I would be careful with them when small. Very light on nutes until you have a few nodes going and looking good. I don't give full veg nutes until 1 to 2 weeks under veg lights.
Dont worry this is my first hydo setup. Im home in soil but i thought lets try something different. I almost lost everything about a week ago. My timer had a glich and missed a couple water cycles and plants looked gone but they came back.Thats just in one day. Some of the leafs were damaged in...
Give a couple days and you should be ready for transplant, just keep the mh about 2 to 3 feet at first. Wait for growth and you could lower light a bit.
If the roots are 1/4 inch or more out of rockwool transplant if you wait too long, roots may get damaged. Broken during transplant. Will shock plant and stunt growth. Not sure how strong light is, to advise distance and if ready yet.
At least im not the only one living in low light. My bill in 4 bd house is only about 150. I use 1000whps,400w hps, 2 ebb n flows, 4 fans, 3 cfl 42w for clone and mother. 747 cfm exhaust fan. Whats up my fellow moles.
I do hand water in the fragile stage. I also use pots in my ebb n flow which isn't the way it was designed but it works for me i use 2 gallon square pots with holes in bottom. 1 gallon per foot is kind of rule of thumb. I went with pot because the top gets so heavy they can fall over and pull...
The end product looks good to me. I have a friend that grows with all homemade stuff, kiddy pool, stuff like that. Good lights and vent but everything else cheap. Turns out some amazing buds. Keep it up. I'd watch your video.:twisted:
If power is an issue change out bulbs in your place for more energy efficient ones. LIke 19 w or whatever. I live like a mole but i sleep good at night knowing i have a low bill for what i use.
I would go 24hr with the meter. If its not growing very fast its too close. I use clones so as soon as they can be put into bigger rockwool i go 24 hr. About 10 to 14 days and thats clones, seedlings are alittle more fragile. i haven't grown from seed in a long time. Good luck man. :twisted:
Check your trics (crystals) are they standing straight up? Are they clear? If they have changed color to be more hazy that is a good sign if you are done. If they are yellow they have gone too long pull them.:twisted:
I would keep aleast 3 feet away at first. When you see some good growth drop it to like 2 feet. When there little the stong light is just as bad as heat. I go 24hr till flower. It just speeds up your veg time. 3 weeks at 18/6 378hrs, 3 weeks at 24hrs 504 hrs.:twisted:
