Thank you! Now I need some sort of airflow, something that will not cool the shelf and balloon the walls.

So I am going to mount a fan in the grow room. Where is the best place to put it?

I up potted the beans and a couple peas today. My ghost peppers were sprouted. I had a 27 seeds and all but 2 germinated. It is awesome. Big success. I am going to have pepper plants out the yin yang. I didnt expect this high of a percentage.

Cool setup !

Fan position might be one of those try it out and adjust deals.

Talking about fans, I need to get a small one for the seedlings too. I usually use a full size, but it gets in the way a bit.

I have the fan on the light timer. I am thinking about putting it on its own and cycle it every 30 min

4 plants I started on 1/30 and the other 6 I started on 2/2. the first batch was started in bags and the other 6 were directly planted. The 1st batch is now growing their 2nd set of leaves. the other set has caught up in height, and I can see the buds of the new leaves starting. They were just my test to make sure my process worked to sustain life. Now they are getting so big I will not have room very much longer. I think I may put them in a bigger pot and set them in my window. Either I will have some early beans or I will have dead beans. Either way they will be out of my grow shelf and I will have room for up potted peppers!! :lol: :lol:
