influx i checked out the les link you left, i also read the posts earlier. isee the ones you linked have samsung boards, and the one in my HLG as good? i saw it said top bin in the spec. my tent is 2.5 x 2.5 but really 2x2 realistically, im in vt so only going to do two plants, so hoping the hlg led should cover the area and isnt too much light, which i dont think it is from what ive read.

Also I recommend dimming based on room temp you want to be like 80 degrees if you follow vpd you can have pretty high humidity at 80 degrees F it's better to raise the light a few inches vs dimming it unless your in a hot climate

the cfls i have going are blowing my mind after the blurple, the new growth is looking healthy lol. question, is it ok to start feeding my vegging plants a nute mix at 550 ppm?

1 gal ro water
1.5 tsp cal mag
1/4 tsp epsom salt
5ml bio vege
550 ppm
1100 ec

ive been giving the plants a nute that was around 400 but i believe i was having some lockout problems. growing in terra canna pro plus, been phing my juice to 5.9-6, going to ph this batch to 5.5-5.6 and see if the issues go away, i think i was having a combination of the lower ph nutrient lockouts. crinkled margins, abnormal twisted new leaf growth, reddish purple top fan leaves. believe is was magnese, boron, phosphorous issue. sound right?

im in vermont, winter is coming, heat shouldnt be an issue, going to buy a hps system later in the year when it gets real cold, i want a led during the summer, HID during the winter

I's go 1/4 strength and see how they respond as the starting nutes get used up. To much can be worse than not enough. Adjust up off how the plants respond.

I know this isnt a great picture but didnt want to disturb these plants. i practicing topping them and defoliated as if to start to manifold/mainline the colas. waiting for them to get dry enough so hopefully the leaf droop will improve before i feed them again. i have 3 feminized super skunk about to poke through in the back, going to start those with a clean slate with what i know now and hopefully will be better. one of the things i learned is to pay more attention to the medium level when transplanting. im losing inches to not putting them in the container properly.


also i turned off my inline fan for a couple hours while i made this on a cast iron pan

so these are the three plants im not sure their sex. i got the three which started poking heads through in the back, but practicing some lst on these three



does that look right? i tied down the new shoots at the top, im thinking i sjouldve let them geow taller before i bent them to maximize the distance from the center od the plant, but like i said these three plants are my guinea pigs so to speak. getting major droop on the one on the side, been waiting 3 days for the medium to dry out. i have a cheap moisture meter that says its still pretty wet on the bottom 6 out of nine on the moisture meter. i know its said to not let soilless mediums to dry out, but is it a good idea to keep waiting to water with my nute mix until its dry on the bottom? pretty sure i over wateres the first two weeks. any help is appreciated thanks.
