Does foliar feeding cause problems if you do it when the lights are on?

I would think the water droplets would cause the light to burn the leaves in spots.

My father owns a lighting shop (lucky me), i went through the supply room searching for a 120watt CFL but came up blank, seems were out at the moment and wont have any in stock for quite some time, Anyway, i read that 1 120watt CFL is enough for 1 plant (all im growing) and i was wondering if it is the same using say 3 40watt CFL bulbs. does this emit the same amount of light or what?

yes it can, the water drops can act like a mag glass brning the leaves. just move them from direct light when u foliar feed for 15-20min, then put back under direct light.

awesome 4x4 will be perfect i wont even have to rip the plywood.

I found the 400 on ebay, picked it up for 30, plus 20-30 shipping, the guy hasnt got back to me yet with the final shipping. Ive seen a 1000w mh ballast go for 6 bucks, some insane prices on ebay.
For example i picked up AN 1 liter micro, grow, bloom and a free tri pack for 38 shipped to my door
Also got a 175mh i probaly couldve gotten for under 10, but i bought it now for 20, and shipping was 30 for that, and 5 bucks for a bulb too so 55 bucks for a 175mh system.
got i love ebay

\yes u can do that, & the lumens should be pretty close to a 120w. the rule of thumb is 50-100w of light or a minimum of 3500-5000 lumens per plant. youll need 2 dif color spec bulbs, 6500k for veg, & 3000-2100k for flowering, so youll need to get 3 6500k & 3 3000-2100k cfl's.

If you veg outside and then move plant inside for flowering, would the potency be the same if you did the whole process indoors?

I did a PH test on the soil, and it is 6.2. Is that fine?

If I bought a dime, and put it in an airtight jar for a week or two and attempted to cure it, would it work? Or do you have to do that RIGHT after drying?

I saw an allpurpose fertilizer with a 36-0-0 ratio. That is SUPER high in N, which is good for veg. But is this bad because it doesnt have P or K?

potency is mostly genitic, so in or out will be abou the same. soil ph needs to be 6.8, & u need to dry b4 u cure. if your fixing to flower u need a fert like 5-20-10, just an example. u want the 1st # the lowest, & 2nd# the highest. u can use human urine to feed them its high in N. i dont know the ratio, but id say 1/2 cup per gal of water. ask around or search google. look at this chart for ph & nute uptake.

Yeah I need to raise my PH I guess.
Here are the rest of the results...Im thinking they may be bad?

Nitrogen is a 5
Phosphorus is a 7.5
Potassium is a 7

Good, Bad, Ugly?

Sup all, Ive just recently got some seeds(13 seeds) from a m8 of mine and started to germ them exactly 3 days ago at this same time (4:50 am where i am).
Im using "perfect starts" as my germ method along with a small humidity dome.
After Germ i intend to transplant them to an "aerospring".
About an hour ago the tap root in one of them started to show, and is curling inside of the perfect start medium, the others are starting to show a lil but the tap roots seem to be curling around in most of them.

Is this ok? or should the tap root be facing a certain way?
Also how long should i wait till i move them to a hydro setup?

Any help is much appreciated

the curled tap roots is fine, they will grow the right way once in their medium/nute mix. id wait till the roots get a little developed b4 u move them.

Thanks jcj! That explains a lot for me. So this would be true when spraying your plants with dilluted neem also?
