Light thought

Hey. This is cool.

I am growing my first plant. I am planning on vegging for 10-12 weeks with a 120w blue spectrum CFL on 24/0 at first then moving to 18/6. Then when i switch to my 12/12 to flower after this period i am going to use a 200w red spectrum CFL. I was wondering if at this point it would be worth using both lights to flower to try and maximise the yield. I am growing in a closet so space is an issue thats why i opted for the 120w blue spectrum CFL to veg and didnt think there would be a need for both lights at this stage. I am also going to use LST to try and optimise the yield and i am moving it into a 10" pot when the 24/0 cycle has ended.

Any tips would be helpful

Thankee

yes more light is always better, & u dont want to transplant b4 u switch to 12/12, do it a wk or so b4 12/12. the rule of thumb is 1gal pot per ft of plant, eg: 3ft tall plant = 3gal pot (10-12")

Thanks for the help. But if i'm doing LST won't it need to be in its final pot and fully LST'd before i flower it?

Hey JCJ i found out what it was, i just got my PH meter in yesterday so i did a run off test and they were at 4.5, my question is how could they get that acidic when the only thing i put in the soil is peatmoss, vermiculite, and distilled water. Also i need to know what to buy to raise/ lower PH i didnt want to buy some thing for raiseing and lowering PH for pools cause i thought that might kill them and the garden center i went to didnt have anything.

im not sure how it can get that low, ive heard that vermiculite can change a soils ph. anyway u can go to a pet store & buy some ph up & down or get some online, dont use pool chem.

Quick Hydro Hut Test Results

Heres a shot of the diy humidifer/chiller in my hydro hut, w/ it off & on. this was a test run to see the dif between it off & on.

i let the 400w hps hut on for 20mins w/ the diy off humidifer/chiller off, to get it to the running temps & RH, which where 79.1 % 43% as u can see in pic.


heres the shot w/ the diy humidifer/chiller on (only for 10mins) & the temp dropped from 79.1 to 77.9, & the RH rised from 43% to 52% in 10mins, & would prob change more if left on longer, b/c it was still changing (77.6 & 53%) as i was shutting everything off, but i had to leave.
