Hi, This is my first attempt to grow using HPS. I have grown using a compact fluorescent, it produced poor quality light weight fluffy nugs. Iv done lots of research and i am ready to step my game up. I know a 600whps is ideal for this set up but due to budget and heat i decided on the 400hps. I am welcome to any for of criticism good or bad. If there is something i could have done better id love to hear! I am currently 13 days. After planting clones, 5 days later i noticed mold on my jiffy pots so i switched to 1 gallon plastic pots, fed 1/2 dose of nutrients the same day. 4 days later medium was starting to dry so i flushed with PH 6 water.
i am not sure why my pics wont show here, but you can look at my gallery.
On day 7 i took more pics everything looks great, but i am no expert.
I will take more pics on the 13th, thats tomorrow so i will be updating soon!
1) Space :3x3x7
2) Lights: Flowering 400w air cooled hps. Veg 2x 125w fluorescent hydrofarm grow lamps.
3) Strain 1: 1 skywalker og clone (Hybrid-Indica dominate) -Great roots high quality clone!
4) Strain 2: 3 OG 18 clones "private reserve" Cannabis cup winner '09 and '10. (Hybrid-Indica dominate) - Great roots! high quality clones! The blue dream was poorly rooted and did not make it, sorry.
5) Medium: VermiPro soilless organic grow medium. (Triple washed coco coir, the highest grade peat moss, aged softwood bark, perlite and mycorrhizal fungi.
6) Nutrients: Technaflora recipe for success.
7) Pot size: started in 4 inch deep jiffy cups, turns out that was a bad idea. 5 days later i noticed white fuzzy mold on the jiffy cup. They hold too much moisture and don't dry out. This had no negative effect on the plants. I transplanted into 1 gallon pots and will switch to 3 gallon the day before i flip the switch "12-12"
8) Current light cycle: 18-6
