3 gallon..... is that soil ok dude...?what size are fabric pots ?
do u think i should switch to the 400w hps soon...?what size are fabric pots ?
it drains well, that's a good start, fabric will be great as you less likely to over water3 gallon..... is that soil ok dude...?
yer you will have to when there in 3 gallon potsdo u think i should switch to the 400w hps soon...?
so maybe look for new soil....? i might use the fabric pots as have standard pots anyway... all are 3 gallon in size....it drains well, that's a good start, fabric will be great as you less likely to over water
bad points for a new grower
its rich in nutes and feeds the plants upto 5 weeks
its going to take the plant 2-3 weeks to fill the pots with roots
and there probably enough nutes to last the plants another 2 weeks after that
just have no ideal what level of npk are but this is very hot compost !!
( google it and it says "It is suitable for heavy feeding vegetables")
why not do a couple in each?so maybe look for new soil....? i might use the fabric pots as have standard pots anyway... all are 3 gallon in size....
i just have 3 plants right now.....why not do a couple in each?
i have this soil at home...got it few wks ago... not sure about drainage tho....http://www.woodiesdiy.com/Product/growise-mulitpurpose-compost-with-john-innes-56lt/34067/4.4.3yer you will have to when there in 3 gallon pots
looked at it again and dont think it be suitable..... it holds in moisture.....i have this soil at home...got it few wks ago... not sure about drainage tho....http://www.woodiesdiy.com/Product/growise-mulitpurpose-compost-with-john-innes-56lt/34067/4.4.3
because he over water his seedling and killed them, just what to keep things simple this runwhy not do a couple in each?
the heat is more stable now since i got the humidifier... keeping average of 24c hum around 55.... i have them in the grow rent.... so cold not really a issue anymore dude....you said it very cold where the plants are, so i would use a powerful fan to remove heat between the canopy and the mh, keep a close eye on the canopy temp directly below the hood in the center level with the canopy as you may get the hood 6-8 above above the canopy and this will give you great results
my 600w hps is sitting 10" above the canopy but my room is very cold, directly below the hood in the center level with the canopy is 26c, edge of the canopy the temps drop to 18c and 4 ft away from the plants its 9c lol
i have a 10lt of perlite coming during the wk dude....(call me frank) nearly all the soil i was looking at today have nutrients for up to 5 wks.....lesart00 did you get any more perlite as this would really help your plants get extra air in the root mass
may want to do a test run for a few hours with the humidifier and mh in the tent, see what the temps work out as ( if its 24c now whats it going to be like with the mh in the tent ? )the heat is more stable now since i got the humidifier... keeping average of 24c hum around 55.... i have them in the grow rent.... so cold not really a issue anymore dude....
when i had the 400w hps the tem is 26c-28c with a good fan....so temp is well under control....may want to do a test run for a few hours with the humidifier and mh in the tent, see what the temps work out as ( if its 24c now whats it going to be like with the mh in the tent ? )
keep the plants in the cups till you get the temps good in the tent ( because if the temps go upto 35c+ you could damage your plants)
the plants will be fine in the dark for 6 hour indoors somewhere warm
not a problem, if you don't ask i can't help youi have a 10lt of perlite coming during the wk dude....(call me frank) nearly all the soil i was looking at today have nutrients for up to 5 wks.....
thats great didn't know thatwhen i had the 400w hps the tem is 26c-28c with a good fan....so temp is well under control....
isnt that the soil i have dude....?not a problem, if you don't ask i can't help you

lots of soil has peat moss, this has a very low amount of nutes and helps the roots but does hold water but at the same time its very light
http://www.planetnatural.com/peat-vs-coir/
a little info on peat moss and how it conditions the soil
they replaced this with loam, a 3 part even mix of sand, clay and compost ( heavy mix, strong in nutes compared to peat moss)
and they called it a mature plant compost ( its for re potting larger plants)
yes i was trying to show you the problem with the soilisnt that the soil i have dude....?
