    Autumn here with me. Garage is always cool because where it is (in the shade 90% of the day) I will get it up and running tomorrow.

    what fan are you running? Smoke a joint outside the tent intake and see if its sucking in air fast enough. My guess is you'll need a more powerful fan to exchange the air faster. Are you using domes? Grab a 1.5ltr or 2ltr plastic bottle and cut the base off to use. Spray/mist it with water
    Inside whenever you see it drying up.

    Buy yourself a black orchid extractor fan, and keep all your vents open.

    I can confirm that My lights broke so i germed on the windowsill last week...6 days after sprouting they looked the same as day 2...but leggy as a supermodel. Windowsill is no good except maybe for a few days in the height of summer.

    After what seemed like the longest 3 days of my life lol, stripped everything and started again. Got a consistent temp with light on at about 26-29 and extractor is running just like it should be humidity is still low at about 30rh so I’ve added a few cups of water and giving the tent a light mist at light on. Just need to get a small little fan heater for lights off just to tick over and everything should be sweet.
    Plants seem to have grown more in the last 36 hours in the new set up than 4-5 days in the last. A little concerned about the size but I’m assuming it’s down to cock up ive made. Hoping to bring these back to life soon as they are coming to 2 weeks old this week.

    they can be pretty forgiving so long as you pamper them to fuck!
    regards to misting! do be careful not to spray anywhere near the bulb, glass everywhere n a big bang,
    cut the arses of 2lt bottles n mist the insides, you create domes like a greenhouse to help the humidity levels, stab a few holes in the lid too.
    re soil up to 2 fingers under the first leaves (if your in soil),
    once they are big enough n strong enough (usually after a week) you can remove the domes. youll find once theres more greenery the rh will increase slowly as you will be watering more!

    Sounds like you need a cool tube and a dimmable ballast for your 600.

    That’s tonight’s mission, to put domes on just to get things going again. Have them in soil but going to get them in bigger pits the weekend hopefully!
