New Grower Ahhh First Grow!

[SlightlyBlitzd]

Ok guys so here's what's going on.
Strain: Nirvana Northern Lights Auto
Soil: OF
Nutrients: Alaska Fish Emulsion, miracle grow liquid QuickStart, blackstrap molasses (got the idea from a thread on here)
Light: 2 "cool" 100w cfl hanging about 3in above soil, 2 "warm" 100w cfl in heat lamps hanging about 1 1/2 feet from soil. ( granted I would like more room/lights but this is a small stealth grow and I can't go any bigger)

I also have decided to run co2 because of my heat issue so I will be uploading my new setup soon.

I haven't start germinating yet due to the fact the seeds aren't here so ima take this time to get whatever advise I can. I have a 6in fan blowing and another on pulling air out but I can't seem to get temp down below 88, will that be fine for growing NL Auto?

I will be posting pics in here whenever I start the process.

Thanks! I'm a little nervous.... Not sure how its gonna turn out

Edit: I now have my temp in grow box to 85...will that be ok?

Here is my small grow room. Temp stays at 85-86

Those temps would be ok if you were running Co2.. But from what i can see you are not... so those temps will be a little uncomfortable for ur girls...causing possible heat stress or hermie... and just a little tid bit... ur grow will never be cooler than the room you are re-circulating your air in... If the room you grow in is at 80 Degrees... ur grow space will never be cooler than that.. I would suggest dropping those temps any way you can.. maybe lower the temp of ur house? Best o Luck! ... Oh and I see ur running OF... I would mix that with something like light warrior or just some perlite,peatmoss, vermaculite... OF is kinda hot for seedlings and some autos dont like it at all...

Yea I'm having money issues so what would be the cheapest way to make ffof good for seedlings?

Could you find in your area cheap no frills soil that;'s maybe free from nutrients? And mix those together.

I and also I saw online where this guy misted his plants with seltzer water to give it co2....would that be enough for the plant at 86?

I'm sorry mix what together? The soil with no nutrients and the foxfarm?
