I recommend 24 watts from seed till she sprouts and the seed pops off the little girl.
Then once you have some decent roots you can veg at any watt given the light is not to close. ( use your hand over the plants to judge)
Looking awesome man!
One thing I must ask, did you drill drainage holes in the buckets?
I would put atleast 6 in the bottom of each. One in the middle five around the edge.
Everything used is the correct amperage.
I am confused but happy that the past two times I have turned it on it has worked for me, Knock on wood.
I think it may have had to do with me turning on my ballast when it was dimmed to 50% and then didn't realize it was not on 100% when I tried to turn...
The ballast has power going to it but for example it took me all day trying to get it going just plugging it in and unplugging it.
I made sure to wait 10-20 min when I unplugged it before I tried again.
I practically gave up and tried just before dinner and it worked right away no warm up even..
My 1000 watt grow light sometimes doesn't turn on.
I just had my 3 week old plants sleep for 12 hours I am worried they might flower early.
Also does anyone else have this issue with there light?
I have a fusion bright dimmable ballast. And HPS 1000 watt bulb
