I initially started this grow 3/17/09 with a few CFL's, then switched to 400 Watt MH when my system came in. Currently, I am vegging extra plants for as long as they aren't too big. Then I will take half the plants and put them in another closet with the same setup (actually it will have a better MH bulb).
The first picture is from 4-6-09. This was 4 days after the MH was setup. The next one was 4-14-09. When I compared the pictures, I was shocked. The big one in the center of the second picture is the same one as the far left one in the second row of the first picture. The tallest one now was barely 6 inches on 4-6, now its 14 inches!
Suffice to say this setup kicked the CFL's butts. When I flower, I will switch over to an agromax HPS (with enhanced blue spectrum). Most of these plants are bagseed, but the smaller ones are all genetics (haze hybrid, jock horror). I started with bagseed because I thought this would be just a small experiment. I also have a cloner coming in, so the bagseed will be the plants I will experiment with.
Any tips? Again, half of these plants will be transported to another closet. I want to start nutrients soon, should I start with a 30-15-15? When should I plan on flowering them? These plants are on average about 2 and a half weeks into veg. Also, I am concerned about roots - several of the bigger ones have roots already visible at the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. Will this cause root rot?
I appreciate your comments.
