Here's what im running in a 4x8x11 room. 2 600 watt HPS with aircooled hoods and can fan exhausting the air from the hoods and the room out into another room.
Plants are Purple Diesel and Grape Ape in 12"x 12" pots in FF Happy frog and my nutrients are Gen hydro Flora grow/micro/bloom floralicious plus, Koolbloom, and Blackstrap molasses.
i dont currently have a PH meter which im going to buy ASAP so i use a few drops of PH down every time i water. I follow the GH simple drain to waste schedule from start to finish and flush before switch to 12/12 and 4 weeks into flower and before harvest. now ive realized that ive most likely over fed in the past because i would feed almost every watering which i know is bad and causes salt build up which i had a problem with.
But with the lights i have and the soil and nutrients i use i feel like my plants should be huge. but they are nothing compared to what i see others with a similar set up as mine. Am i missing nutrients? or adding too much? or should i completely drop the GH and pick up something new?
My last harvest is just now smokable and it tastes pretty great. very good for back pain indeed. but my buds just dont look as big as i feel they should.
Also what about techniques in veg to make em bushy. also how big should i let them go in veg before i put into flower? the plants i just harvested were about 2' wide and 2' tall.
one plants got an ounce and 3/4 and the other got 2 and 1/4. but even without CO2 enrichment i feel like i should be able to pull 1/4 lbs off each plant at least.
Any questions, comments, Q tips?
Thanks all.
