Nice, yeah this is a super low budget grow, bare essentials no bells and whistles. Started a little shaky I had the light to close to the plants and they yellowed up and stayed super short. As soon as I raised the light to three feet above the plants got happy and started filling in. Thanks for the tip on the cal/mag. Is there something with the light that makes the plants deficient in cal/mag?? I've been adding a small dose with every watering, they seem pretty happy now. I see what your saying about the no penetration of light, I think it would be best for me to scrog. If I don't get to it on this grow I will on the next. Either way I'm gonna pin down, tie down what ever I can to get those secondaries some light. Giving them some worm tea with fish and kelp tomorrow and flipping to 12/12.:)Good grow so far my friend I've used and use galaxy leds on small stout plants . They are good lights just have no penetrations. I like using them on small sog. Also add cal mag when using those leds.When I started indoor I had to save money at every corner. I bought window AC on Craigslist and bought a keg temp controller on amazing that had a probe for 40 dollars and it kept temps easily at 72-75. When it got under 72 it would turn off it saved me lots of money on the bill.
A scrog would be ideal but since you are flipping soon tying them down is more than enough. Also there was a reason about the cal mag I just do t remember it was from a mars hydro thread in another forum I was having the same issue:)

Well sry brother, this was the first time i seen your thread. Damn if i would of seen it a lil sooner. I read where many growers put the light to close the first grow. I actually was just the opposite,,, i like to keep my light high as possible. I finally decided somewhere in the middle is best and now follow this regimen,,, I keep it high all the way till flower and then when it starts to stack, i lower it... I want the stretch esp when scrogging, but just as soon as it begins to stack, i want them to be more compact for obvious reasons...A scrog would be ideal but since you are flipping soon tying them down is more than enough.

Ya wish I would have known the light was to low the first three weeks. I think the plants would be a lot more filled out, but I'm learning. I've already learned a lot by trial and error for the next grow:eyepiece:glad you found me. Thx for input. PeaceWell sry brother, this was the first time i seen your thread.

I do want you to know that your first 10 days i thought was excellent growth! So you got that part down! So thats germ 101 checked off. Your next grow will be better and on and on, etc...Ya wish I would have known the light was to low the first three weeks. I think the plants would be a lot more filled out, but I'm learning.

I should also note that i prob give more light than is needed at this stage which allows me to have the light higher. Which helps with temps, rh, and other factors such as transpiration..Well sry brother, this was the first time i seen your thread. Damn if i would of seen it a lil sooner.

What's the dark side, hydro?? And don't know if I've got the room for 3x veg growth, although if I did I'd love to turn this hobby into a full time gig. Dreaming on paper.I do want you to know that your first 10 days i thought was excellent growth! So you got that part down! So thats germ 101 checked off.
