(Noob)How big of a problem it is if i planted my seeds in soil that has plenty nutrients and ph 7 ( from store) thanks! And no, i will not over water them xd

Any suggestion? Bag seeds. Smaller one popped randomly after one month thought it was dead. I will get better light. The bigger one is stretching because the light was much weaker before

Mars hydro ec fans
Hi all.
Just starting my spacebucket build in a 20g can. I have most of my equipment but i am stuck on fan choice.
Essential for it to be as quiet as possible without breaking the bank. It is going to be in a bedroom that is occasionally used so I need to take that into account for it to be viable.
Seen the mars hydro ec range which looks the same as many more expensive options, but if anyone has any first hand experience that would be great.

Light Problems
So I posted last week an update on my 55gal space barrel. After reading yalls comments and doing some looking i realized my top light was only 100 true watts and the LED strips weren’t strong enough. That being said with the barrel at 3ft tall w only 100w light can I compensate w the strip lights on the side? And if so can someone pls link the right kind for me? I know the only part of this you dont wanna skimp is the lighthing! Cheers boys

Day 40: Lemon Haze Auto. Place you bets on how much it will weild

How she's looking for you guys?

Controlling SpaceBucket Temperature
Hi, Im a newbie from south asia and we have a bit warm climate here (70-95F). Will I have to implement some other mechanisms to reduce the temperature other than an exhaust fan? Also could you recommend me some beginner friendly strains that will thrive in this temperature?
Thanks!! ❤️

Fresh germinated bag seed, first time, now it’s in total darkness, tomorrow i will get lights. Soil is from store ph 7. Please give me advice

Off colors, and twisting leaves, any advice?
Sour Diesel auto fem in happy frog potting soil. No nutes. Ph treated, filtered water. Only watering when the moisture meter is on the low side of good.
Stays around 78°. Humidity is a bit low at 40% (VT basement heading into winter, I'm going to struggle with humidity). I just turned off the main light, and misted the heck out of them. Waited an hour, and most was absorbed. Misted again, and when it's fully absorbed, I'll kick the main light back on.
Obviously I'm leaning towards humidity, but I am not very well versed at growing. I've had several successful runs using the Happy frog potting soil and no nutes, but I figured I'd ask the experts in case this is a deficiency. This is my first go at Sour Diesel.

First bucket progress/ Temp Questions pls help
So this is my first space bucket build and so far it’s been pretty fuggin fun making this thing. The light that I used is 300w and I’m wondering if i need another led strip on the side of the bucket or if the one thats on there is even doing anything lol also the light gets kinda hot on the back part that’s exposed and the area on the lid that it sits on. I’ve been able to leave the light on for an hour or 2 and check the temp inside while 2 of the fans are running (waiting on powerstrip lol) and it stays at a consistent 79-80 degrees so I’m not as concerned about internal temp as I am melting my lid off.. any comments about the whole setup would be appreciated! Pls lmk if I’ve made any major mistakes! Can’t wait to throw a plant in this thing and be a part of the community here💯
