miracle grow 5 mll
miracle grow soil had too many nutrients, doesnt give you control, only in 1 gallon pots, i have 10 gallons here but that seems to big to jump to i might get 3 gallons but i think it would be best to finish in 5 one of them got heat burn my dad put a heater facing them and it fried, good thing i noticed quickly

3.5 weeks from seed not 4, wanted to provide an update to the other topping and fimming pics you can see them taking off! fed once, not alot but i suggest not feeding with miracle grow its rediculous soil... and i suggest 40% perlite really its arguable but both are great drainers are provide lots of oxygen flow im not pro but this isnt my first time, update: they are exactly 1 month from seed today, check the updates, fed promix rooting hormones on transplant

Take a look at nutes^^ Mad that my trellis showed up late in the mail; stuck with this canopy as i refuse to bend this late; its still a pretty solid canopy anyways trimmed some fans to expose couple more tops yesterday not too many though. Looks like i need to move the HID over to the right and throw a small LED on the left. This way i can do some testing with a couple different LED products like mars, viparspectra, or a newer one i just seen come out. let me know your thoughts; i feel like this 600w covers 4x3 nicely; and i have a 5x3 because the hood is a little small, the 1000w bulb comes with the same reflector so seemed useless to get the 1000w and expect it to cover more area. light runs cool with 6 inch 440CFM on lowest setting, i can get away with being quite close and i can hold my hand against the glass; even on superlumens setting. PHOTOS UP TMRW some photos have been uploaded 2/15/2018 3:14 pm EST feel free to give your opinion; or ask any questions relative to my grow your own and anything of that nature :)

first day week number 8 week number 4 flowering got a 5x3 box 1000w LED BESTVA LED angled at 120 degrees im using it to cover a 2x3 area on the left at 20 inchs height its giving medium par output increase on the mid section and a very low par increase on the right side of the box 600w HPS at 20 inchs above canopy on the right side covering a 3x3 area while increasing par on the left side aswell the reason im mentioning all this is because im interested in the actual coverage of these lights and can the plants handle it? im watching every day for any stress, seems like just exploding growth so far, any comments feel free to add pics are from week 8 day 2 or 4 week flower day 2 or 58 days old or 30 days into flower whatever floats your boat - there all the same hehe.

broke my old phone, couple days late to post for this week, next week will com,e earlier but as you can see its much much different after the 14 day gap. buds are stretching towards hps but fattening more under LED so food for thought; id go LED grows personally, although the coverage is a bit harder to maintain; hps breaks down more frequent ive already been through 2 bulbs; quite the hassle.

check it. no problems. not much to say lol bit molasses. Huge nugs. I water every 2 days in HUGE amounts. it's completely dry by day 2 eating 1 leaf maybe two. I feed wait water wait feed wait water wait. gonna feed wait feed wait feed wait flush because my feeds arnt stupid high doses like most people and I'm still following along the general hydroponics feeding chart drain to waste as well with theory of grow boss cal mag and bloom and theory of micros from molasses. INCREDIBLE RESULTS. I should have 10 gallon pots for these and I vegged them for a very small time.
