If you had it to do over would you reduce your wattage to 400 or 600 watts? Thanks for your input (grow space- 2.5 feet wide x 3 feet wide)
I am growing in a space about the same size as yours and using a 400W hps for flowering.If you had it to do over would you reduce your wattage to 400 or 600 watts? Thanks for your input (grow space- 2.5 feet wide x 3 feet wide)
You are right one learns something new after each grow -number of plants? thinking about 6 plants - know it will reallly be crowdedI am growing in a space about the same size as yours and using a 400W hps for flowering.
Have read. 400W will cover a meter squared.
I did not get my expected yield, but tha was more my fault.
This grow is going better.

SR, I have not seen him in a bit on any of the sites, but will keep an eye out and let him know you are looking for him.Shaggn where ya at? How's that sog going?
Good looking out gr. no I havnt done it yet but I will be hopefully soon. I will definetly keep you posted. Right no I'm pheno hunting. I'm trying to find some keepers for next year. I'm pheno hunting super lemon haze, sinmint cookies and true canna gentics purple project. But I do have 20 blue dream, 30 sour kush, 30 ice bomb, Devils harvest 30 Casey jones, 30 sour strawberry diesel and 42 shoreline....so I have 182 seeds ready to do my 120 from 12/12. When I start I will start them in canna coco styrofoam cups for the first two weeks and then transplant them to 2l bottles with the bottom half mixed with perlite and vermiculite hempy style. Til them I'm doing a little project of 12 right now from 12\12 from seed.SR, I have not seen him in a bit on any of the sites, but will keep an eye out and let him know you are looking for him.
Did you do the 120 from seed at 12/12? If so where can I read about it?

Hey peeps. Be assured I'm actually reading the thread to find answers, not just begging for the work to be done for me!
That said, its a long thread, so I'll read while I wait for the answers to my begging!
I've just germinated a bunch of seeds for what has to be a quick in and out Hempy grow.
They're in rockwool plugs now, and as they pop their heads up I'm going to put them into sytofoam cups with perlite.
Dynagro at ¼ strength - grow, protekt and ⅛ strength kln (rooting hormone).
So my main question is, apart from burying deep at transplant, how can I help the roots hit the res as quick as possible?
Final pot size will be cut off 2 litre bottles. Should I pot up several times in graded containers so the plants don't have to wait weeks to hit res? Would I be better just getting them in the bottles in a week or so and giving small regular waterings to keep them going til the reach the res?
I need to go 12/12 asap really. Like I say, this grow needs to be a quick in out. It's as much about learning passive hydro as the actual result, but I do want a result!
In summary, tips on how to succeed in a pretty much 12/12 from seed Hempy sog under 600w HPS.
Shoot!
If you are going into straight perlite, then 2 lite waterings a day will do.Ok .
Straight into bottles then. I guess very regular small waterings then? Twice a day? Morning, lunch and night?
Is it worth putting a handful of sterile pebbles in the bottom of the bottle for the res zone? The perlite I have has vary varied sized particles, some very small.
Once the roots hit the res, is that the time to go 12/12? Don't imagine I wantbto do it before then?
What do you use a table and support? I have a 1" pvc piping underneath my table slightly angled to run off into a bin.This morning I tried to overcomplicate a simple system by building a drain table that would allow me to water the bottles and just let the run off disapear down a plug hole and collect in a bucket under the table.
It was going well til I put all the bottles back in and managed to collapse the thing cos I didn't do a proper job on the legs. Like a twat.
So I tidied up the splilt perlite and water, salvaged the tiny seedlings and hopefully all is back to where I started. :/
That was pretty much my plan. I put a sheet of foil backed insulation on top of my scrog screen I'm not using at the moment, had a plug hole and PVC pipe, covered in PVC sheet. Then I lent on it and collapsed it before I fixed the legs property. It was kinda funny in a shot yourself in the foot kind of way...What do you use a table and support?
