I’m using it now and I use half the strength. Tried the feed schedule provided by them on one grow and burned the heck out of the girls. Switched to have strength and haven’t had any issues. Don’t follow that silly flush at certain intervals either. Just water in between feedings and you’ll be good.

Depending on what soil you are using it will have enough nutrients in it for the 1st 3-5 weeks. You won't need nutes until the soil is wasted.

im using happy frog mixed with ocean forest i heard thats enough for 4 weeks too but how long does it take for the roots to spread? i have 2 week sprouts in 10g and feel like they might be able to go a little longer

You should be good for a while. Would have been better to go to a 1.5 then a 3 then a 5 then a 10.
It allows you to keep adding fresh soil for nutes for damn near all of veg.
You will need to water carefully with a plant that small in a pot that big.

yeah i heard about that in another question i asked but i only water it a very little bit about the diameter of the plant. and im hoping to pull 3 oz each plant with 3 plants under a 250w light im just not sure when to move it to bud i cant eyeball it wuite yet

yes im using a 4x8 tent but im planning on only using half and getting another 1200w led to pit in there when they are bigger in veg. will that extra 4 ft steal some light? or should i be fine if theyre over the plants

don't waste your time and money with the cheap "1200" watt lights. Get a cheap 600watt-1000watt hps setup. Should only cost a tiny bit more. If you're gonna do LED get the real Full spectrum and spend the money

ive seen someone grow 200 grams with just a single plant and 1 600w led light that only 150w. i like led because they dont heat my room up im in CAli! So at night it does get pretty cold but in the day it can hit 80 already so id rather stick with leds itll take 4 1200w to fill up my room right now but

I'm in nor cal. My plan for this winter is to run the lights from 9pm until 3pm during veg and 9pm-9am during flower.
This counteracts the evening temp drops and settles in to the day time temps for lights out.
Just a thought for ya.
