Well let me start by apologizing for starting report this late in the grow but honestly I just know figured out how to post pictures . I ordered 6 SWeet tooth for seedsman man it took 5 weeks , but they came thru always responded to my emails I think they were 25 dollars I built a 4 by 4 by 4 grow box and it cost about 100 dollars to build and it sits in my barn which by the way is unairconditioned which has been my biggest issue we've had temps of 93 . I'm using FF oceans soil about 60 bucks placed in 5 gl grow bags like 20 bucks. I purchased my Apollo 400w HPS and Mh for 150 which includes a hood with no vent! Here was my biggest issue by far, a 400w inside of a box with external temps in the 90s...well you get the pic. To remedy I orderd a bake around Pyrex glass tube man this things great works perfect, Just make sure your bulb will fit in it I think I paid 25 for it . I have a 4inline fan which I purchased from amazon for 65 with 325 cfm. I had to purchase a separate light cord so I could piggy tail in the light so air would flow thru the 4in incoming line from outside of the box and exhaust .It was 30 dollars . My daughter had one of those Christmas decorations that blows up, well it was torn so I took the fan and made a homemade scrubber free. I cut in two passive intakes about 4 in each on opposite side of scrubber and on bottom of the box. I think in all it was about 500 to get started. OK, that's my setup I have had them on 18 and 6 for 21 under 400w mH for 21 days today .they are asleep most of the day to help with heat. I unfortunately got 4 of them very hot and just Barely saved them they are stunted so bad I don't know if they are worth the trouble so I really have two decent flowers , after that I started leaving my door halfway open and that resolved the heat issue , it still gets 89 tho .I started FF big bloom today . I don't realy want them to start blooming right now but ff soil says to start nutes after 3 wks and big bloom says its good for veg and flower opinions? I have not tested PH because well one its awful awkward to try and get run off to test out of those bag pots , and well I just haven't , but I'm gona! Lol I'm sure I forgot some major points but please feel free to give me any pointers they would be appreciated .

see you figured out the pic problem bro :) nice :thumbs:

they look great budd :smokebuds:
 
They're looking good. Personally I don't look at the actual heat too much unless there's clear signs of heat stress. Put your hand at the top of your plants and if it's not too hot for you then your girls should be fine. I'd suggest watching humidity closer than heat.
 
lookin good mate. am no expert but 80/90 degrees f is optimal anyway so shouldnt be an issue a think. likin the d.i.y-ness of your setup mate, a love a bit of improv:wiz:
 
hey bro thanks for the response I haven't even checked the humidity leveles thanks ill check that ASAP . Any feedback is appreciated .
 
Hey man yea I had to make my box and then I built a enclosure inside of my barn so I can lock up my grow box and the room that goes to it , Just incase any body gets nosy . Thanks for the response I don't know if I replyed in the right area ,I'm new at this .
 
Day 22 ST

Well I opened my grow box this morning and I had the most beautiful aroma hit me. I'm wondering if I need to trim a couple of fan leaves or tie them over so light can get to the new bud sites ? I can tell they grew quite a bit last 24 hrs . Here's a pic of one should I trim? Thanks again for your help
