thank you for your tips, have to say i am not 100% nutrients savy.
always good to hear some concrete numbers from a experienced grower.
am using RO, but no calmag as my nitrogen source is mainly calcium nitrate.
Calcinit, Hakaphos 5-20-30 base salt, epsom salt atm for these.
10l 5-6g Calcinit, 5-6g base salt, 3-4g epsom, EC 1-3-1.5.
PH is perfect after aeration for 12h, no PH- needed.
last run i had for quite some time a lower runoff then what went in, thats why i probably went lil too high.
maybe a better idea to start a little higher and not go as high later, in best case i dont need to chase anything, there i often loose.
can not say if that will happen, also no gurantue to not light stress them,
as you say from 800 and you need to be carefull.
am also just using some pretty uncontrolled enviroment, it should be ok atm, springtime.
in summer i have to fight the humidity, that could be a bummer if all else works out "fat".
this time i started them in 1l mini hempy perlite/vermiculite mix and the main hempy buckets will be 10l 100% hydroton.
watering first by hand, later by a small battery powered auto watering system, which can do all from 2h-72h, 1-100sec intervalls.
thats the plan at least.
i would like to equip the veg box with buddies.
the box just need a basic overhaul before this, basically need to spray paint the walls white then i can put new leds in.
or line up all with aluminium tape.
even have some spare eb3 slim strips i could use, 2 CXB3590 6500k (installed allready), a few 3000k EB3 slim and the 4000K buddies.
the reds are may ok too, as the 6500k are so blue anyway.
tons of options, i just hate the paint/tape action.
when the gelatos are out there the box will veg their clones, not very demanding.
