Should I dunk my plant in soapy water before moving indoor?

Re sell it if you can't return it. There are a lot of people on RIU that would love to have one. I understand you want all the top gear. I'm the same when it comes to satellite systems. I've bought stuff just because it looked cool but I doubt I'll ever use haha. You obviously want to learn about this "hobby" and to be honest it doesn't seem like your growing for profit. The device is a cool item and in the right system it would be invaluable but is not good at all for an autopot system.

I just contacted the seller AGAIN and they're taking it back! Phew...! You dig me, bro... :D
If I'd posted here a month ago, I wouldn't have bought a third of the things I bought. BUT I'm sharing the expenses with my buddy, so I don't mind experimenting with this a little. Besides, most of the items I bought (except for the pH doser which I'm getting a refund for and the nutez and additives) can be used in the house; (De)Humidifier, 85 liter pots, and... that's it!) I like to research about everything I do. I'm a nerd, if you will. And I really enjoyed asking you guys questions and the fact that you answered almost all of my questions the best way you could. I felt comfortable doing that. Thank you very much for the spirit of generosity that you guys have. I AM taking all your advice and what you're telling me is shaping and fine-tuning the crude knowledge of the grow that I'd researched online. I never realized I was asking the same question, but maybe a different aspect of the same topic, so if I seemed repetative, I apologize. That wasn't my intention. Anyway, I've set up the whole thing and I'm waiting for the fan+filter to arrive. Hopefully in a week or so. :smile::wink:

Some people just need things repeated to them so that it sticks. I'll help anyone if I'm able to do so. My 1st grow I had a couple of seeds and I just banged them in the dirt. Watered them and let them do there thing. I've found the best way to learn is to try and do something. Start simple then make your way up the ladder learning more as you go.
At least you got it eventually.
Good luck with your grow mate and pop back if any problems.

This is the setup and the plants. Plus, I rescued the seeds I'd put in the rockwool cubes by transferring them to a couple of cotton pads. The roots are growing again! :) they were in the cubes for four das or maybe more.

The look healthy. Just try not to over think stuff and let them do there thing.
Your setup looks fine. Maybe later on in the grow when you flip to 12/12 add a 2nd light.

Another light like the one I already have?
Click to expand...
Yes mate. More light = healthier plants = more yield.
What is the actual wattage of the light??
I run 3 different makes of blurple lights that pull 600w at the wall
Meizhi 600w (actual draw 260w)
Yaetek 600w (actual draw 225w)
Chinese 1000w (actual draw 110w)

Your grow area looks sweet. I'd definitely supplement the light when you start flowering though. Add a 600 to push you closer to 600w draw at the wall or maybe some cheap led strips to get a bit light on the sides.
Your tent looks way better than mine ever has done haha

It really depends on what your willing to pay. If cash is not an issue buy a quantum board or some Samsung strips. We have a member here on RIU who runs a business selling diy led grow lights. Contact him and see what he suggests. Tell him the tent size. Your current light and you require a set up to run alongside it. He will work out what will work best for you.

I'm sharing some pictures of my setup and plants. Please take a look and tell me what you think.

Its been 15 days since I repotted the big plant and moved it inside. It's grown taller almost twice its size and has become much bushier. What stage is it in?20180613_002433-1512x2016.jpg 20180613_001432-1512x2016.jpg 20180613_003032-1512x2016.jpg 20180613_001435-1512x2016.jpg 20180613_001526-1512x2016.jpg 20180613_001519-1512x2016.jpg 20180613_001450-1512x2016.jpg 20180613_000945-1512x2016.jpg

I've started given her half a dose bloom+micro plus some grow and 1-2 ml of voodoo juice to boost root development. How should I feed her going forward?

Is there anything you'd change regarding the the position or direction of the fans?

Any other tips or advice?

Thank you.

Sorry mate. I no longer use RIU. It's not a friendly place to spend any time and it's full of bullying wankers.
Your plants look mint now. Keep increasing your nutrient levels until you see some tips burn then back off slightly.
The plant will let you know if it doesn't like something your doing.
I commented today as I've helped you from the start but I won't be coming back again to RIU. I frequent overgrow.com now and it's a much more relaxed and helpful forum where people are a lot more helpful. Good luck with your plant.
Keep it green.

If your plant is still young, the moving and soap water are ok. Very very light soap. Not sure what ratio I use but just enough till I see a few bubbles. Only use Neem during veg. Your "1800watt" LED is probably more like 200-400w from the wall. Put your hand up to the light and slowly pull your hand away from the center down toward your plant. You'll feel heat on your hand for about 8-12 inches. Keep the top of your plant just below this "heat zone". I usually run my leds no more than 12-18 inches.

Yes, that's right, a very little soap water will be fine for young plants.
