This is my set up...
1 - 175w MH
2 - 70w HPS for the Flower stage
Earth Juice : Grow - Bloom - Meta K - MicroBlast
Humidifier
PH Papers (yuck)
Yeast for CO2 (now and then)
5" net pots
Clay balls as media
Air pumps & air stones
7" clone dome, root gel, & a heat-mat
(2-4) bins-tubs (4 bins to make switching the solution easy)
A fan or 2 (one is always on the plant, but doesn't rotate)
Temps range from 69-87 deg
Humidity ranges from 30-80 Rh
I took 3 cuttings and I'll set her into flowering soon.
I used root gel in rockwool plugs under a 7" dome.
I pulled a dummy and left the dome 2 1/2 feet under the MH in the shade of the plant and the cuttings wilted and fell over... So I took new cuttings. She's on a heat-mat, out of the light, extra water in the "basin", with extra mist on the dome, on the heat-mat, & Here goes the 3'rd clone-a-round.
A lesson in fertilizer. I burned her by using a strong mix (what the bottle said) of fertilizer & also used it with every watering due to it being in a rockwool cube and all (bad idea)... some leafs look like a MIRV went off. I flushed over 3 days and she's okay.Is 140w (2-70w HPS) enough for 3 plants in the flower stage? I was thinking on adding a 400w HPS/MH setup from a website for $170ish. Then I have to deal with all that heat...
How well can this initial setup work with 3 trained plants in 5" net pots? (I'll get the tub size and room size and put em up)
Last thing, will the single plant now like both lights above or angled from the sides?
