4 weeks into flower do they look ok

View attachment 2837017 about 4 weeks in any good any tips or help plz should buds be bigger

looks fine, next time use bigger pots and better soil

dunno your watering schedule and what kind of water you use ? but when you water your plants you should give em a good amount so you see a bit of run off from the bottom drain hole`s and then give em a bit of time to dry out agin

do you use any kind of nutrients and what kind if ?

Looks average for a four week flowering period.

was a budget start up grow will get bigger pots next time. my white widow one in biggest pot is that too small also
only used a little tomato feed upto now 2 times with tap water
was going to buy ionic boost or bloom tommorow. is it too late for that?

average thats ok then they have had a bit of a hard life as one came from outside was eaten by slugs and everything was spaced out as was hid behind bush and they had to deal with a house move also. and not had proper nutes yet

bought some ionic bloom today and a ph test kit after i add nutes 6.0ph

6 is actualy a bit low for soil, would be kind a perfect for coco

bigger pots = bigger root net = bigger plants = bigger yield so to speak, you of course also have too do your part = keep as close to optimal conditions for the plant`s


but your of to a good start, keep reading, researching and learning

thanks when checked my water ph was 8.0 so if i keep feed ph at 6.0 will this help lower my soil ph,

also if i bought ionic boost can i use 4 days after bloom with next watering each time or am i best just using bloom and boost together ?

im using a 600w grolux sylvia bulb is this good or should i get another not sure how much use its had was a bargain tho carboot sale £10 for bulb, reflector, light fitting and powerpack

ahh ok then 6 is probably fine (if your sure your medium is 8 ?)

dunno about your nutrients, try google but in most cases, less is more

and I used the 600W sylvia myself with good results before I got the LED panels, as a rule of thump a bulb will last you 4-5 grows ( a year) so I would for sure look in to a replacement bulb, even a budget bulb is better then a warn out bulb, the budget bulb might just last you less grows and might blow on you before a Etc Philips Sylvia

Ooh yea, and if you got the $ get a few, sucks to blow a bulb in the middle of flowering and then have to wait 2 day for a replacement, tho you could use that one you have now as a back up, no matter what I wouldn't like to "wast" my time and money to grow under a bulb I was`t sure of

a few pictures of me measuring the Lumens output of my 600W sylvia bulb with my "cheap" light meter




+7K Lumens a ft away and around 5K at the top of my plant`s (got it even close after I got a cool hood on it, could also get them perfect temps under 80F)

thanks ill get a new one should i stick with the dual or get one just for flower phaze ?

plants look nice how old were they and what strain

thanks for chart didnt realise could have them so far away i have mine about 10- 12 inch away

not sure what my medium is just a guess as i bin giving them water of 8.0 ph for from start not realising

if you plan to use the HPS from start to finish I would go for a dual arc bulb with some more blue in it

the strain is LSD from Barney´s at about week 5 I believe

and try to aim for a PH around 6,5 when growing in soil

ok next time mite get cfl for veg to save money on electric bill the saving could help pay for better things i may need, does a hps bulb meant for flower make a big diffrence? or is the dual just as good

hi watered with feed at 6.5 ph checked run off was about 7.5 if i used tesco bottled water for a week of 5.5 ph would this sort this

Lookin nice, Welcome to RiU.
