So i switched bulbs to my 400 watt AgroMax Hps bulb and switched to 12/12 again...I'm sick of waiting to see what my bigger plant becomes...male/female? In another week or so, we shall see.

In other news, I'm going to set up my Jump Start fluorescent light system and germination station...I'll post pics later when finished...i'm going to germ 3 big bud female seeds from Ministry of Cannabis in 1 1/2" rock wool.

Here's some pics to give you an idea of the products i'm using...

hey man, and welcom aboard! Glad you got interest in growing...hopefully i can assist you along...for the potting soil, i just plopped the seeds into MG potting soil (bad mistake) but they grew anyway...there's no way of knowing how much nutes is being released every watering when using MG soil...

get a seed starting mix...its like sphagnum peat moss/vermiculite/perlite mix...all inert (no nutritional value/pH balanced). start those under fluoro's and keep them about 3" away from over the humidity dome...

How old are your seedlings now? They're slow to grow at first...then after like 3 weeks old they go into heavy veg period growing quickly...
leave them under fluoros until they're about 3 weeks old and then u can put em under your new 400 watt'r for more veg...:peace:

I like what you got going here, im running something similar. cover your res. and completely keep the light out. it can cause root rot and algae. not good. just some advice. :) You got alot of stuff going here . gonna get crazy. do you plan on LSTing your bubble plants? im a beginner as well. so not all pro or anything. interested in your methods and how this turns out. Subscribed. :)
