1000 watt closet grow

Crash1234 · Jul 28, 2012

im back out the shadows my RIU fam, I have a closet grow with ten babies. I am running 1 1000 watt hps during veg and flowering and cutting edge solutions for nutrients. Temps are 84 during day and 72 at night, not bad for not having a fan through my hood (could be better i know). This is the third day since sprouting and only day 5 total. I have some pics so please feel free to comment and let me know what you think

my third grow and first on RUI (besides posting Q&A). thanks in advance for showing love. :blsmoke:

Really no comment at all? i am going to post pics when lights go off (couple hours). They are all bagseed so we will see what happens.

Is that HPS? I was wondering what advantages there would be for vegetative growth with HPS instead of MH?

Hps will veg plants just fine

Agreed. I've done LOTS of things from start to finish with HPS. It is a bit overkill at this point and you would get the same growth out of a T5 or 250MH for much less on the power bill but you run what you have. :weed:

Scribed. I'll be around.

Photo tip... take pictures through the lens of you sunglasses to help remove the orange HPS that makes it hard to actually see real leaf coloration.

Sorry i haven't been around i have been working all day. So update temps still running good(84 day 72 night) humidity around 45%. will post pics here in a few min when i find my cam lol. thnx for the sunglasses tip will try that if i can find them. They are growing like crazy i have been feeding nutes since day 1, alot ppl say wait cause you will burn them up, but they have been thriving. I gave them water today and they loved it.

and yes a lower watt would work just as good with less $ in electric but thats all i have so..... thnx for all the comments

doogleef · Jul 29, 2012

I am just now seeing first true leaves... you are feeding already? Seedlings come prepackaged from mother nature with enough nutrients for at least a couple weeks.

Careful...

Crash1234 · Jul 30, 2012

ok so im up now and my babies are really stretching(not surprising since i am using 1000 watt hps) what can i do to maybe help prop them till they are stronger? They are ok for the most part but if they keep going i am going to have to help them out. P-S- I know you are not suppose to give them nutes when they are that young, i usually start after 5th set of leaves. They are doing really well though, no nute burn lol, they are really thriving. Fed water for last 2 days, post pics in bout 20 mins (PROMISE)

Crash1234 · Jul 30, 2012

So i just seen my electric company outside either putting something in my box are the neighbors box kinda freaked me out. Just found out i have a smart meter so...... HELP

There looking good just get a sticy that looks like a Y to help holt the stem up in 3 weeks the stem will have got thick enough to hold itself up
By the way i will be watching this thread looking good

Like most new parents you are being a bit overly protective. They are fine and should be good to go for a couple weeks with little intervention from you.

Are you watering them everyday in soil?

Crash1234 · Jul 30, 2012

Thanks everybody for the comments and reply's. I filled the soil up to the top of the pots, which covered up like 2-3 inches of stem this morning. They are more stable so...yea. If i have to i will use a stick but hopefully not i should be ok. So ill prob put pics up and also hit with more nutes if they are dried out by tomorrow. i have been feeding water past couple days and they have reacted good with nutes.

sometimes but i guess every other day i dont let them get bone dry but i dont get them sobbing wet either. its sunshine #4 mix so it coco coir, perlite and something else. really good in my opinion.
