Hey, I’m brand new to the forum. This is my 2nd grow, the first one didn’t turn out too well as it was my trial run and I didn’t feed the plant anything but water. This time I’ve been using a Grow A and B for about 5 weeks following the directions on the back and feeding and watering once a week. I think on my next watering I should switch to the Bloom A and B but am not sure. I’m hoping for a little bit of information from the community on anything I could be doing better or if someone sees something I may be doing wrong. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I’m growing a Dwarf Auto-Flower Strain in 3 gallon fabric pots with soil. The strain is said to have a 6 week flowering time and not grow higher than 18 inches. I have a 300 watt LED for lighting running on 18/6 and am currently using a 2x2x4 grow tent. My temperature is around 70F with lights on and 65F with lights off. Humidity is currently at 57%RH and my dehumidifier comes on at 62.5%RH. I think it’s only ever come on once. My water after nutrients have been added is 5.9 with the pH pen. I’ve grown from feminized seeds which I believe finished germinating 5 weeks ago. I plan to keep the lights on 18/6 for the flowering period as they’re an auto-flower, but am not quite sure. Thanks for reading my post and I look forward to any feedback. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Wait till they start budding. Just looked at pics. If its in soil id say yeah give some bloom there heading that way for sure.
Ok, good to know. I've read of people adding Grow and Bloom in the early stages of flowering. Any thoughts on whether I should switch completely over to Bloom or continue to use Grow also?
is the 300W actual draw or what the company just advertises the light? if you want to increase yield in the future you have to mainly increase your light output
The light is the 300W LED Grow Light Full Spectrum by Vivosun. It has 4.5/5 Stars on Amazon with 244 ratings. It says Power: 300 Watts Power Draw: 135W±3% HID Replacement: 250W HPS/MH LED Quantities: 60pcs Diodes Daisy Chain: 7 LED lights
ok so it is 135W . The 300W is inflated, which is what they all do. I have Viparspectra 600 and the actual power is about 240. Consider Quantum Boards going forward if you ever purchase another light
Hey just an update on my progress. Just wondering if I should harvest pretty quick or wait a bit longer. I think I may be in the 4th week of flowering, I’m not too sure. From the pictures does anyone have any input on when I should harvest? Any info is always appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
