby clones, as instructed by the person who gave them to me. I figure give 'em a day or two at this height, and then drop the light about a foot once new growth is starting to show. Not many appear stunted at all, very happy with the results so far. Will post some pictures in a few days!

Welp, gave em some nutrients last night around 11 PM, figured they could use it. The clones look wonderful today! All but one standing up completely on its own, and looking healthy. I am sure they are a bit confused as to why they got a dose of B1 followed by nutes like 6 hours later, but they are looking better than I could ask for. Tonight I think I will just give them straight water for feed, you guys agree? How much water do you guys generally give em this young? I gave a half cup with the B1, and a half cup with the nutes, so perhaps they won't need water for a little bit?

Thinking about getting the timers all set up, and trying to close off the room today so that I can give these guys a rest. I think 18.6 is better for them than 24 on, but it seems that either can be used effectively.
