http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBoCGewxaR4&feature=youtube_gdata_player


Now my thing is am I doing it right?
I'm using happy frog soil, 2-24 watt 2foot t5 h0 6500k blue,& 150 watt grow light fixture (hps) they are 3ft above clones all same strain by the way(pure kush) They are in a 3'x3'x74" grow tent. Now today I gave them dyno grow because I was told too.not 100%sure if I was suppose too.

UPDATE!!!! I am using fans now in video I didn't have none.
Any helpful tips would be grate.
YES I AM A FIRST TIME GROWER NOOB I GUESS YOU CAN CALL IT LOL..
THANKS IN A MILLION ADVANCES

Move the lights much closer, all looks well besides that. I used to have a 150 4in from the top of the canopy. That light can do good work, when placed appropriately. Make sure temps are between 75 and 88 at the tops of your grow and move it according.

that looks like a really nice setup how much did that tent cost. everything looks good but are the clones rooted yet if not then maybe back those lights off a little more. if they are rooted you could probably put those lights closer unless you have a heat issue. and the soil your using has nutes in it so they shouldnt need any extra nutes for like the first 2-4 weeks.

Thanks rollupmikey my only concern is if I move both lights closer will it burn my plants? Because I was told by the guy at the hydrophonic store to keep both lights 3-4 feet away. My temp in tent is always 75. I will update with new video tomorrow close ups and surroundings. Also I have this problem with a few plants they just started to show yellow tips I checked my ph and it comes out to 6.1 I water them every other day but spraw water on them once a day? Am I doing anything wrong? Sorry rollupmikey and others who respond to my noob questions

Little k I actually found it online for $95 bucks free shipping. Planning on getting another for flowering.
I purchased the clones at a clinic. Had nice white roots..

Look for a 5.8 in soil, regardless... The guy at the hydro store is talking about mass amounts of light and heat usually coming from something like a non cooled 1000 watt. They're there to sell the big boys and have very little knowledge of 150's. Once your girls root hard and begin flowering into the 2nd week range, close is key. Too close can cause damage because THC starts degrading at 90/95+. Play with it... But anything 10in+ for a 150 is lost light=lost buds.

So rollupmikey I should lower them closer? How many inches would you recommend from your veteran experience? Also seeing they are 3 inches was it ok to give them dyno grow?

All my 150+CFL grows were from San Jose club clone grows. I know LA/SD clones dont differ much. I'd put about 6 inches in between and slowly play with the outcome after watching day by day. Send a private message and I'll break it down through text or aim

Move the light much closer. Here is my 4x4 tent running a 600w atm. I have my light about 12" from my plants. You really need to move those lights closer. The fluoros can almost be touching your plants and keep the HPS ~6inches from the top, closer if they don't show heat stress.

Agreed^ gastanker. Wow being on my phone blows.

I can't pm rollupmikey I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post my email but here it goes and will go from there.

Thanks gastanker real nice set up. I will move them closer and keep a close eye on them. As for water how can I go about this? I just watered them today. How much water for each plant and how often?

Not sure where my last post went. Anyways yea I can't pm for some odd reason.I will update my video with my set up with closer images and so on. I just lowered the lights the fluoros are right above my plants.the 150 is about 7" above my plants.
As for water. I just watered them but I'm stuck on how to water them. I do it every other day. I spray them with water daily good or bad? How much water per plant?
I hate being a noob

How often and how much depends on the grow medium, your plant, the humidity and temp. Wait for it to dry real well before each watering. Best method I have found is to pour some soil into a pot, wet it down real well, wait several days till it is just barely damp (very crumbly and pretty dry but not forming clods). At this point pick it up, carry it around, get real familiar with the weight of the pot with the soil in this condition. Water till it runs out the bottom and then wait till once again it is the same weight as before. Number one mistake I see new growers making (myself included now and then) is over watering.

When starting your nutes start off at LOW strength. I some times start with 1/10th of the recommended minimum dosage and slowly step it up each watering so I can closely monitor that there is no nutrient burn.

//edit. Just looking at it I would guess 2 cups every 4 days or a cup every 2-3 days.

No worries, I'm online now. Water them when the top soil feels dry at least 1-2 inches below the top man.. you're gonna need bigger pots and more happy frog:]. 7 inches is great about now for the 150, but the tubes can be moved within 2 inches. I recommended keeping them at about 5 to evenly distribute the light over the others as well. Keep the spraying down to a minimum, and spray earlier on when the lights first come on. If you spray in the middle of the day and the water sits there, the water acts like a magnifying glass on your leaves and will burn the leaves/make them crispy. I also recommend 1/2 liter per plant. You always wanna completely saturate the soil, then LET DRY. Saturate, then LET DRY. It gives the roots a chance to search for water/nutrients/air, and also grow bigger while doing so.

A happy root system makes for promising plant growth above soil.

Ok will do gastanker but I will load a new video tomorrow with close ups and we can take it from there.
Also I am planning to buy another tent similar to the one I have for flowering what do you guys think? Bigger?smaller?others?

Nice rollupmikey I just did everything you guys told me thanks...I'll keep you guys updated and bug with questions if I run into a problem jk

Get another space, whether tent or not.... But look to get another in search of having a perpetual grow going on. 1 room for vegging mother plants/clones, and another for flowering. that way after a little while you can harvest 1 female every week. Continually harvest 1 female, and put another clone into flowering. Space provided, 4-6 flowering females can output what you're looking for.

I ran a 4x4x6 and a 4x8x6 at the same time. One veg and the other flower and it worked out alright.

You ran all that room for Veg?
Was your grow perpetual, and if so.. how often?
