Just looking for a little help and advance, going the cheap route as u can see in the photo I have add some stuff since I took this photo . Temp:humidity , fan and better foiling also been thinking about order the T5 2ft 4 bulbs, heard good and not so bad thing about them what you think? Also should I b adjust the ph level this early and I'm grown in ffof mixed with perlite. Tell me what you think

Welcome to the forum!

I never check or adjust pH in soil. I also no longer check under the bed for monsters.....

Soil is a powerful buffer, there's no need to check pH if you're using a decent potting soil.

T5's are great lights! Just keep your plants small, start flowering them right away and browse the forum and read about LST, which is a canopy management technique.

You can grow some really nice meds under T5's!

What's your soil and source of nutrition?

You're gonna need some nutrients, organic or not!

May I suggest the Fox Farm product called "big bloom?" It's not expensive and goes with their soil pretty well.

There are many other options as well, but simple is often best when first starting out.

Welcome to 420! Looks like your off to a good start. I started on T8s and CFLs its a great way to grow with little energy and heat. Good luck

If you choose that product, I'd start right now!

You should look into Blue Planet Nutrients! They work great fro me and many other veteran growers. Also, they are one of 420mag's sponsors

Ok I check into the nurtients just going easy on the first try. I check out ur 2l . When do you clone them and how many inch do you start to bud at

 

[bigblunts209]

The ones i have going now in the 2L hempys were about 6" when i cut them! once they have a nice developed root system i plant them and they go straight to 12/12.

 

[Lazy leaf]

Ok cool to know that I might have to try that system

if you are wanting to go all organic i personally recommend Fox farm big bloom along with Neptunes Harvest fish and seaweed fertilizer. they are both organic and soil friendly. your grow looks good man. its a nice start. its best to start small and work your way up. slowly investing in newer more powerful lights. bigger and better pots. im new to the game but i have learned alot from this website!! keep us posted and we will be there for you on your journey!! good luck and keep it green man!!

Great looking start I'm also a fairly new grower and will offer what advice I can give. Most of my knowledge is in hydro. I've had great results running fox farms grow big and big bloom series in my resiviors and would sugest them to other new beginers. Keep it rolling man looks good.

Hey guys went out of town for 4 days and come back my girlfriend was tending to the ladies. Couple of questions. My humidity was under 30 and my temp was like 77 and my girl said she just watered them Saturday. And also she mention that the last on the said where give off to much light. So I switched to 40watts bulb instead of the 60watts bulb. Should be my last wk with these lights . T5 should be here
