Its just compost m8 nothing fancy i got told its ok untill i transplant as it already has nutes in n cheers pal ile be deffo putting in more suitable medium
So Olly you think we don't know what we're doing hmmm lol400w HPS is great for flowering up to 4 plants 2 - 3' tall ( yes - more light better result ) BUT that's a lil plant and it sure looks like it wanted to grow great. Daylight bulb fluorescent (HO T5 great T8 about as good w/less power and heat).
I vegged under HPS and keeping the plant compact is hard - start them in fluorescent, maybe finish a few weeks of VEG w/HPS - I recommend U look online at AG related paper's and studies like from Universities and such. You are going to get overwhelmed with BAD information on mineral/amendments and watering HERE. Truthfully I get great result with historically known farming traditions like earthworm castings (U can make for free at home BTW) and other natural amendments. Maybe you will learn from your mistakes the important thing is understanding what you did or not do to create a mistake.
well, what are your night temperatures?also near the end of 18 hr temps are going from 76 to 85f is this ok or should i maybe run light at night as i dont want temps to plummet to harshly
Yeah best thing you can do then is switch to night light like Bareback.Yes thats measured at canopy top and when i go to bed i got the heating on a timer to kick in after lights as its like -1c outside i have it on 65f
some very bad advice . you can veg with any spectrum you want and switch them from 6500 or what a lot of us use today 7200k . and throw a 2700 k hps on top of the plant . there will NOT be any stress to the plants . as long as the time of day is steady 24/7 or 18 /6 no harm . this is done a lot with my friends . and a lot of people veg with hps with great results .Is it ok to switch from hps to cfl in veg as ive been told hps isnt suitable for veg only flower or will this stress plant
I have used hps from start to finish . It's not perfect but it works. The worst part for me was the stretch and the heat .Is it ok to switch from hps to cfl in veg as ive been told hps isnt suitable for veg only flower or will this stress plant
