a lot of glue

@Sumgrower420, ;)

@Oldguy, I have been looking at this series. A little spendy but you get what you pay for. Thabks for the information. 😎

@Sumgrower420, Advanced Platinum Series P300 300w 12-band LED Grow Light - DUAL VEG/FLOWER FULL SPECTRUM. This is an awesome light. Highly recommend it.

@phistowarrior024, I agree with you that I don't think it would be a problem. Since i mostly grow auto flowers, I have had some bad experiences with doing nutrients too early. Some of that could have been the learning curve, but I have been trying to make the process easier and easier. By using a "hotter" soil, delaying the nutrients a little and reducing the light schedule to 18/6(and this is just my belief here), I am putting the plants in a less stressful situation. There is a lot of great work out there(and on this site) by guys with great experience really pushing the plants to get great yields and super dense nuggets. With that though comes more possible problems and the need to really recognize what is going on with the plants so that they don't stress out. I am coming from the angle that a lot of folks don't have that experience yet or maybe don't want to get that deep into the whole process. I am trying to present a process that works for me that is simpler and easier to replicate. If you grow for yourself then you want good quality not necessarily great quantity. Hope that helps. BTW, there are great diaries here with some of those guys sharing exactly how much and when, so for those who want to go there just find your favorite grower. follow along, and copy his/her techniques. That is what I am going to do on my next one....if I get to that is. :)

@Sumgrower420, thx. I t is my first time using these nutes. I think I like them pretty good so far. Normally with the autos I use half strength because they burn so easily, but these don't seem to. I use a "hot" soil so I usually don't start adding nutes until after week 4. I think these would have been good to start with right away. So far, at least on the "simple" schedule, I think they look pretty easy to use and you would really have to go hard to burn the plants. You really have to watch the ph because they bring it way down, but only take about 1/2 tablespoon/gallon to raise it to 6. Overall I recommend so far.

@Tenacious_Trichomes, thx. man....so far so good.

@Sumgrower420, thanks and ask away.

2'x2.5'=5 sq. feet. So, 1 plant/sq. ft. you are right it will be tight. Tight in a good way....I hope. ;)

Thanks for the welcome and happy growing to you as well. Then again, everyday growing medicine is a happy day. :)
