First Time Grow

I've built a 7'x7'x8' Room for my Veg, and a 7'x14'x8' for my Flower. My Veg room has a 2'x4' Ebb & Flow trey in it. I'm using R/O water, H&G Aqua A/B, H&G Drip Clean, Great White, and H&G Root Excelleraters. I transplanted Clones into 6"x6" Buckets in Hydroton. My water temps are 68-69, Canopy temp is around 75, and I keep my humidity between 50-60. I use neem oil, and lady bugs to help keep the mites in check. I keep my pH between 5.8-6.0, and 3 weeks in my ppm is ~820. My light in this room is a 8 bulb T5. I run my lights 24/0, and I water 15min every hour.

My flower room, consists of 2 Ebb & Grow systems, and 6000w of lights. Each light has 4 buckets under it. The room is sealed, has co2, and environmentally controlled.

As I said this is my first time growing. I'm looking to veg my plants until they are between 22-24" tall, then transplant them into the Flower room. I have a few of my plants that are growing faster then the others, I'm considering topping them or even doing some stress training. I'm looking for any advice or input into my first grow. Thank you

hello zensai me personely i would change it up a little first off by given the plants some time to rest so to speak by giving them 18/6hours of dark second i would change ur veg lighting to maybe a 250 matile halide light make sure u get a good reflector with it that could stop the outer plants from reaching them t5s(which i have 1 myself) i think are best with the little guys(cuttings)and again this is how i would do it id veg up to 18inch then flip to 12/12 but like i keep saying thats how i would do it GOODLUCK MATE

there sesems to be alot of debate that 24/0 produce slightly faster results then 18/6 and that a rest peroid isn't needed. Whats wrong with the T5 vs going to a MH 250? I can always move the T5 higher if they reach for it.

thats wat im saying if there reachin for the light it needs to be closer that y i prefer the 25o m/h and 24/0 vrs 18/6 is p for debate i think 18/6 is more natral tho

I used Mh for years, this is my first grow with T5's and I keep the light about 10" from the canopy and they are doing great.


As for the on off cycle 18/6. 24/0 for clones till they root.

Yea I dont believe my plants are stretching under the T5. I was basically just looking for some questions / comments about my grow. As I've stated this is my first grow, and I'll be flipping them into flower shortly.

I figured I would post a update of my first grow, I just moved them into my flower room.

nice grow... subbed
