Virgin grow Blue Dream transplant to 7 gal Coco: Nirvana

[JewBrees]

My girl blue ivory has been growing since Jan 17 though she didn’t do anything for the first month. And now she has a thick stem like powww! This is my first grow . Did this under three 75 watt replacement led Phillips bulbs 6500 k I believe 1300 lumens. Topped her on 2 occasions.
About to put her in a grow box under 600w hps/mh let herfill out a trellis and throw her in flower. Using gh flora trio, cal magic..........

I guess all the speeches mr. Feeny used to give me about patience finally paid off!

Hey mate, fellow coco grower here.
Need a few more lumens in veg mate.
Need about 6000.

Use the 600w HPS to veg a week more and see the difference... Then flower
I used 600hps for complete grows before I swapped to 315w CMH. Grew Monstas!

Thanks I’ve had problems finishing building my grow box.. (laziness) which is why I wasn’t using my 600w I’m gonna finish and paint asap to get my light up. I was vegging in my kitchen pissing my girlfriend off just for too long!

Haha... Happy wife, Happy life...
Let that paint dry, then chuck 600 in and use it to get all fumes out.
Flat white, not gloss.
For a 600w hps you need an area 1m x 1m and 1.8m high...minimum...and a good extraction fan, like a 150mm centri fan to draw air out. A tent can be the go, cheap, lined already and movable.
ebay has heaps, stay away from pvc, vents gases into grow.
I use tents, just easier.

Hope that helps.

I built pretty adequate ventilation in for negative pressure as well about to run a small window unit behind intake to deal with humidity. Yes it is a m2 I was gonna go 4ftx4ft but thought why not build a m2 to focus on learning each plant I do and bringing yield up since most of the reputable seed banks base their projected yields on m2. Made box out of coastal core treated plywood 8 ft in height..... I’ve also been fearful to move her in as she is inside right now and the box is in an outside garage. I have nightmares every night for the last 3 weeks of bugs crawling all over her lol. It’s terrifying as I started this plant to learn I only have just the one growing right now.
