New To Growing In an Ikea Closet

I also use a Darkroom tent and it is great. There are about 5-6 little dots that I can see light from the outside of the tent like GrowMeds said, but during lights out I have zipped myself in the tent and it is BLACK! Can't see your hand when it is an inch from your face, LOL!

Thanks brothers,

Went out today and got the Darkroom this afternoon!:woohoo:

Will be setting up this weekend.

A little update on the girls:

Everything is growing great! The new light and soil mix seems to be doing their job!

July 25th Northern Light Question

July 25th Northern Light Question

I'll post in the Infirmary later, but can you offer any suggestions regarding what is happening with my Northern Lights #2 (NL #2)??

Temps range 73-78degreesF, RH 42-68%, water PH 6.5, under 600 MH light

I've watered when they feel light. You can tell light with these 1.25 pots.

The problem with those little guys is way too much light. They shouldn't be under a 600 watt MH for quite a while. Those are just little babies and should be under floro lights or at most a 200 CFL. They just can't handle all those lumens at this age.
Later when they have some true leaves,about 4-6 inched in growth and a root system large enough to sustain the plant they will be ready for that light.

how long have the NL been in those cups..and 1.25 pints are good size they just might be takin thier sweet time
mine didnt really move verticle till the roots were established ,,they broke the soil on the 20th right..they are fem seeds so dont expect huge plants..I guess ya could put em in the corner of the tent for a little less lumens,,but IMO they are fine no nute burn just slow..

Pictures of my tent and girls

Other than twice watering the NL the other plants have not shown any need for watering since re potting 7 days ago. :yoinks:
The lower leaves look a little turned down, but the pots still feel heavy.

Perhaps the soil mix I prepared is good at retaining water.

Any question, suggestions on the water issue? Anyone?

socbutter - The tent looks awesome! Glad you got one that passed the inspection. I've been watchin' your thread to see which one you settle in with as I've been lookin around myself. I'll likely be grabbin a friends tent as he may not need it anymore. Not large enough for him, a problem I'd like to have. The DarkRooms have looked quality since the begining.

I love it so much I went back and purchase
Secret Jardin Darkroom DR60 to replace
the IKEA cabinet.

These tents are really high quality items.
I highly recommend the Darkrooms!:woohoo:
