(hold your hand under the light, if its too hot for your hand then its too hot for your plants) i keep my 1000W HPS about 1.5-2 feet away (maybe a little farther during flowering to keep the buds from getting too hot)
also Fox farm big bloom? I havent used this but isnt this a nutrient you use more during flowering? not for vegging? help me on this one

no kiddin man, i did not ever hear that before about constant wind on stems opposed to osscillating.... seems damn logical though, good input

treebeard smoke , heres my first grow as well first grow ever! bagseed :0 you cansee what i did to the closet in the begginning and it might give you a good idea

Fox farm big bloom is to be used throughout. While vegging and flowering till the last week to flush everything out. Its what i've been told?

And yeah, the yellowing, I think it was because of the light. I added water plus a tiny bit of the big bloom equally to all of the plants. 200ml each. the OG was right underneath the light in the middle, it wilted but adding water helped it a lot. the plant next to that; the WHITE W had a tiny yellowing.

I'm going to look for an oscilating fan.

I have another Q. Ive looked on here about PH and I still feel slightly lost. Do you check PH in the water you use? Or PH in the soil? Or both..




ALSO, HUGE thanks to you guys helping with words. I'll keep this journal up to date with photo's and info. I'm really stoked on the OG and WW. Those are the ones that make my eyes glimmer. haha.. Also, my lease is up at the end of March. Would vegging for only 2 weeks plus a few days be dumb to do?
I keep hearing 3-4 weeks to vegge.

you have soil ph tsters and water ones

you should find out what your waters ph is without any nutes added, then add your nutes, take another reading.... if it between 6-7 you can call yourself good to go

test the ph of your water before adding it, then test the ph of your soil afterwards to ensure its right. If your soil is WAY out you may need to flush
3-4 weeks vegging is optimal but you can flower at any time if I'm not mistaken

you can have them on 12/12 from seed and once they get SEXUALLY MATURE , then they will bud out, its all on how long it takes em to get mature when they will bud, everything that i have seen and read leads me to think that 4-5 weeks veg is around the time your babies will get sexually mature and if you put em in flower before that then you are just not allowing them as much light as you could get them if you leave them in veg lights until sexually mature.

Ok, cool. I think i'm going to do 2 weeks plus a day or two of vegging.

I'm going to try and get that fan tomorrow. I'm thinking of getting something like this, http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/...92&marketID=21
Putting that above by the lights to blow down, and setting up a small computer fan down to blow out the door. Would that work okay?
