Mc Hectors first medical grow(1000w)

so the setup is a 1000w hps from HTGsupply with a MH conversion bulb

here are the size they were on the 16th(got them on 15th)




11 days later



Im growing in foxfarms oceanforrest soil with about 25-30% perlite, for nutes im using pro blend pro and floralicious plus

let me know if you have any suggestions/see anything wrong or if you have any questions!

here they are 3 days lighter right at lights on

I didnt think they were growing much until I saw the comparison!

edit.. I also lowered the light a bit...the ducting is really making it hard for me to adjust the light..im gonna have to redo it one of these days

Aug 02

damn they are growing like crazzzzy

there are two ones that seem a bit slower though should I seperate those and give them CFL light for 6 hrs a day?

whoa .... that's like freakish green ... like the green hornet green ... like I just aged myself completely .... looking sweet ...those lil'girls they be ..... good luck with that ... I be liking to sit and watch if I may?

for sure, it looks green because of the MH light haha

do you think they are big enough for nutes? Ive been slowly feeding them botanicare pro grow

bottle says
seedling 1.5 teaspoon per gallon

I started at 1 teaspoon per gallon and fed them that gallon

then upped it to 2 teaspoons and then 2.5 teaspoons

mid size vegetative says 1 tablespoon

I've been feeding them like 18 oz at a time, but today I finally got a 5 gallon container

sooo

how intense should I go on the nutes, the full 2 tablespoons or slightly less?

also should I try and lst at all =X

hey man some great questions, ur obviously intent of getting some things organized for yourself. Nutes? in my case I started feeding my seedlings almost from day one, though rather lightly for sure. maybe a 2030% recommended strength. Yes that goes against what some say, but it works for me and I like it that way. I then gradually over several feedings per step, increase the nute concentrations to the vicinity of recommended .... and then watch the plants. All grow conditions are unique in some manner. all strains have diifferent sensitivities. All phenos do not respond the same. Watch your plants and they will tell you. the "ideal" is you gradually increase concentration until you get a slight tip burning starting on some of the leaves, and then back off a notch or two on the concentration..... and walk on!!! Try and keep both your analysis and your solutions simple. Complexities can tend to carry chaos along with them.

I figured out 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon

so the 1 tablespoon was actually one more teaspoon than they have been getting so far, so it worked out
