You'll be

Bro that kix ass I'm at 18" and felt like they could scooch down some. I'm going to the tent now.

that's for hps. I imagine the mh should be a lil closer then what this says but it's a good chart.

 

[Midwestjay]

I will see what 14" does, I dont want to over do it. Now that chart must be in ref. per light. and not overall room. @Midwestjay

That chart is from the element to any point of the plant at that distance. Like tying a string from the bulb to the plant.

Oh snap, maybe I should go down to the 10". The hoods are cooled and vented. I have fresh filtered air coming in blowing right above the ladies.

Just keep the temps cool.

With those sativa strong genetics I'd keep the lights as close as I can without seeing heat or light damage. Cause they prob gonna stretch good. I'm currently running my hps at about 20" if I get much closer I get heat/light damage. Actually at that height the middle of the plant is slightly a lighter color.

I'll let her kinda grow into the light as she fowers maybe as close as 16". I'm not running cool tubes but much closer then that the light will burn them by itself. The leaves will get lighter in color.

I was surprised to see how much the ducting impacts the heat. I was kind of worried my tent wasnt going to be warm enough during veg. I have major ac vent by my intake fan and filter. I moved it further away from the vent because it was just too cold to be blowing in.

Yea it makes all the difference. I've seen 30° f drops after going to cool tubes and exhausting out the area

So my mixing chart for vegetative stage state the following: once your plants have established root systems, they are ready for vegetative growth on an 18 hour light cycle. Changing your reservoir once weekly, apply the following vegetative formula each week consistently throughout the vegetative cycle until plants reach desired height. Mix the following nutrients for every one gallon of water to create vegetative formula. BC BOOST-3tsp BC BLOOM- 3tsp AWESOME BLOSSOMS-1/2tsp THRIVE ALIVE B-1 RED-1/2tsp MAGICAL-1/2tsp SUGAR DADDY-2 1/2tsp ALWAYS ADD BOOST FIRST. PH SHOULD BE AT 5.8-6.2 and PPM 1100.....anyways thats this recipe for success from technaflora

Here's a good chart for hps and lumen. View attachment 584326

I moved them down to approximately 10" I will keep a close eye on them.

So that is very high ppm. and ph starting point. Any input? I will be filling my rez with about 35 gallons. @Midwestjay @Irie Farmer @Grow4me @ArcticOrange @Og Gong

Write that's a crazy amount of stuff to add. Honestly I'd stick to the base nutes to start.

Not sure what ppm that is but I start with at least half what the manufacture recommends. Some times a 4th. And Idk if you run higher ppm in ebb over dwc or not.

 

[wasfromks]

I believe it's essentially the same. I will try to measure out 300-400ppm is my goal for beginning vegetative. @Midwestjay

Well I usually start about 100-200ppm range. I always start super low. And just raise at every change long as she's happy. Long as the ppm is dropping I'm jumping it up around 50ppm per change/week.
Like this Og auto. She started at 125ppm. And she's 5 weeks Friday. She's at 500ppm and loving it. I could prob be higher but she's happy af and its always better to be on the lower side then the high side.

Just watch the plants. If they ain't reaching for the light, like literally leaves pointed strait out and some at the light. If they are like that they are happy as hell. As soon as you see them drop/droop then you know that something is off. Usually over feeding, but heat and ph are the other two main reasons.

 

[Midwestjay]

I really recommend you dint use all those boosters. On your first run I recommend just the base nutes that hydroguard and maybe a booster during flower. All I used my very first grow was gh 3part and pulled 500g out of a 4x4x7 with a 600w hps.

I can tag you in a couple posts where beginners are trying to use a bunch of additives and having failures.

Just took these, they are definitely standing up.

Exactly brother. Those look perfect. Great color and reaching for the stars lol. That's what you wanna see the whole time. If they droop something is off.

 

[Midwestjay]

Like this is what you wanna see. This or pointing up.

Loox good. Myne have a long ways to go. I will be patient with this one. I still have to get 6 clones off her for the other 6 sites, and get the screen set up.....ways to go.
