  1. im using a 30 litre rubbermaid tote. i have two 50 watt LEDs they are 660/630/425 and are 2011 lighthouse hydro. also have one 26 watt 2700k cfl bulb in there had more but temps were too high.

    pics are from day 13

    they are under 12/12 because they are finishing in the tote.

    temps float around 74-78 and humidity is 37-40%

  6. well i felt the soil and im assuming i overwatered it.. just gonna see what happens i guess.

    would transplanting it help do you guys think?
     
  7. do you have any holes in the bottom of the cups ?
    can you get them any closer to the leds ?

    today i added a plant to the grow box i started the germination last night usin paper towel method. i woke up and it was ready so i got a cup of FFoF and put it in the soil. this bagseed was from better weed and was also grown b4 by a friend smelled really skunky during veg.

    im starting this seed under 12/12 light schedule
     
  10. I have always found this to be a sign of over watering not under watering. Plants will begin to wilt when under watered. Wait for the soil to dry completely between watering.
     
  11. day 17

    just an update on the plant. also i saw one tiny flying bug in my growbox today, i think it was a gnat

  13. im just curious but what was the point in putting the, on the 12/12 cycle. Are you just trying to get these plants done with? Or are you really going for bud? And if you are looking to harvest bud from these plant how much were you thinking of getting? What do you think of the L.E.D lights? sorry for all the questions just curious.

  18. i was thinking about getting mollases tomorrow morning and using that in my next feed
     
  19. 12/12 isnt a big deal since outdoor plants get 12/12 pretty much if im not mistaken. looks good man
     
  20. Do you plan on doing any type of training? Even if u go 12/12 it will help increase your yield. :smoking:

    Edit: Well, not including topping or fimming during 12/12!
