I would go 18/6 gives time for root growth and time to sleep, but I would do 24/0 if you are haveing cold issuses though.any one? should I go 24 hour cycle or what!!!!!
If your plant is auto-flowering you want to have a steady 18/6 or 20/4 light cycle from seed to harvest. If your plant is not auto-flowering you want to use 18/6 or 20/4 light cycle for vegetative stage; once you want your plant to start budding, you can make it do so by switching it to a 12/12 light cycle. Hope this helps.any one? should I go 24 hour cycle or what!!!!!
Ideal water ph should be between 6.3 and 6.9, you may want to just go out and get distilled water because it will be 7.0 ph which is just fine. As for watering, just water it as you think you should, don't drench the plant because that will suffocate the roots. You should usually water every 2-3 days or when the soil is dry. You can tell if the soil is dry by pushing your finger into the soil about 2 inches. BE CAREFUL OF THE ROOTS! If the soil on the average feels dry, water it. If it is nice and moist, dont water it.how much should i water it
Are you talking about the root hormone? I believe clones can begin to root without a root hormone if the "moss stuff" wasn't a root hormone, but if it was or wasn't, the cutting is good to be placed right in the soil.Dude thanks so much i have some distilled so ill use that also when i got the clone it hand like that weird moss stuff dont really know what to call it so i left that on and just put the whole thing in the soil is this ok just want to make sure
When you say 100W I am assuming you mean 100W equivalents, which would mean that they are 26W each. If i were you I would get some more of those but 3 is fine if you dont have the cash. Also, If you really have the cash to spend (It wont cost a whole lot), head over to home depot and get a set of 6500k (Color tempurature, it will usually be called "cool white", just ask an employee or something if it doesnt say on the box) lights for your vegetative stage. I would recommend 4 6500ks for veg and 4 2400ks (soft white) for flower. Also, If you can put up some mylar coating on those walls, some windshield heat reflectors from Autozone will do just fine.Hey guys in the pics i posted those are the soft white 100w cfls is this ok? or should i get something brighter? help please
Your good for the rest of your grow dudeOk just got back from HD and got the 6500ks i dont have the money right now for mylar or to go to AZ anything eles i can use?
Haha, i hear you man, if you ever have any questions just shoot em to me on this forum i got it subscribed.thanks man you have been the most help so far im really excited about my first grow i just want to do good.
