@HaanfSolo, I was using the sensi ph perfect with coco as it saves so much time messing with ph but Iv just gone fully organic after using them side by side as the organic with soil is a better product and done with the best quality organic base feed on the market which is iguana juice theres little to no loss with yield which is an issue with most organics.Take no notice of fools like ninja,oregano and double zero.Iv handed each of them their arses on a plate over the last 2 days by giving them some facts so that should be the last of them slating me.They wouldnt even reply to my questions then went on to delete the comments of me proving them wrongThey all deleted my comments on their pages and can't even admit they're wrong never apologise for slating me.Ninja in the comment above telling me to use 1500umols which would probably kill my plants,its really basic info he's getting wrong.Iv told him he has no place telling people what to do.I dont like involving others but they're slating my good name.Reputations take a lifetime to build and morons like that can ruin them in mins.Again,sorry to go on.I'm using canna bio terra soil mix which has 30% coco in it and I'm adding clay balls to bring even more air in.The plantscertainly prefer it.They look that bit better than the ones in coco.I am still using some non organic items during veg as Iv just swapped over.Iv not grown without a root booster for over 15yrs and the best on the market is House and Gardens roots excellorator,I also use their Amino Treatment mostly for the L Forming amino acids and seaweed but it also has proteins and soy hydroslate and silicon.House and Garden are up there with the best.Even big mike from advanced said their root booster is the best out there,praise doesnt come higher.Sorry Iv just noticed Iv already told you about those clowns,Iv been trying to tell everyone we've come into contact with.You must think I'm full of shit or mad for going on about.Dicks making me look like a dick.As you can tell,I'm pissed..

If its an option then you'd be better off with a different light for the first month or more..I have a number of CFL strips and bulbs and a cool white led strip.Spectrum has a huge effect on plant porphology,blue keeps them short and stocky and reds encourage stretching leading to spacing between the internodes,the braches which is where the buds sites are.The closer together they are the more bud sites you have.Theres a free phone app to measure your light intensity.PPFD Metre.You can measure what umols your light is putting out so you're able to fine tune it and give them just what they want when they want it.I think seedlings is around 300umol,veg 500,flower1000 with more inbetween.You'll have to google it.You can do without it,I did for 30yrs.

@Ninjabuds,I'm going to tell you again as you're still making me look like the dick you are.You have no place giving people advice when so much of it is wrong.Youy slate my name then when I come onto your page to prove how you're wrong you ignore me and delete my comments.You should be finding those comments where you've slated me and put them right.From what I can see you go onto the questions and just repeat what other have said.How sad and desperate are you.Prove me wrong.So many of you talk so much shit.Talk about delusional.

@Ninjabuds, Thanks for the info but some of it is incorrect.1500umols is way too much.1100 is max unless you're add co2 which 99% of us arent.Your co2 ppm outside is around 400ppm in small house with a couple of people breathing it can get up to several hundred but its wants to be around 1200 to use all those umols.Idealy its around 900 without co2 which is why the majority of high powered 600w led,s reach just that.That's why the majority of hid lamps producded and sold were 600w and led,s have just taken over the same foremat.Any decent led producer will state their 1000w lights are only to be used with co2.I did my homework several years ago when I switched over to led,s from hid lamps.I guess the sensors are close enough and I'd never just go on a light metre.I have 30yrs experience of growing hydroponically so first and foremost I use my experience and common sense.If I'm wrong then please let me know but like I say I did my homework so unless its new science I'm sure I'm correct.

you could raise your humidty if you have control over it, id raise it to 60-62% until flowering starts and then lower it slowly. plants in the vegetative stage benefit immensely from higher humidity within reason. Id see how they react with it a bit higher. some plants wont like it and prefer a bit dryer so if you have control over it, you could play around and see what these specific plants prefer

I thought the Alga bloom was some sort of booster when I saw it but Iv just seen its an organic base flower feed, to be used every watering. Never used plagron besides soil. The pk will be manmade mineral salt feed. If it doesn't state its organic then its mineral salts.Mineral salts are taken up directly by the plant but the organic is converted by soil microbes so its natural.The plant has a symbiotic relationship with 100s of differnt microbes all doing different jobs that the plant asks them to do,it feeds them sugars.They can fix things like nitroigen.The sugar royal is to feed the microbes.Next time you're best sticking to one or tghe other.Iv recently gone full organic after decades growing hydroponically.Qualit soil and half decent tap water and theres no need to worry about ph with organics.Iv not adjusted mine for years.I havent checke4d it for over a month.If you've got the funds the best food on the market is Advanced Nutrients,organic or mineral.I also use use bat guano during flowering qwhich helps improve the smell and taste.Its reall y high in P phophorus,the P in PK.I use ash for K,pot ash.Stand your water for at least 24hrs to disolve the chlorine as its kills the microbes.The hanging height of my 600w bar light is around 40-65cm.

They're looking very palke and cragy.Your temps aren't high enough. The sweet spot is 28c which is over 80f.It took me weeks to work it out when I switched to led,s from hid lamps.If I go below 27 then mine look just like yours. Its due to the lack of infrared in the led,s compared to hid lamps.Over 90% of what you read about temps will be when growing with hid lamps.Everything several years old will be for certain. Get those temps up and I guess you'll see a big improvement in 5 days.

@oldskoolkool, I have it at 75%, think I should go to ca.90? I’m unsure about the height of the lights, they’re at about 40cm above. Room temp is at 25. just added more pics
