How long did you veg these for and how much have you improved harvest weight compared to when you used just the 400 watt?

And comparing using just 400 w with using 1000w is night and day difference.
Simply asking because i was thinking for 1000watts should be pushing out more than an estimated 12oz even from short veg of 3 weeks.

Something must be tinkered with to get more yeild under 1000watts surely.

Sorry but I'd be asking myself a question or 2.

That's an obvious yes.

4 to 5 would be better for more growth but even so its 1000watts and around 600g at least would be my expectation.

It's a lot of expense in electric which has much more potential for sure.

Like veg time?
Just reread your (EDIT - OPs) very first post when you say that you have passive cold air and you never let the temps go above 25.

I'd be aiming higher in flower at around 27 to 29 and minimum off light temp of around 22 23.

May not seem much but they like a little cooking and at 25 in flower they might only just be ok

Also I think your 11ltr pots were too big for your 3 week veg plants, their root system will not have filled the pot size.

Very dark green too going into flower and during, too much nutes.

I'd look into that expensive soil you're using too.

none of this applies to my garden. I think you got me and the op mixed up.

They make a Natural one and a semi natural one. Its has all the elements the plant needs. I like it very simple product. Oh okay thats cool on the Royal Queen. I like your simple set up. Enjoy the smoke!
Hey this thread it’s super old but it’s worth a shot, I use Mr. B’s for flower but I’m about to reuse my soil and amend it with Mr. B’s veg formula. Do I need to pH my water this time around? The first time with just my soil I didn’t have to, I just watered the whole way through and top dressed when I got into flower. I’m just wondering if the mt bs nutrients will take care of everything for me or if I need to adjust the ph when I reuse the soil.
