but as for colour spectrum dual bulbs ok bt better changing bulbs and getting fuull wattage of light you need at time . i use mostly 6400k for veg with 1 small 2700k bulb. then opposite for flower get way better results than dual spectrum.
i grow with bio bizz and cfl 300w is enough for two plants as longs as you dont have them in a huge space but buds wont be meaty ,more fluffy, push up to 400w you will see a difference.
when i started out i used household bulbs to keep babys alive until i could afford equipment .work with what u have and add as u go .this hobby is a never ending money pit. but good
Im doing a organic dinafem amnesia auto grow.haha just started thought was time i did a journal . no experience in auto,s but thought was good experiment for a journal .
i drop my seeds root down in the medium as soon as root shows unless they grow fast over night .don,t damaged them that way 10ml max so can handle seed part only easily ..
try leaving the cuttings rooting in a humid box or tub or under clear plaastic until they root ,then slowly bit by bit uncover them (harding off). all clones need is humidity to survive .
looks good min. keep lights nice and close do the burn test with your hand hold it between bulb and plant if you burn plant will lol. sub,d . ive started a cfl organic auto grow haha .should be interesting .im going no extraction .co2 enrichment .with fan for air circulation only .
as a temp estimate for yo i ph with lemon juice 5ml per litre takes water from ph 8 to 6.5. so lets say your water is 7 if you used 5ml lemon juice would take it to 5.5 . i rough it and ph water alitlle until you get a ph tester .
maybe a sterile hermie that happens quite often in a naturaly occuring hermie ..id still be tempted to grow it out .see if it does make pollen .the bud could be amazing . stranger things have happened
