Germination went well. Wet Paper towels from the start. 50 Hours later I Put them into a Soil Mix, in the pots they are in here. This would be day 6 from when I put them into the paper towels. Not to sure how long I'm going to use the 125 CFL s before I switch to a 600w HPS with adjustable power on the ballast. Any Advice would be welcomed!! =D
Old School outdoor Grower. First time indoor Grow, first time using tents. Any and all advice along this way is welcomed.
Some questions I have now are...
1. When should I switch form my CFL lights to my HPS's
2. Should I think about switching from HPS to LED's?
Hi !
Ik geef even mee wat ik denk🙂
1 : Ik vind CFL lampjes goed voor de groei te begeleiden, niet geschikt voor de bloei.
Ik zou verkiezen om de omschakeling te doen als je naar bloeiperiode overgaat.
2 : Tegenwoordig word er inderdaad veel gewerkt met LED.
Het is veel energiezuiniger, wat niet onbelangrijk is, zeker als je gewend bent om buiten te kweken.
Het word niet te warm, wat ik ook een groot voordeel vind.
Tenslotte gaan de lampen langer mee.
Als je voor LED zou kiezen investeer dan wel in een goede lamp met voldoende watt.
HPS lampen zijn natuurlijk de old skool keuze😉
Ze zijn goedkoper, maar hebben een grotere kracht (al is een kwalitatieve LED lamp tegenwoordig ook niet te onderschatten!).
Wel kunnen ze best warm worden, waardoor je op moet gaan letten in je tent.
Én ze verbruiken best wel veel tegenover een LED.
Ik zou dus de overstap durven maken naar LED, als je het budget hebt om een deftige lamp aan te kopen.
Ik hoop dat ik kon helpen🙂
Veel succes met je eerste binnenkweek!🌱
Little girls are looking a lot taller today. Will post a new week in 3 days. But as they are growing so fast and I'm still using 125 CFL, How much distance between bulb/reflector and plants should I keep.?? I will be switching to a HPS at some stage,
So this is Day 14.
I Was unhappy using the CFL bulbs, as they were causing the girls to lean inward towards the light.
I got myself a 200w LED.
In picture one and two you can see this plant had a little yellow curl on the first Leaf. In the same area where the seed left on for a bit.
Third picture is the worst of the 4.
Fourth and Fifth picture was the one who was leaning the most, I used a piece of material that was in the soil to prop her up.
Now that I'm using the LED there will be no more leaning. Looking forward to the next week of growth. =D
The Girls have really Grown up fast. The Orange Sherbet are a lot taller and leaves are thinner and longer. The WC are little short girls But still growing at the same speed.
Start of the week, the leave were all curled downward. Was a little worried. Changed up their Water to once per day right when they wake up and a bit more than Normal, and the next day they were 'right as rain'. =D
The tap water in my area is really Bad. I was using Mineral water with 7.0 PH. But they require a lot more at the moment. Going to try collecting rain water maybe or get myself a RO filter. Any recommendations would be welcomed.! =D
The last week I started using a 200W LED with adjust. Started at 60% at 16'', now running 100% at 20''. Will lower to 18'' in a few days, just don't want to Nuke it while the WC are still a lot smaller than the OS.
So I post this up a few days late. 3 survived the Nitrogen and overwatering damage, Lost the smallest wedding cake. They seemed to hald their growth Upwards, so I have the LED on 100% and brought it up to 22 inches. The yellow leaves at the Bottom have me a bit worried. I think its a result from the damage from last week, But im not to sure, any help would be welcomed. =D
So Pretty Wild Week. Tuesday and Wednesday they started looking a bit worse. Yellow leaves and curled down. I used a 3% 1:1 Hydrogen Peroxide-Water solution , then another watering Saturday and they Look way better. Still not 100%. But the Growth has come back and they Responded well to the Second Watering.
So this week they are looking good. Still showing Nitrogen Burns, But they are growing through the feed in the soil. Got the watering times and amounts forted out (I think =P) Overall they seem Like Happy Campers. Very Nice smell already.
So the Soils still seems to be feeding the plants. No extra feed has been added. Flower is starting to Produce Crystals. Small is Amazing, Not long Now. =D
