Hard to say what you will end up getting. The 2 maui plants are a good size so they should yeild at least 3 oz each i would think. Make sure u dont treat the sunsine mix as soil because its not, its basically a hydro medium like coco. Plants are looking healthy keep it up.

What do you mean by that? I kind of do treat it like soil lol. I underfeed and I wait to water until they're dry... I hope I can pull at least 3/4 a lb off everything

You want to water it like a soil but feed it and ph more like a hydro drain to waste. SSM#4 has only a small starter charge of nutes. Its a coco base soiless medium.

Why do you wait to water until they are dry? Keep the medium moist wet/dry cycles are bad.

Craig is giving good advice as well ph your water to 5.8 in soiless and add 1/4 cup dolomite lime per gallon of medium.

No idea about your nutrients as I don't use fox farm I use dyna-gro 9-3-6 it has complete nutrition. Start at quarter strength feeding and gradually work up to full strength.

Well I can't add 1/4 cup dolomite lime to the medium now that they're growing? Ill have to go to the grow shop again, get some lime and pH down, should I use the strips to test pH or?

What is the cal mag exactly and what's it used for? What should I do to test the pH? I have a pH tester for soil with two prongs but that's it.

Dont mess around with strips, i can stand the liquid either. Get a decent ph pen. I found one on ebay wirh a replaceable probe for under $25. You want an accurate way to check ph.

Cool, I'll look into it now. Being its cold here, and my setup is in the basement, I have a heater with a thermostate keeping it at 62 while the lights are off. Do you think this is running up my electric? Its a 1500w quartz heater.

Yeah that 1500w heater will pull more power than anything else in there. Get a Kill-a-watt and you will see how much running a heater for 12 hours costs. But you do want is needed. Ac kills me in the summer even without a garden inside.

I have the heater set on low at 63. Really want to get this as electric efficient as possible. What is the cal mag BTW? I seen some at the shop last week.
