  1. So, I'm pretty new to this. I've helped friends in the past.. So this is my first setup. 8x2x15 1000w mh/hps it's on a light rail mover, dimible ballast . Phresh carbon filter. Smart pots. I'm using coir for substrate. I've germed, lost a couple, germed some more. Now I have three going strong with more to come.. Any advice?

  2. nice. theyre going to grow like crazy under that source of energy. move the pots a bit closer to the light for now
     
  3. See, I had jus moved it off of them a lil to.. I have the light dimmed down 50% and its like 4feet off of them..
     
  4. i only suggested it becuase theyre stretching. theres not wrong with them stretching, theyre just positioning themseleves how they like to the light source
     
  5. 7 days in and going well.
     
  6. Nicee. Do you plan yo transplant? That one guy looks a little pale. Maybe give him some plant food?
     
  7. Yea I plan on doing it tonight. I'm putting them in 5gallon smart pots. Yea that one that's really light is weird she was the one that took along time to germ I thought it was a dud but my girl said keep it another day or so. It ended sprouting a tap root.. But now she looks like this.. Maybe jus a weak plant. They r all on a feeding schedule already. I think she's jus off.. No worries though.. I'm setting up a tent next week. Going to do 10 auto flowers. 5 dinafem white widow, 5 g13 Pineapple Express..
     
  8. how do you feed?
     
  9. Well since I'm in coco.. I'm basically running a drain to waste.. So I'm using general hydroponics synthetic nutrient flora duo it's a 2 part. Right now I'm adding a teaspoon of each per gallon every watering. Which is basically every 48 hours now intill I repot. I've been taken advice from a fellow blade and doing my research, and I've had fantastic results so far..
     
  10. In coco I guess once root system is established over feeding is basically impossible.. So I saturate evenly till there's run off then jus let them dry out. Which is taking about 48 hours. Once I repot I'm hoping I only have to feed 2 a week.
     
  11. So I topped 3 of them on the 26th here are some close ups of new growth

    And these 2 haven't been topped yet I'm letting them grow up a node higher then other 3 being that they where smaller then the others..
