South American grow

[bmrstnr420]

Hey guys, this is my first serious indoor grow.I live in a remote town in South America and there is no quality bud around. So after much self educating, i decided to start my own grow.My setup is not the greatest but this is what I have to work with due to my location. The original plan was to grow just Northern Lights but I received a bunch of free seeds with my order so I decide to grow them all. They are all 29 days old today.Any tips or comments are highly appreciated.


Seeds;
Big Bang auto x1
Jack Herer auto x1
Danceworld x1
Bluematic x1
Northern Lights x5
Northern Lights auto x1
Indoor mix from Female Seeds x4

Setup;
290 watt HPS+70 watt MH+84 watt cfl
Soiless mix in 1.5 gallon pots
fan and exhaust fan

Nutrients;
For veg, 20 20 20
For flower 4 18 38
Alfalfa tea throughout

Looks good!! Got a lot coming out beautiful, how many are you actually keeping? And those cfls need to be CLOSER only 1-2 inches away, what wattage does it say on your cfls?

 

[Grosse Pointe Dank]

Lol sorry beat me to the punch. But yeah those cfls should be so close that when your hand is in between the plant and bulb your hand should lightly feel the heat from the cfl.

I'm keeping 7 in the grow room 1 northern lights I'm going to keep in veg for clones and the rest I am moving to a rooftop greenhouse/coldhouse.e CFLs are warm white 42 w. I'm afraid to move the lights too close because last time I did they burned the Big Bang,Jack Herer,Danceworld and one of the mixes.the Danceworld and mix recovered quick but the other two got stunned.thanks for the suggestions and replies! I've been doing this on my own with no help so any input is welcomed!

I did the test had the CFLs 2 inches away and I got some tacoed leaves,the main source of light is the hps,thanks for your advice!

They look good. Personally I'd stick with the 20-20-20 the whole grow, or at least give it half dose of each. I would predict you'll get a lot of yellowing and leaf loss with so little N in the other fertilizer.

These 2 have been preflowering for about a week now

 

[bmrstnr420]

I think I'll mix them both,thanks for looking out!

It will work fine, just use 1/2 (or less) the recommended amount of each fertilizer. You'd essentially be applying 12-19-29.

Thats what i will do,thanx again forthe help.So should I still flush before flowering?I'm planing on changing to 12\12 in around a week once they are on 8th node.

I had the same issue with my plants when i had them close at first also. You just need to adjust them slowly, i did and now that i have the plants grow all kind of extra growth all over the place and the slowing of stretching. Idk bout you guys but some times space isn't always there.
