Yeah that has amount red to blue n all. Way high in blue to red not good for flower. And it says 100w equivalent and then says 300w per bulb. There is no bulbs and 100 watt eq is real weak. Specs don’t add up. The other looked better. Not sure where your located but if in USA look at amazon. Brand hollandstar has some good red and galaxy hydro gas real good red. Both around $100. I’m looking at the 1000-1500w hollandstar. Might put 2 in my 4x8 I’m building with the 4 ft 8 bulb t5 I got waiting on the space. Got to start getting it ready.
Ok not buying the 600w as of now. But will update you. Thanks

I am glad you are participating in what these forums are all about. Seems like the "pros" get too tied up in small talk. Kind of like smoking cigarettes at the library. The cool kids do it.

We're here to help each other out

If you are growing in real soil then mix your nutes half strength from what the bottles say and pH to 6.5
Let me know what kind of potting mix you get. Most mixes are a combo of coco, peat and perlite.
These should be treated more like hydro. Ph your nutes to 5.9.
If you are in dirt or potting mix you should always water until you get runoff. 10-20%
Then let the medium dry out before watering again.
Depending on what soil/soil less mix you get. (Some come with nutes in the soil and some dont)
A common practice is feed, feed water
Hey dewd here's the new mix I got. And the pic of runoff water as suggested. Please share your thoughts everyone

Ok IMO this is what you want to do...
Water only. Don't ph. Don't add nutes.
Make sure you empty your runoff tray after the pot drains.
Don't want the plant sitting in the runoff water.
Don't water again until the soil gets dry and the pot gets lighter.
The roots will take a week or so to establish then the plant will explode.
Keep us posted on your progress.

After my first feed of plain water(20% flow out) the front facing tri leaves is bending down, any clues about this.

It's possible the soil you are using is a little hot for that little plant.
It's possible it's getting ready for bed.
My plants do this every night just before the lights go out. They know.
I've grown mostly in "soil less" mediums.
But you plant looks good to me. Let's keep an eye on it for a few days.
Send another pic tomorrow
