Default Nutes for a 12/12 Grow
QUESTION I get a lot on 12/12 feedings

So at what day would you suggest using the grow big? Do you stop using it when you start the tiger bloom? My plants look like runts compared to yours at day nine. I have yet to use any nutes. I was always told to wait for the second week but after looking at yours I know to follow your advice.

Day 1
mix as follows:

1 gallon water
10ml to 15ml Grow Big

every water

.................................................

day 14ish
mix as follows:

do the above water

then every other time do this mix:

1 gallon water
15ml Grow Big
1/2 tsp Open Sesame

(this will force flowers to show sooner)

.................................................. ...............

the day sex shows or a few days early at day 21 start the first FoxFarm mix

1 gallon of water
10ml of Tiger Bloom
10 ml of Big Bloom
1/2 tsp of Open Sesame

then evey other tim h2o only

...........................................

2 week later switch to

1 gallon water
10ml Grow Big
10ml Tiger Bloom
15ml Big Bloom
1/2 tsp of Beastie Bloomz (some grower use this for Open Sesame) I don't know what happens if you do.

Give this ever other time

then h2o only the off water.

.................................................. ...

Then in two weeks

switch the nute mix to the following:

1 gallon water
10ml Tiger Bloom
15ml Big Bloom
1/2 tsp of Cha Ching

Give this ever other time

then h2o only the off water.

.................................................. ....

after two more weeks just h2o untill harvest in 1 - 2 weeks

note opptional: apple juice or some other stuff like clearX can be used the last few days as a flush to get rid of any last nutes.

also at this time the leaves will yellow and fall off. Just like the trees in tour yard at fall.

Default T-12 Lighting
A t-12 set up is cheap and works.

I have this set up I use from time to time.



They can grow into it for a few hours to a day they stay cool.

My set up is (4) 24" T-12's 20 watts each at 6500k it's a light blanket.

I also have some 2600ish k's (don't use but may add to my hps room for some side lights).
These thing may be old school but you can not f--- it up.

what up randy, GREAT JOURNALS man!!!! ++Rep to ya! you taught me a lot! Anyway, what do u think about using two 4' 8 bulb each HO T5 fluorecsent 3000k warm red bulb systems for entire flowering cycle??? (@ 5000 lumens ea bulb, using 16 blubs total, that would equal out to 80,000 lumens, which is also equivilent to a 600HPS, (80,000-90,000 lumens) I also wanna get six 4' single strip HO T5's, (warm red also) and lay those on the floor parallel to the plants in each row for additional side & underneath lighting..this will add an additional 30,000 lumens for a total of 110,000 lumens!!! [[i know, i know, @ 54 watts a bulb x 22 bulbs = 1,188 watts...which is more than a 1000HPS, effiency wise the 1000Hps would be smarter choice and get more lumens, (140,000) but remember HEAT & FLIR is what i am trying to avoid right now!!!!]] which is the main reason for using this type set-up...I am trying to have the lowest radiant heat emmiting in my grow tent, (56" x 56" x 78.75") growing 20-25 autos in 3 gallon bags that will be in my garage! (btw i live in hot ass S. Fla. the summer is approaching) and yes, i know HPS is better, and I know how to cool the lights, ect, ect, but security is #1 priority where I am currently livin, and i want to go with a 600HPS or 1000HPS but to cool the light, run ducting, ect is too much for now, plus I will still be using garage to park a car, and i dont want anybody to see ducting all over the place....
