Hi growers,this is my first attempt to grow some good smoke. The bb went in soil 21.1-11,and the ak47 22.1-11. Im keeping the ph at 6.3 now,i transplanted them yesterday from plastik cups into 6.5l potts003.jpg004.jpg,i think they are realy small compared to other autos at the same age and in same cups? Maybe they will take off soon now that they have good root space and new soil? (fox farm ocean forest)
Tips and all comments are sure welcome:weed:
The pictures was taken yesterday.

14" distance from plant to LED is good says tha ad of the light. Im starting to think that the 250w cfl i have would be better for vegging than the LED? they are so tiny..

I have grown with Lighthouse LED's in the past, however not the Blackstar's. I usually used the 2010 UFO model to veg and supplemented with two 26W daylight CFL's. Auto's tend to stay small though, so the Blackstar may be doing just fine, need more time to find out. Currently I'm trying the 2010 UFO on top of a White Dwarf auto in an Aerogarden just as an experiment. The Dwarf stayed small for quite a while.

Good luck, with your grow.

im currently growing with blackstar so +rep to you for taking a huge leap of faith and grabbing a 240w out the gate to try. You can place your unit 12 inches without worries of bleaching. For veg i would suggest supplementing with daylight cfl's to keep your plants from getting leggy. Mine legged out just a bit because i did not keep a better eye on them. You will love your results and almost 0 heat from the led units. I will be grabbing 3-4 240w units to stuff in my 4x4 tent so its gonna be pretty intense in there lol. I'm subbed bro lets see where this takes us..... When my lights come back on i will bring you some pics of my current setup where i was testing out the 100w blackstar with quite a bit of cfl supplimentation because of the use on 3 plants.

Thanks for input gonnagro:) i saw a auto grow with cfl's here and them was way bigger than mine even tough they where at same age,but i guess i have to give them some more time to see what the LED can do. Im gonna buy some moore auto seeds very soon,any advise on where its best to buy?

A ok,then i will put them closer to the panel,as for mine,they have streched almost nothing,i will get two small daylight cfl's on monday,its not enough space for my newly recived 250w cfl 6500k in there. I gotta say that the panel develops some heat,but i can sure hold my hand on the panel without burning my hand. i look forward to see some pictures of yours man:) Soon a secret jardin 150x150x200cm tent will arrive along with a 400w hps/mh kit.

yah i want to get that 3 pack they have and grow nirvana white widow on a light cycle while i leave 3-4 autos in there too since the photo period means nothing to them and i can veg out my regs while my autos are flowering so that i get all the light they can take. your gonna love your jardin tent..... nothing but top quality imo. My only gripe with mine is that the vent panels make it a security issue..... im gonna have to Velcro them on the inside of my tent so that when im out its completely secure. I lock all the zipper panels so honestly unless you cut it open then you have no way to know what is in there. (i apartment grow) I'm moving soon though and will be getting a place with an office or a HUGE closet and i will have a deadbolt on it so it wont really matter anymore. I have a huge safe that i keep most of my tools and product in so that no one stumbles upon my wares. Next grow I'm hoping to pull 10 zips. This is my first indoor grow so with 3 plants i would be ecstatic to get 3 solid ounces but im not going to hold my breath. whats your yield goal outta these two ladies? oh and list up your intended nute schedules and whatnot so we can get this thread poppin and alive.

your friends know you grow? i really hope you didnt make that mistake. I felt the waters like 4 months before i started growing by saying to 2 people that i was thinking about it...... i got hit up by 3 people that day asking if i had weed............... Now i have a strict no one knows policy. its too risky. oh btw check out my grow log in the sig i just updated it. started out cfl only now its combined led cfl.

Same as i was thinking,i will constantly keep my autobox with 2-3 plants,and when i start my tentgrow with regular strains maybe 2-3 there to. Good to know about the velcro u will put on inside your tent for me later on my tent:) I also live in a rent-apartment but hoping soon to buy myself a house..Well,i will be happy if i get 20g of good smoke out of them total.
When it comes to nutes,i have been told that i probably can give a little amount of the topmax in about 4 weeks,i also have the advanced nutrients "mother earth tea" and a bottle of bat-guano ecstract.

im in the same boat saving for a house..... if i get this promo at work that i interviewed for yesterday i could be house shopping this time next year so fingers crossed. If that happens I'm setting up the 4x4 tent as veg and a larger one for flower..... looking to pay the mortgage off maybe? lol but anyway im using only tiger bloom on my babies and worked them up to full strength every feeding now with molasses and they just suck up the nutes without any problems. if you train them with 1/4 at first every other then second week you do 1/2 after that i did 1/4 on both waterings, then 1/2 every time and finally they accept full strength every feeding now. I feel my buds will be fantastic after seeing the growth as of lately.... havent looked at them in 2 light cycles so im sure my buds growth has EXPLODED since i looked at them. I think i finally found that dial in point where i dont really worry about my plants anymore.
