I've ONLY heard bad things about MG. check up on that
GL to you

I think a 1000w is way to much to grow just 1 or 2 plants and for that small of a space[more for the amount of plants]and definitely would get rid of that miracle gro.

Double j's 4000w hps grow+veg room

 

[SuperJoe]

Okay cool, what do you reccomend I substitute for MG (preferably something I can get at home depot or wal-mart and don't have to order), and maybe 600W would be better? My biggest concern is that my closet is only 2' deep but 5 wide, with white walls - will the plants in the corners have enough light??

Because my seeds are unfeminized, I'll probably be planting 3 or 4 at a time, discarding males when the time is right, and possibly cloning females to optimize... So up to 4 at a time.

Bro..get rid of the miracle grow!!

 

[ocnugs]

If you read my journal i have a tent about the same size as your closet i used 2.5 quart buckets and managed to fit 21 in this space and if you look at the photos you will see this turned out well. and yes 600 if just 2 plants.

400-600 watts are great i grow in my closet just remember not to wait till theyre four feet once they hit a foot flip the cycle , or you will run out of space like i ,, and ditch the miracle grow ... gh has good cheap nutes and ask someone for their lucas formula.(tricome ) has it i think

What is GH an abbreviation for? Sorry I'm new!!

 

[justintym2]

general hydroponics

Also...don't use that Shultz!!

 

[SuperJoe]

What are some commonly available nutes I can use??

 

[SuperJoe]

So the plan as of now is to swap out the MG & Shultz for FF Grow Big and FF Tiger Bloom, Also gonna use FF Marine cuisine in my pre-mix. Also adding to my mix: Perlite, Masonary Sand, Worm Castings.

Also need to pick up a hygrometer/thermometer and a pH meter, which I'll probably pick up after next payday because for the first two weeks I'll only be watering with pure water and some really diluted hydrogen peroxide. I don't expect pH to be an issue until I start adding nutes.

Advice and constructive criticism is appreciated!
-Thx
Joe.

YAY!!!! HoOoooray!!! FF good call Super Joe!!!! I also use the Cha Ching with great results!! I recommend that...Haven't got the beastie bloom or open sesame. My indoor growing time is just about expired and will be letting mother nature do some work over the summer and give my electric bill a break and my yield and increase!! Wooohoooo

 

[SuperJoe]

Bet of luck! Where I live it's too cold for most strains and indoor therefore is really the only option.
