Jack22started grow question 5 years ago

Hello grow masters! I would like to ask you if mh 250w and hps 250w are good for veg (the fist one) and flower (the second one) in my 80x80x170. I would appreciate some opinions and advices about my 3 ladies too. Remind that this if my first indoor grow so don't be bad with me!

Lol, I won't be bad with you. First and foremost, your first grow has a great start and everything looks good. As for the lamp, I do believe that a 250w would be enough to propagate these girls and the footprint would be adequate, but may not necessarily being the girls to their full potential. A single 400-600w MH/HPS may serve you better in this space. Adding an additional 250w or other equivalent may help your grow far better. I am curious about the light specs though. Is it a double ended HPS/MH? What is the PAR rating at their recommended heights? Also, what do they advertise their veg and bloom footprint as, and at what height? If you need, hit me up in PM and we can shoot the poop a bit more. For now, I always like to see another response from another user to verify my opinion. Weay have conflicting info. Anywho, cheers and good luck! Maybe talk with you soon👍

Yes the mh have more blue so it's good for veg and the hps have more red which are good for the flowering stage. Tips: -If you want short plants put the hps when the plant are flowering just after the stretch -If you want tall plants then use the hps sooner

Hi @Jack22 the lights seem ideal for the size of your grow. I've done several crops with 250w hps and the results were good. Hps heats up a lot, you will need to have a powerful air extractor, at least 500m3 / H power to have good temperature. good luck mate 👍🙏

yea they are. i guess you could maybe go bigger (e.g. 400W) but you would definitely need a cool tube to try and keep the temperatures down. not much to say with ur plants they look fine and healthy. only thing i spotted is that your daytime temperature is 20. id probably try keep it a slight notch higher around something like 24*C

Plant Topped Itself at 3rd node? Stress or mutation/morphology?This plant split into two shoot apical meristems at 3rd node, I think? Is this due to stress, or a plant morphology/mutation? Pic 1 = weeks before pic 2. Pic 2 = 3rd node & 2 stems. Pic 3 = strain name.

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?

How tall will they grow to be?How tall will these outdoor untrained, soil based photoperiod plants grow to be (best rough guess)? I believe they're a sativa-dominant Sour strain (either Ultra Sour or S.A.G.E and Sour bag-seed). Currently over 1 meter tall from soil at 60 days old in 7 Gallon pot.

Do you lower light intensity and temps towards the end of flower?So I’m in mid flower, start of week 7 to be exact. I’m curious on when you guys start pulling back light intensity and going with a little cooler temps. I’m running a 240W S33 from AC infinity in a 3x3. Should I be going strictly off of PAR or VPD at this point.

How many plants in a 70x70x160cm tent with 100W?Hello, I have a grow tent kit 2x2 with a 100W 301H EVO Spider Farmer light. I have put there three 11L pots. But now I realize the size/light of my tent might not be enough. Could I manage by adding an additional 60W lamp you reckon or is it best to discard at least 1 plant? Thx
