Newbie from the UK could do with some help with first grow

Do u had the hot weather too can’t eait for it tho cool down but I have got like 3 600w leds in there and 2 hps which kick of heat bad
 
Kraizk I think your plants have slowed right down due to only having 60 watts of power on them, poor light = poor growth that’s just how it is in this game I know you are having trouble with temps with a more powerful light but you will get nowhere with 60 watts, so there’s a fella on the bay doing Samsung quantum boards by the name rickm.georg (651) he could make you a unit to fit perfect in your set up and these units run cool probably a lot cooler than the ones you have, I know you don’t want to here to spend more money but this would be a very wise investment and will last plus and they grow shit hot buds 1.5 grams per watt can be easily achieved with these units plus if you got a GPW how bad is that.
Also you are going to have to up the air exchange to deal with the heat can you put the unit next to some out side air? because if the room that the unit is in is warm and you are extracting hot air out in to the room your intake is just putting it straight back in so you need to get fresh colder air
from outside and extract to outside to as to keep the room the unit is in cooler if this makes sense this can be done with flexible hosing or pipe work and will be difficult to do to look super stealthy but I have seen it done check it out on the tube.
Don’t feel bad that you might have wasted a bit of money on growing gear we have all done this when we all started growing fuck a have a loft full of it lol, but that’s what 420 is for to help guide people to there golds in growing top rank buds hope this helps you, good luck cheers.

i had to get a friend tobaby sit. almost, not quite but almost, came back to a disaster lol

choose help carefully!!!
 
gotcha
well at least with soil you arent watering daily
if you feed em as you walk out the door you could maybe get away with only needing a friend for a single visit...
how many days are they between waters atm?
im on coco and had to get someone in every day for a week when i went.
my lights come on at 9pm too and fed at that time so was very awkward for him lol
hes up at 5am daily haha

i water between 2 and 3 times a week and 1 of them is nutrients, i only feed them nutrients once a week dunno if thats to little for nutrients, my lights are on 8am untill 2am. :)
 
That's a cool little setup mate and the plants look happy.

A 5 day week or a 7 day week? Assuming you're on a timer you may get by with soaking them and having nice big drip trays under the pots filled with water. They might look a little drowned for a bit but should live through it
