I had some issues with humidity levels (too low) in my first week, ordered a humidifier. Now it's ok, keeping it around 65%.

For now i am growing in a closet (tent with carbon filter coming next week) and had issues controlling the humidity levels which at times rose to almost 90%. Therefore i put the humidifier outside, near the closet. Much better. I am a bit surprised that the are smelling already! I started to notice a weak smell around day 10/11 from sprouting. It's getting a little stronger every day.

Everything seems ok, putting them closer to the lights slowly. Will start nutrients with the next watering. Should have filled the pots with more soil, some of the lower leaves don't have a lot of space since the plant is bushy, but that shouldn't be a problem. Learning as i go. Moved them in the tent. I was overwatering, since the soil took too much time to dry and some algae appeared. Removed them and will water less from now on. Put my Viparspectra V450 on full spectrum today (day 19). Used only the veg switch until now, probably not the best idea, i think full spectrum all the way is better. I hope to see a more rapid growth from now on. Started LST on day 18, seems to work. I hope i didn't damage the plants.

Hello fellow growers, what is your opinion on the Veg/Bloom switches? Does it make sense to use only the Veg switch for a couple of weeks or do you think that full spectrum all the way is better? I have the Viparspectra V450.

Use Veg for week 1-4 then flip to full spectrum.

@Removed Hi mate I am also using a Viparspectra 450w and during veg I had it on veg but at full power worked really well Then only switched over to bloom once I saw the preflowers (white pistils) I definately notice a more red orientated colouring in the bloom setting which is what you want. Hope Ive answered your question

In veg, i would use veg switch only, why? Because while the plants are small they only need a fraction of the light that they need while in bloom. In bloom use full spectrum, since the more watts you use the bigger the yield.

Hi @@tatofumi! I'd go full spectrum, more light = more yield! Happy growing 👊

Hey @DILLIGAF : profiles like this one that read "removed" have basically been either removed by GD or by the user for whatever reason - just a heads up !
