my elec with that same setup is 1k/3 months. went up $600

I am in melbourne australia, i have just finished a harvest mid summer i understand those higher temps you have. However im happy to leave my tents at around 23-30 celsius i dont find it irritates my plants too much. As for your humidity, youll need to run a cool tube or air cooled light keep...

nah mate thats fine, i usually let them get to that before planting. just not good for the seed to be left inside water for more than 36 hours, as you risk rotting the seed. I use paper towel next to either xbox fan or PC fan for 2 days or so and find them that size when i check.

hehe i use 2x 135W CFL's for seedlings/clones they are plenty powerful enough to get about 10 seedlings going, i could probibly use less but i hate having to give special attention to the stragglers hehe.

i also just use the shoots coming off my main budsites, 20cm would be massive for what im used to.

i can't garentee they will sprout because you didnt germinate them. Generally you germinate the seed to get a faster progression, however ive had a minor hermie that ive harvested and a seed must have fallen into the pot i was using down the side. As i harvested i noticed it growing. The light...

Putting them all in the same pot isnt the greatest idea, since cannabis roots tend to shoot for the bottom then expand outwards. might be ok if you remove them within a few days of sprouting but just keep it in mind. What globe are you running? looks like HPS. For seedlings they dont need to be...

Are you sure that those CFL globes you mention actually disperse 42 true watts? Or is it just equiv to 42W, common mistake by new growers trying to find cheap gear.

no you cannot wait too long, only problem being if your growing in a grow tent your plants will outgrow your height allocation easily. In your case i would personally trim all the bud sites furthest from the light because they will never amount to anything worth growing, to could also choose to...

you can use a flowering globe for veg + flower but using a veging globe for flowering isnt going to give you anything near the product you could have.

those red stems whats the go with that? Are you maintaining your temps/humidity?

if i was you, i would have had a look at some 150W cfls. You could use 2x 135W CFL lights (which i use for seedlings) the whole way through your grow.

hehe youll be riught

i would suggest you feed twice during lights on and once at lights out. think of it this way, when your at the beach would you be happy with no water/drink for 18 hours and then just drink for 6 hours before bed? or would you prefer to be properly hydrated throughout the day?

Was sort of hoping he meant that hes feeding every 8 hours or so.

if you put in good work during the training/screening or install a 600W instead i really dont think youll struggle to pull closer to 1/2 a lb+. 1g/W really isnt that un-achievable, there are people on these forums who pull 2-3g/W. Aim high my friend!

well just increase it gradually, do you have a feed chart from the brand of nutrients you are using? When i bought my nutrients from my local hydro store they gave me a feed chart for every weeks progress, my first grow i used the nutrients a little leaner than recommended so ididnt see the...

You should get something to measure EC as PPM measurements arnt so accurate, things that come from your tapwater can put your PPM to around 450 naturall though thats some pretty harsh tapwater but its possible. Electro conductivity will give you a better reading for how much feed your plants are...

you should get a humidity dome even a cheap one from a garden/hydro supplier even hardware store. Try cloning in rockwool or soil before you try in that enviroment. the plant cannot uptake nutrients through its ''root system'' yet as it doesnt have one, all you can do is foliar spray the leaves...

your PPM should be around 1400 at this stage. Or attleast thats what i run in coco not sure if its different in clay. But 650 seems awfully low considering the pebbles dont really retain the feed.
