[Guffetrold] White Widow, Blueberry, Skunk #1 - First grow, 400hps

The day has finally arrived, when I can officially say that I've started my grow!

Setup:
1 stk. 400watt agro w. cooltube
2 x White Widow
2 x Blueberry
2 x Skunk #1 Feminized

I will be using Cellmax Organic Mix (blood meal, bone meal, perlite, worm fertiliser, fungal strains and bacteria - from the bag) and hope it will provide the plants with enough nutes till flower or late veg.

I am using a Homebox 100x100x180cm (they sent me one with silver lining, no clue why :tiphat:)

12,5 cm extractor fan - 345 m3/h (havent figured wiring yet, think I need a switch?)
12,5 cm carbon filter - 365 m3/h (will be added when extractor fan is working)
12 cm inline fan
40 cm oscillating fan

The seeds were placed in mineral water and put warm and dark - First they will be planted in 0,5 l plastic cups...
... later I will transplant once to 4 x 11 (3gal) and 2 x 6,5 liter (1,7gal) pots!

Day 1

After 14 hours soaking in water all of the seeds had sunk to the bottom, lovely

After 24 hours I noticed a tiny white crack in one Blueberry and Skunk #1

- nothing from the others so far, pictures will come later, when I find the cable to the camera

Aproximately 27 hours after the seeds were put in water, none of the remaining seeds had cracked. I then put them in soaked paper towels, fearing they might drown if left in water. 2 hours later the second Blueberry popped, so hopefully tomorrow, the rest will be ready

Day 2

Horray! This morning the remainder of the seeds had cracked (though the Widows looked a little strange, with a darkish brown crack, instead of white, like the others)

They have now been planted in 0,5 liter plastic cups, and put under my hps, as it is the only light I have.

I have my concerns about temperature and air movement, as I only have the oscillating fan and inline fan so far, but im on my way to purchase a hygro and thermometer to be sure.

Im guessing you need to hardwire the extraction fan. Open the small lid on the side and you should see where to connect the wire. Just put a plug on the end and throw it in your socket or timer. Im sorry if you already knew this and i misunderstood your problem.

Stay Safe
 
I got a combo hygro/thermometer with temperature probe. Its not controlling anything, but I can see if there is any problems with the temps I should take care off.

Pics?
 
I put this in the wrong forum (even though I am danish, but I want to do it in english :))

I would be happy if you post there, as I wont update this :)

Btw, I know I am to hardwire it, but I havent had any success. Its a Blauberg Turbo 12,5cm - came with no wiring, so used some I had, but dont think thats the problem.

I thought I could just wire it and plug it lol, but the manuel says to connect with circuit breaker and external breaker (im not totally sure what that is) - Anyway, the manual isnt in perfect english so im a little unsure what is meant..

The wiring is as follows:
N (called common, as per diagram)
L (not sure what this is)
LT (again not quite sure - think its for using both speeds)
L2 (wire for maximum speed, w/o switch)
L1 (wire for minimum speed, w/o switch)

It says you can wire it with an external changer so you dont have to rewire to switch speeds, but thats not necessary for me.

Any ideas?
