Equivalent. I wish I could run more, haha, just don't have the outlets. I have one more bulb and fixture just no place to put it right now. I may move the plants around so that I can put the light in, just need to find one more extension. Your plant is gorgeous at 5 weeks! This is my first LST too, I actually like it a lot.

So amazed at these plants specially lily. She is growing about a inch a day. She is 9 inches tall and 8 1/2 inches wide smells so good i am getting really excited. This is definitely a fun learning experiment i didn't think i was going to get this far but with the help of these forums and the people i feel more confident thanks again to everyone for your input keep it coming.

Ok so i think Lily is looking good but a bit worried about the skunk which seems droppy the past 2 days and leaves are light green not dark green like Lily. Hope all is well guess I'll find out.

They look just fine to me. How often do you water?

Water them every 3 days

what a great day! Lily has shown her true self today throwing 6 pistiles oh yea!!!! So happy and excited the skunk is looking male not sure yet but will soon im sure but that's ok cuz i still got Lily!

Are you using any nutes?

Nope just distiled water

I know its your first grow...but look into nutes. FoxFarm has some good ones. spendy but they last. I'm using FF Sesame for flowering, you wont regret it.

Im going to get bc starter kit for next grow with my dwc setup saving up for everything now looks like it will cost me about 60 bucks for a 3 bucket dwc with nutes rockwool all the good stuff. This is just a practice run to get me ready for next grow.

I did just use some mg fertilizer and it burned lily a bit so no more of that

why you using distilled whats wrong with your tap? with the distilled your plant are getting no food cuz the ppm of the water is 0 or close to most of the time. mix that with not feeding your plants are gonna have all sorts of probs. also do you have lime in your mix? if not you will most likely have to supplement cal/mag cuz your water contains none.

Well so far she loves what i am giving her growing big and strong need a ph kit getting one today ill check my ph and let you know what it is i use distilled water cuz someone told me it was better and my plants loved it.

Getting so pumped lily is 1 foot 2 inches tall and 1 foot wide! About 10 pistiles so far man this is the fun part watching her change and really grow starting to think wife was right on how much lily will produce.

Here is Lily gave her super bloom and she lovesloves it i guess after i gave it to her she thru all these flowers yey
