Shit bro thats not good, how much perlite did u put in

I just got that Happy Frog soil so I didn't add any extra perlite or anything.. I just add bone meal once

 

[superskunk4u]

might pay to try and add some more bone meal might of made it more dense

I was thinking that.. I was also thinking of adding a bit more soil and throwing extra perlite in that

 

[CharmCity915]

I was thinking of trying to aerate the soil but try to be as careful as possible

Mars has bad reviews, galaxyhydro has good warranty

mine lasted about 2 years before it failed beyond worth

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT
Here is the ChemDog. I cut her down today.. Well I actually cut half of her down and left the lower half to get a fee more days under the lights.. I wish I would've have left the HPS up and fixed the glass then.. Grow and learn I guess

Yea they are gonna love it.. CFLs are awesome and stealthy but they just don't give enough light intensity.. Definitely finishing the box for the HPS

Thank you @MeJuana & @superskunk4u .. Now that I got the first one out of the way it only gets better from here HOPEFULLY :p:cool:.. I'm a little confused but kinda get this but wanna ask anyways.
Can I veg & bloom under the same HPS ?
I am buying a Mars Hrdro LED from a buddy as soon as we can meet up.
I wanna get the best yield for my little cab's so I need to get this sorted asap..
Any helps is awesome

Hay buddy in my understanding, you will want to use mh (more in the blue spectrum) for veg then when u do the flip throw in the hps

 

[MeJuana]

Well you can use HPS for veg but the plants will be stretchy and maybe other stuff I am forgetting. That's in the 2500-3000K range I believe and we need to be in the 5000+ range for veg if I am remembering this correctly. I use 100% fluorescent 6500K lights. I have T5 HO and also some cheap shop lights that area 6500K to supplement. I love flouro it doesn't have the speed of Metal Halide commonly being abbreviated MH but it does a great job stacking the nodes really close. Plus I built my veg indoors with me since I keep my house lower than 75F the lights hold it perfectly at 75F for me since there's a vent near them. But when I need veg fast I use my 600 watt mh which in that case it better be cold out or I am adding cooling.

Hay mate ive just picked up a 600w mh/hps kit whats your rec veg time under that

 

[3N1GM4]

You veg till your plant is about 1/3 as tall as it can be when it is done growing. It will double in height or more in the first few weeks of flower.

 

[superskunk4u]

so the same rule as always I guess.... just the time may be diffrent under a 600w apposed to a 250w cfl
