Well, things seem to be looking good so far. Havn't really had to do to much. Been keeping pretty steay on the SCROG altho its starting to seem more lime and lst to me. I almost pulled the screen out today because i'm getting sick of having no room to work and stuff, when they are all weaved in the screen and the lights are so close. I was just thinking that if i just did an LST i would be able to pull the plants right out to work on them. I can just imagine as the plants get bigger its only gonna get harder. But i was also thinking maybe i'l just lift the screen a bit when i lift the lights. I have the screen right now sitting on top of the buckets so it doesnt leave very much roof for growth. Another problem i might run into is I want to run a perpetual but with a scrog i think it might be pretty hard because now i have my plants dedicated to where they are sitting...hmmm...Something to ponder. I wouldnt mind splitting up my closet into a veg room and a flower room. I mean really i can just keep my mother in the veg room. even my clones if i wanted to. Have you ever found a bit of mold in your soil?? I found some today, but not much. Its probably just from the moisture in the soil, but still, that cant be good can it?? it doesnt seem to be spreading to the plant and i pulled out the infected soil and threw it in the garbage.Tomorrow is feeding day and week 2 of using nutes so i was going to use the regular mixture instead of a light mixture. I Gave them 2L each last time and didnt have to water them once in between, but i think it was 2 long to have that much moisture in there. Maybe i'm wrong, i dunno, i'm no expert. Anyway maybe i will give them 1L instead of 2 and water them on the weekend if i have too.
I would definitely get some extra CFL's very soon. Ideally you want a 23-26 watt bulb within an inch of every leaf on the plant. That isn't a requirement but it's about the closest you can get to compare to HID using CFL. What you have will work but if you continue with it into flowering, you will wind up with airy and wispy buds, and a lower yield altogether.
As for how to feed your nutrient solution, you can use that one mix for all plants provided there is enough solution to water all of them in a single mix worth of water. The important thing is how concentrated your mix is, and yours is properly concentrated. All you are doing with all the extra water per plant is wasting nutrient solution. How much run off do you get when using the method you are using? It might be efficient if you don't get too much run off. Just water your pots just enough to achieve run off at the bottoms and thats enough. If you have to you can bump up the total amount of solution you mix from now on and just save the leftover solution for the next watering.
I know thats the ideal light. I plan on getting some more, its just a matter of putting em somewhere. I plan on getting an HID when this grow is over with, i just dont have the cash to put towards an entire setup atm. I mean u know how it goes. I could afford the light and ballast, but then i need to be able to cool it somehow, that costs money, in order to cool it i need some sort of ventilation. I'm not about to start cutting holes in my closet, so i would want to buy a grow tent, and so on and so forth. I just cost a shit ton. I dont know where to start lol.
I dont get any run off for some reason and i am watering them each 2L of water. It seems kin of strange to me but maybe i got really absorbant soil??? I know its a really high percentage of peat moss. But like i said earliar, i dont see it being good if the plant is damp for a week straight. I think it should dry out once at least in the one week period, mostly to prevent root rot. altho i could be wrong. Next time i will also make sure i put rocks in the bottom of my pails.
