was up guys, this my first grow. i have some black berry seeds, ocean forest soil, the trio nutrients, and plan on getting a 400w mh/hps light but cant figure out ifi need a grow tent or to just let it grow freely under the light
You don't necissarialy need a grow tent, however it will help greatly with temperature and humidity regulation. It will also act as a sort of bug barrier since you are growing in soil. If you decide to opt out of the tent make sure you find somewhere that you can keep at aleast 40% humidity and 70degF for optimal growth. A grow tent may not be worthwile however if you have a closet that you can foil the walls in and keep at semi consisntent conditions.was up guys, this my first grow. i have some black berry seeds, ocean forest soil, the trio nutrients, and plan on getting a 400w mh/hps light but cant figure out ifi need a grow tent or to just let it grow freely under the light
He speaks troof. Might add some bloom nutes the last 2 waterings before flush, but can do well with none for sure. Your call."this my first grow. i have some black berry seeds"
mmm i love blackberries. be careful you don't get hurt on those thorns!
Suggest a healthy environment for the plants. Be sure your ventilation is adequate, and lightproof for the flowering cycle to have a secure 12 darkness period. Humidity and Temps don't have to be perfect, but they are easier controlled if you can adjust your exhaust speed.
I would also recommend not using ANY extra nutrients with FFOF. I use it all the time, and even cut it down with soil less mix. FFOF can provide your plants with everything it needs, just add water.
Ya bigger is better in terms of the cfl. Those little ones are ok for the first couple weeks but if you want to flower youll need much larger ones and a few of them.Thanks for the replies. But I decided to just Wing one seed in open space. I want to get a cfl light. Does it have to be a certain watt equivalent or does it have to be a certain watt not equivalent
Check htg supply. They have decent gear.What website offers the best grow tent and all in one light
Lol my first grow is fully hydro xD and is doing just fineYa bigger is better in terms of the cfl. Those little ones are ok for the first couple weeks but if you want to flower youll need much larger ones and a few of them.
The one piece of advice that will get you farther than any posted above is, read and research. Asking to be spoon fed leaves you at the mercy of the advice given to you.
For example, the advice to not go with ffof on your first grow and go soiless in my opinion is crazy. That would mean that being a noob your expected to know the proper feed, and dosage to feed your plant at every stage of development. Pffffff....youll mess it up. On the other hand, ffof will allow you to not have to touch a fertilizer bottle for the first month or more and then use lower than recommended doses after that since the soil has lots of nutrients already in it. Thats easy growing. Letting the soil grow the plants, not the nutrients. Read kid. Find out for yourself, dont trust internet banter.
I would go for a 1m x 1m x 2m tent. Perfect for a 400W, check out my grow journal at the moment, im using a 600w in that space at the moment doing a one plant scrog. You will need to sus out an exhaust fan and filter if you don't want it smelling out the house.At the moment all I have is an open closet way with a load of clothes. So a tent may be the route to go. What size would you guys prefer for three plants?
