    I kind of thought about the night time temps so I have the light on during the night and off for 4 hours during the afternoon - plus I get the bonus of cheap electric

    my light on temp is about 23c and my light off temp is 20c so im not concerned but my humidity was as low as 30 and I was hoping it to be somewhere near 55 or 60 so I bought a cheap usb humidifier for £6 and it has shifted up to 46 which im happy with but not ideal for seedlings I know

    But thanks for the good advice its nice to know and I know the type you mean..

    Seedlings will be fine above 30% soon it'll be climbing as the plant grows then your worry begins when it starts to reach the 60s in flower then the not so fun begins

    Im saving for a better led that will be enough for the 2 of them-hope this helps?
    my mars is a supposed 300w the old version but it's really about 130w i think
    I smoke pretty much all of the time so if I waffle shit please forgive me lol

    good luck with the grow bud

    Lol.. Cheers for the message.. My budget was not much when choosing a cheap led but I read a lot of reviews and I saw a couple of videos where like yourself the mars hydro could give some results although not fantastic they do work BUT when it arrived it was not what it said on the tin so im going to get either a mars hydro or a spider farmer I think..

    We do have a gas check every so often so nothing is fixed in permanent place the lining is pinned to wood and the light fixing is not fixed to anything so no major worries there they don't just turn up lol..

    Im growing in coco so yes im going to add a small amount nutes - I haven't made a final decision yet but im thinking week 3 and using a 1/2 dose of canna A+B and use some pk boost after I see pistols..

    What did you do buddy and How much did you pay for your light?

    Uh oh.

    I’m no coco grower but as a holding post, you’re not going to get to 3 weeks without nutrients.

    You’re going to need equipment that will double the initial outlay.

    Yes coco needs nutes but I all ready have canna A+B, canna boost and pk boost so im covered for that, the seedling will be fine for the first 2 weeks without any but yes thanks for the warning..

    The aim of this was to have a bit of fun and have some personal nice weed to smoke-the only other equipment I would need apart from a light is a carbon filter which can't be more than £100 ive seen them for half this? What other equipment was you thinking?
