Another micro grow

@ThomFoolery, Thanks man. If I skip the veg 18/6 light period n start them 12/12 from the moment they pop up from the soil they tend to concentrate on growing and flowering the main cola. Any other growth is localised to the main stem and has little stretch. I have a small space (2x2x4) so humidity can get out of hand with bushy plants allowed to veg before flipping.and they would almost certainly get too close to my lights (200W). This way I can keep foliage to a minimum and the stretch stops around 14 inches from the light. This way I can keep my VPD within a vague target area too. I find it to be a low maintenence grow as well as economical. Last one gave me around 10g dry flower per plant. I think this method is best employed with more plants in a larger tent for better yields etc but that does not suit my personal requirements. Stealth grow. lol. 😎

@Scandic, My first grows were under a single SF1000D as it was all I could afford at the time and it did its job to be fair, but I soon realised I would get better results with another 50- 100W light in the tent so I went ahead an got a Mars Hydro TS600 (neither lights are dimmable) however I had to micro manage temps and humidity. I saved up and got 2 replacement dimmable lights and used the SF and TS in this 2x2. Eventually I will replace both of these with dimmable 100W lights too. I dont know if it was the right thing to do but I have not looked back since. To keep costs and plant size down to a minimum I decided to do a 12/12 micro grow in this tent as I have Auto's in the other. I like to experiment a little. It helps me understand things better.

@Enochian, Thanks for the knowledge! Im also thinking about getting another 100W for flower.. ill probably choose the SF1000 from spider farm. Its a little more expensive than the SF1000D but its also has a better PAR output and is dimmable. :) But good to hear that the SF1000D did fine for you :)
