Hello fellow RIU growers! This is my 1st thread so I'm excited to see what kinda feedback I get! I'm just starting my own grow room and I would REALLY appreciate any advice. I am working with a 250 watt MH light (bulb from Lowes) and the currents grow area I have set up is 24" x 20" x 70" (but I do have the capability to make it bigger and it is already set up with shelves in case I want to make a cabinet). I am using bag seeds from a good batch of mids that I had just to try out till I make up my mind on what seeds to buy online. I just transplanted four 3" seedlings in a DWC set-up, and the light is about 5" from the top of the leaves (I have pretty good ventilation so the temp stays around 79 degrees F without burning any of my leaves)! I bought the general hydroponic nutes from the hydro store but I'm not sure if the water has enough nutes! Its a pretty big tote and took 12 gal's of water to submerge the 6"x7" net pots about 1/2" into the water! Nute instructions say to put 1/2 tsp per gal of water so I put a lil extra and put 7 tsp in the 12 gals. That was 2 days ago and I haven't seen much growth! Should I add more nutes? One of my main question is since I have a 250 watt MH... can I expand my grow area? How many sqf could a 250 watt MH cover? I just lined my small grow space with that Mylar (the reflective bubblewrap from Lowes). I want to be able to use as much space as I can with my 250 watt MH and hopefully be able to have more grow space! Please give me any suggestions as to what I can do different! I do have enough room in my closet... I just wanna make sure I get all I can from my MH light! Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanx to all....
