Hps light fitted it's around 15" away ATM the moment I'll see how that goes before I start moving it

The heater will be removed and replaced with a mini sized one if it's still needed

now sit back and watch them take off!!! i have flowered under t-5 and 400 hps and to me there is no comparison !!!

First night under the hps

 

[Swedge]

Quite a big difference on my ak47 just from one night (plant on the right)

Contactor/timer fitted

 

[devils letuce]

that looks like a good timer.. remember the plants will dry out quicker under the hps .. just do the lift test every time u enter the grow room .

 

[Swedge]

Yeah I noticed that pretty much straight away

I have a moisture meter but I usually just do the finger test

I watered yesterday with 3rd strength nutes and I've had some yellow bits on the tips on my leaves

I had this earlier on as well, I'm struggling with humidity as well only about 35 and my humidifier can't keep up

My ak leaves are slightly curling inwards from the sides

I've gave them a flush with some ph water

I've also placed a jug full of water in my tent with a rolled up towel to act as a wick with my fan blowing on it hopefully helps a bit

they will grow even though the rh is not optimal . they will just grow better in optimal range . my rh hasent dead on at all on this grow and they still look great ..

u might can put a heating mat under the pots and it might help with humidity from the moisture in the soil.. its worth a try .

 

[Swedge]

The jug full of water and towel I have placed in front of the Fan seems to be helping a bit

Update for today

That pic is 27 days from sprout

Here a pic I've just took of my ak47

Are those pistils I can see? Does that mean it will start flowering soon?

I don't like the look of my ak plants as it seems all crammed in and due to the short height of it lol

My pink diesel x amnesia hasn't got any yet but is a taller plant and actually looks better

As you can see my leaves are curling which I think is due to my low humidity

I tried using my humidifier but it couldn't keep up

Hopefully the ak stretches a bit so it's not so compact

I've put some cfl's at the sides with my DIY can reflectors on to get some light under the canopy

How much does an auto plant grow after starting flowering?

looks like i see a few white pistols on the main branch !!!!

my nlXbb kept growing until the last month then it just packed on weight !

 

[Swedge]

Yep I thought they were I'm excited haha

 

[Antics]

Looking good man.

 

[Swedge]

Thanks here's some pics from today

 

[Antics]

Is that a little nute burn on the leaf tips of the plant on the right, or just the lighting?

Both also appear to have a few leaflet tips curling down, watch closely for too much Nitrogen/overwatering.

 

[Swedge]

Yeah I'm waiting a good time before watering

My plants don't seem to like nutes even at quarter strength of grow big I'm getting nute burn

 

[Antics]

Always better to be safe than sorry, otherwise you'll end up like me, nursing a plant back to health slowly lol.
