Question about temperature. I've read you don't want to be above 30 degrees C, but I've also read of people having their box run at 90-some degrees F (more like 34-35 degrees C).

Right now mine is about 33 degrees C, but I could still do some work on the ventilation if necessary. Do you guys think this is too hot?

90 F is way to hot IMO.  Sure, your plants will grow in that temp, but you're much better off giving them a cooler environment to thrive in.  I personally wouldn't venture too far above 85 and prefer it right around 78-80 F in my cab.

I'm going to rig up the rest of my fans now that I have my carbon filter. Do I want my intake to be more or less powerful than my outtake?

I'll try to get some pics of my set up for you guys, might help you help me! :smile:

Another question for y'all, what's the smallest container I can get away with all the way to harvest? My footprint isn't very big so I'll probably start with small pots to determine sex, then transplant to the plants' final homes. Should these be at least 1 gal? 5 gal?

1 gallon pots will be suffecient. 5 gallon will be to much.

As for smell, there are some indica dom strains that claim low odor. Also indica dom plants have a smaller root system compaired to a satviva dom plant. So, you could easily get away with 1 gallon pots, maybe have to water a little more often but no big deal.

Good luck:)

Awesome looking grow, Mad With Power! What would you attribute such a successful grow to, despite being in completely done in 20oz cups? Looks like you got a great strain!

Thanks, Sgt. Smoke. 1 gallon pots seem like the best way to go for me. Again, going to try to get some pictures of my setup. It's almost 100% complete, then all that's left will be figuring out my seed situation...

Do you know if there is any disadvantage to germinating in peat pots or peat pellets? I feel like it'd be safer than having to handle the seeds from paper towels or whatever. Or am I being paranoid about hurting my seeds?

I use the paper towel method.  Since the tap root is delicate I just use the tip of a knife to scoop the seed off the paper towel when it is cracked, being mindful of the tap root.  I then gently bury it in the moist soil, only about 1/2" deep, tap root down preferably.  I cover my seedling cups with a piece of cardboard and place them in my veg box where the light is on 24/7.  The piece of cardboard gives shade, and I check on them everyday until they sprout through the soil, usually within the 2nd day.  Then I remove the piece of cardboard revealing them to the light.  Works every time.

None that I'm really aware of.  It's how I germinate all of my seeds.  Just make sure the area you keep the peat pellets in is nice and warm.

I'm able to keep my space pretty warm, so should be golden. Thanks! :smile:
