I have only used the micro grow and bloom with no additives in the past.Nutrients
Last couple grows I've done were just micro, grow, bloom. This is my first attempt using the extras, already seeing a difference in stem size and foliage, looking forward to see harvest size now.I have only used the micro grow and bloom with no additives in the past.
Curious to see what they will bring.
Looking good.
Hi, Are you saying those are 7 weeks old from seed to the size they are in the largest pics? What are those extra nutrients you're giving them? Are you giving them these nute's in veg? That's incredible growth, I'll follow along your diary.Last couple grows I've done were just micro, grow, bloom.

Nice job, I'm impressed by the growth you're getting out of those lights and nute's. What did the 1200 watt cost? cdn (ballpark) Amazon?Little update for everyone who's following. Built a net since I wasn't happy with the net I was using before, wasn't keeping the plant down like I would like and it was 4" squares. One I built has 2" squares so much easier to have control over the plant. Plant to the right ( Gorilla glue #4) isn't stretching like the other so I think I'll raise the pot up towards the net so I can get proper use out of it.
Thanks, I find topping and training them is the trick to getting good growth with this kind of setup. If I remember correctly I picked the 1200 up for 170 cdn shipped from amazon. I will eventually upgrade to better lighting but for the price and results I'm pleased.Nice job, I'm impressed by the growth you're getting out of those lights and nute's.

Okay, good to know. I have a 1000w HPS that cost too much to run. I was looking at going with LED and then my 1000w ballast blew on me so without thinking I panicked and went out and paid $190 for a new one. It was a Simpsons moment when I thought about it afterwards. I could have gone LED for around the same price. I talked to the guys at the grow shop a couple of weeks later and they said the LED's you can get cheap on Amazon are useless and you need to spend big bucks to get the top notch LED's worth thousands. I'm glad to see you've proved them wrong so far. I'll be watching your flowering to see how that pans out for you. Good luck it'll be fun watching your progress.Thanks, I find topping and training them is the trick to getting good growth with this kind of setup.

look into cob/quantum board led's. You can build your own setup, customize your spectrum and light placement. Best part is they are efficient and put out much less heat than HID lights. cobkits.comOkay, good to know. I have a 1000w HPS that cost too much to run.

Power consumption and heat were my main reasons for going LED. I will agree that the more money you put out for lighting the better results you will have. I definitely wouldn't say the cheaper ones are useless though, I've had good results using the 600 watt and now with the 1200 beside it I know I'll be happier with the yeild. I'll be going with cob setups next time around though. I will say that I can't see a difference on my power bill at all having my setup.Okay, good to know.

Heat is not usually a problem for me, in fact for most of the year I need the heat the HPS provides, right now it's a pain it's getting up over 85f. but when it's on through the winter I can keep it around 75f so It's either heat from the light or heat from a heater. My biggest issue is the cost @ over$100 per month for the light alone, add fans, dehumidifier running 24/7it gets expensive. I'm sure I could recoup my cost in a year with LED's. Now I just have to convince my wife that if I spend more money on new gear we can save money in the long run.look into cob/quantum board led's.
