Yo, Im just putting up a few pics of my set up, my plants and where there at now.

First my set up;
Lighting: 600W HPS (dimmable ballast, 110% lumens), was on 200W CFL untill week 3 of veg, Mantis Pro Air Cooled Reflector.
Air Flow: 6 Inch carbon filter and intake fan (in loft) desk fan
Nutes: Sensigrow A+B, Sensibloom A+B, Sensizime, Granma Enggys F1+H2
Ive also recently made a veg box to bang my 200W CLF in for seeds and cuttings.

Now my plants,I got them as 1 week old cuttings. The Strain is Kali Kush, mixed genetics of Kali Mist and OG Kush. This is the 4th week of veg now im planning to go to about 10"-15" before flowering.
Im using CoCo coir and 20L pots. Ive been feeding them daily from about week 2-3 giving them a L of water with 15%-20% run of pH'd at 6.5 (now at 5.9) with 0.5ml of Sensi grow A+B, and in the last week ive introduced them to 1ML of each and 1ML of Grandma Enggys H2. they seem to be doing okay they stressed abit when i switched lights but there perking up now.

Switched to hps just under a week ago and can see the effects. For the first day or so my plants looked a little stressed but they have got over that and now there prospering. There becoming beasts.

just let them grow. there cuttings so they seem to be some nice growth from all sides. and fairly bushy so dont feel the need to do any training although i was tempted. i think cos its my first grow i just wanna get to grips with growing the actual plant. and then on my future ones start to try out a few things. they are really starting to stink real good too..

They are looking ok.

BUT

After 4 weeks of veg they should be ALOT bigger.

Below is a pic of my clones after 3 weeks of veg and 7 days of 12/12.

IMO they are hungry.


Feed less often but at a slightly increased strength and allow the roots to search for water.

More root = bigger plants.

Are you testing your nutrient strength before you feed?

If so you'll be the best judge on how much to increase. But if say around 75ppm or 0.2EC depending upon your chosen method.

cheers for your imput. yeah. there 6 weeks into veg.. the smaller bushier of the two is standing at 1 foot tall and the taller one is 1.5 feet tall, the strain im growing is a smaller bushier strain so im not expecting great heights. althought over the last week the growth has been very noticeable.

im feeding once a day with 2.5 litres at 5.9 5.8, with 10ml of sensigrow a+b. the root mass is quite surprising as the roots have filled the tub, they have come to the top, and also i can see them through the drainage holes at the bottom.

as for ppm, i have brought a meter but havent used it. i read on a few coco bibles that ppm isnt really a must. but as from my next grow i will be using it.

cheers AK
