What's up guys! Alright, so I just harvested my first grow about 2-3 weeks ago which unfortunately, I grew with Miracle Gro Moisture Control which I will be making a thread shortly for the 1st timers. Anyways, I am beginning my 2nd grow. I picked up 4 clones from the Clone shop out here in LA County. Also, just picked up some Roots Organic Original Blend. Since I picked up rooted clones I did not want to risk getting hot soil. Also decided to go all organic. From my understanding Roots Organic is pretty damn good soil and I likely won't need to feed for 1 month or so. Any body have any experience with this soil? I have the clones starting off in party cups with holes cut on the bottom. I plan to transplant as soon as they are big enough to go into my tent with is about 48x24x60. I am currently debating on what kind of lighting that is cost efficient and efficient for vegging. I am thinking of getting 2ft 6-8 bulb T5 light fixture with CFL's for side lighting. What do you guys think? I have seen some pretty huge buds grow from T5's on here somewhere. Here's some details on my grow:
Strains: 1xGirl Scout Cookies, 1xXXX Bubba, and 2xMadMan OG
Indoor or outdoor: Indoor
Soil or Hydro?: Soil
If soil... what is in your mix?: Roots Organic Potting Soil
If soil... What size pot?: Currently in Dixie Cups, but plan to get big enough pots since my grow tent is pretty damn big.
Size of light?: Currently using 92w 6500K CFL's til they get big enough for bigger pots. Will upgrade when I transplant.
Temp of Room: 70-85 (Just started Fall so this temps should be ideal when I get my tent set up and the plants are big enough.
RH of Room/cab: 40%-65%
PH of media: Watering with 7.0pH tap water. Runoff 4.5-4.7 pH (Is this good to start with?)
Alright so, what I am hoping to get from you guys is your recommendations on nutrients and lighting. Any good Organic Nutes out there? I am hoping to upgrade my lighting to get some T5's or just get a 250w HPS both with CFLs for side lighting. I really don't want to go too high on the wattage since I currently live in apartments and also worried about heat and electricity. Also, do I treat my ROOTED clones the same as seedlings or as plant grown from seed, if that makes any sense? Spent $10.00 bucks each for them so I definitely don't want to waste money and time.
Thank you guys in advance, hopefully you guys will subscribe and help me out since this is the first time I am going to be feeding on my own rather than MG doing it. Any tips, suggestions, comments are greatly appreciated.
Stay High!
Would love to have the CFLs closer but this is the closest possible with a clamp
