    Default 600w (airpot) think different and Afghan Kush Ryder grow (1st time)

    hey guys this is a journal of my first ever grow, as the title says it will be think different and afghan kush ryder in a 1.2 x 2 metre tent under a 600w HPS bulb in 15 litre air pots.
    i will add pictures if there is interest form you guys in seeing them and helping me, if people really would like to help me and be apart of this i will definately repay that with constant updates and pictures, right now im just testing the water
    i have some questions

    1) right now they are 8 days old looking great for the most part, when should i start using nutes (grow/bloom)
    2) im using tap water that definately has chlorine in it so i have been resting the water over night for 8-10 hours to helpo is dissolve is that doing enough or should i start buying 5 litre bottles of bottled water?

    i hope you guys are interested in being apart of this if so its gonna be great for me, looking forward to hearing from you guys

    good idea Zip here you go

    Tent = 1.2 x 1.2 x 2.0m tall
    Shade = vented hood (6"inch)
    Lights = 600w HPS
    Fan = 6"inch can fan (DIY silenced)
    Carbon Filter = PrimaKlima 200mm carbon filter
    Medium = plagron royalty mix and plagron seeding and cutting soil (first few inches on top of airpots is seeding soil with low ec etc for young plants) (royalty mix has 6 weeks of nutrients included in the soil)
    Nutrients = Terra Vega and Terra Flores
    Pots = 15 litre airpots

    one problem i noticed is that my fan is so strong that when its night time and the light is still on due to my 24/0 schedule my tent temps hit 19 celsius, during the day they max out at 24 celsius and i have no problems with humidity, is there any DIY ways for me to add a couple degrees temp to the tent at night? i tried using a fan controller at night to slow down extraction from the hood but the buzz was far too loud.

    those cheap fan controllers(light dimmers) are shite, the proper ones don't hum at all mate.

    as for feeding, new soil has about 3 weeks food in it, so no feeding required to week 4 in soil(if you don't pot up). and if you are potting up regulary none should be needed until flower.

    get a diary going so we can all see your progress.
