Actually, I'm thinking of putting a kibosh on the shelf. I was noticing something strange after I did that. The idea was to start my seeds at 12/12 in the tent with some cfl's in there supplementing some light to them. The cfl's were 6500k's and there were 2 26ers over 1 tray of seedlings, while another tray was closer to the 600. What I started noticing was the seedlings in the tray near the 600 were bending and stretching toward the cfls, no matter how close the 6 was. As time went on and I kept switching things around, I kept noticing the same thing happening. They always went for the blue cfl's. I also noticed that I was having a harder time getting them going under the HPS so anyway, I'm going back to vegging under floros at 16/8 for at least 2 weeks and no more than 4 nodes. Then it's gonna be transplant and 12/12.
By the way, I made up a new mix the other day the girls are just loving it and responding immediately after the transplant. In all I mixed up 100L and I worked out the cost at about 25 bucks. Oooh yeah baby!
Here's the mix of 2 parts coir and 1 part peat moss.
2 square foot coir (6 blocks)
1 square foot moss (1 bag)
9L Perlite
