I stepped into this without much research (Ya My Bad!) .. I was actually helping out a friend that hit some troubled times so I bought this stuff from him to help his family out it was all still brand new in the boxes but he could not return it to Amazon as it had passed the time frame to return. I have a couple questions as I have been scrolling thru the various threads here and many of the details are above my understanding on growing mj at this point. The tent is a 4 x 4 Vivosun, the lights are (don't flame me here) King LED's (2 of them) 1200's. I figured midas well give it a whirl, I started by purchasing seeds from ILGM and germinated them in a paper towel and put them into the small cups pictured. I went to a grow shop in my area and explained to the guy I don't know beans about growing MJ and I did not want to get involved with a bunch of chemicals I have no clue on how to use and I want this to be as easy as possible until I figure out what I'm doing. I went the soil route as he suggested I use FarmFox Ocean Forest as the growing medium I guess it's full of nutrients and what have you. The strains are Goldleaf, California Dream and Chronic Widow. The information on the lights is totally confusing, I followed the directions started one light up high and dropped it down to 34 inches this morning. These are a week old. I have a cpl questions, please if I am asking redudant questions I have already searched and apologize.
1) I purchased 5 gal soft fiber buckets from the shop .. how soon or when should I move these and should I go straight into the large pots or buy some smaller/medium sized ones?
2) The manual that came with the lights is confusing it does not offer any sort of true guidance at all .. right now I'm only running one light with the Veg switch only on. The manual says to use "All On" when you get to a specific stage and then switch over to straight bloom mode late in the flower cycle? .. I'm sure that is several weeks away do I run it with both switches in the on position when I get to that time frame? and when or don't do that at all? like I said the directions that came with the lights are quite vague. My intention is to utlize both lights when or if the garden gets big enough to do so. One light per two plants.
3) The guy included a brand a new PH20 water tester also, my city tap water tests out at 7.1ph do I buy stuff to adjust the water back to 6.5 Ph or just leave it alone? and water accordingly.
4) Will I need any type of growing solutions down the road? Nothing to extreme
Thank You in advance for any input as this was a fly by the seat of my pants start up and I'd like to get a little something..someting out of it if possible. I've included pictures of the manual so you can see exactly what I'm talking about. Thx Kur
