I'm thinking about it since I have all new equipment. So I probably need to move it o er to that section. Let read up on how to do that. Again t/u for your help. The 3 are up and I just put a 4th seed in water last night.

When you up pot those there is a mesh membrane on the outside that I remove.
Some leave it but I like the roots to be free.
There is a perforation to tear it off just before you plant it.
Also those mats get really hot.
It can damage babies, I have mine on a thermostat.
Just 2 cents.
Take care.

Agreed, I take the mesh off also and the mat isn't plugged in. That's part of the mistake I was making you helped correct. I do like the idea of having it on a thermostat for cloning, what do you use? Learn something new every time I reach out, t/u.

Blessings

3 strains og kush, banana jealousy and Acapulco gold for the ole skool flavor.

I have the grow hub on both tents with that and love it. I thought you meant there was a way to regulate the mat, sorry. Grown hubs are great

That stat is for the mat.
Plugs directly into it.
If you want just hit the report button and ask to be moved to journals in progress.

Gotcha, I will get 1 and did the report button. Have a great day and stay warm. Going down to 14 degrees here

 

[OGpapa]

Stay warm! Woke up to frozen pipes here. I'm gonna have to go out and check on garden

Is it going to give me a stretching growth issue if I keep my light up higher than 18"? Light is pretty wide I new setup and might be a little problem to lower/raise with pull cords. Here's a pic of room and light 60x60x80 tent 600w light

 

[OGpapa]

Shouldn't be a problem. But I do try to keep them as close as possible 12-16in. Sometimes I run random plants together, but I never go over 16inches. I will pinch a branch and lay it over to keep my canopy as even as I can. I do use pulley's inside the tent. It makes moving the light much easier.

Yes, it's on pulleys. I was just wondering

 

[OGpapa]

No worries! Alot of members measure the light output to verify the plant is getting what is needed. I just watch good my plant reacts. I'm old. Lol. No meter needed

You can always raise the pots at the start.
Might be easier than raising and lowering the light.
As the grow drop them down.
Just an option.

That's the option I'll be going with to start and see how it goes. The girls are standing strong just about ready to remove mesh and put in starter pot before finally going in 5gal fabric

The tap root will be poking through any minute.
If it goes through the mesh just leave it.
Don't damage the tap root.
I like clear cups under solos at this point.
You can build a root ball very quickly.
Then into 5 gal bags.
Just what I prefer.
What size are your starters?
