oh nice i've heard good things about those starter plugs, i want to get this cloning thing down soon im going to give either those plugs a try or riot cubes
little clones seem to take as well as larger ones & you dont have to trim the leaves i trim because it gives me clearance in the egg cartons those root riot style plugs are my first choice & have given me a very high success rate & ive tried a lot of things with varying degrees of success but those have been best 4 me i grow in rockwool so as i get roots i advance my babies to rockwool blocks & its then i increase to 2 cfls i dont keep a mother plant i just clone from what im growing & kind of veg them under the cfl's until i harvest then they advance to my growroom & veg 10-14 days then i turn the light back i did 3 grows with a htg. 400 light like yours then my harvests financed a 600w. with air cooled hood & i built my e&f [3x3] out of common stuff it takes a while to find your groove this is the only hobby i ever had that pays for itself by x-mas i should be up to 1000w. & 4x4 e&f tray [which i already have] i recently bought someone out & got nutes ,the trays & 1000w ballast heres some pics of my pineapple chunk when they were babies & my new 4x4 trays [new to me] & pic of plants in room are current crop when i started them & the 3x3 tray i made gonna have to move a wall to install the 4x4 1000w. upgrade
the 400 was pretty good to me first 2 grows were under 1/4 lb but my last grow [bc mango] was a little over 5 oz. i used 3 gal. pots & home depot supersoil that already had food in it then i used schultz liquid bloom food with 5% nitrogen I vegged about a month [until plants are 20-22'' tall] i used lemon juice to adjust ph. on water & unsulphered molasses even though i do the hydro grows i have my outdoor stuff in dirt ive been growing indoors for a little over a year now & i love it i get countless hours of enjoyment fooling with my plants & its nice when your finishing out a grow & can see the fruits of your labor & you dont know whats possible until you try i ended up doing the e&f method in rockwool because thats what works for me & i choose to use rockwool because its low maintenance i also use drain to waste feeding schedule as you dont have to maintain a reservoir & the nutes that drain off my tub are diluted & fed to my babies anything left is put on my outdoor plants then my fruit trees & lawn here is a pic of my best outdoor plant
Thank you. But all the difference is probably just the light. I have grown with cfl's a couple times and they seem to take a little longer to grow.
I am going to watch for that closely because I think I might leave the light a little to close sometimes already for not having it cooled, and would hate to come home to all my ladies being smoked Without me!!! I'll try and keep it trained as much as possible.

Bad mouthing shmad mouthing. I say fuck those "haters". I thumbed through this and your harvest looks good enough to me. Don't let anyone tell you about the PC. It's fucking good dope to boot; all about the hands it's in. And you're totally correct. There's a lot worse you can grow but you didn't grow it. You keep enjoying what you do and keep the neigh sayers in the dirt. Rock that 400. -HMD
