Feed concentration is way too high. Id be at like 500 at that stage, and you shouldnt be watering coco with plain water. Frequency seems about right I guess for this stage, I’m still allowing a fair amount of dry back at this stage

Id always been a promix hp guy until I did a split run of half the tent in pro mix and half the tent in coco. Only took one run to never touch pro mix again. I think that last bag of promix has been sitting in my basement for 3-4 yrs now. Every friend I have who has problems I tell them go...

At that size I wouldn’t have watered once yet? Ive only tried FF coco and didn’t like it, seems like over half the problems on this site are people using their soil. Mabye it’s just super popular in the the US?

Overloaded timers cause fires.

4x4 tent, 315 cmh, 4 inch fan and filter is a great starter pack. That’s my veg tent and I do the odd flower run in there, always very pleased.

I just finished my first run under LED as well with a scorpion rspec after being pretty dialed in with CMH. Like you Doug, it wasn’t perfect but it gave me a glimpse of what is possible. I ended up with giant buds but the quality just wasn’t there and I blame myself. Was a seed run though so you...

Will likely be a stretchy bean pole unable to hold anything up

My first grow 25 yrs ago was under t-12s and it was good smoke. Start where ya can and work your way up. A grower with a great environment and proper watering technique with t5’s will out produce buddy who has blurples and shitty conditions.

I’ve always been told that if you have coco in your mix, treat it as coco. When in doubt in coco, flush the shit out of it with a good mix that has plenty of ca and k, I run 5.7-5.9ph in coco. Treat coco ph like hydro, not soil. If you are letting it dry out too much you’ll have a Concentration...

yeah, if I was spending 10k on lights I’d base my decision on the mounting cables and not the performance or efficiency.

I picked up the scorpion rspec recently. Couldnt bring myself to spend those last couple hundred. What a beast of a light, can’t imagine the Diablo. I ditched those flimsy cable right away and went for chains. Even back up chains direct to the ceiling in case the ratchet straps break. Cheap...

Yikes, that’s some dark green buds to be talking about harvesting. I’d wait for that reason alone. Never mind everything else that will be jumped on shortly.

You’re prob not rinsing it well? If it wasn’t reading right it would measure the calibration solution right!?!

Solid advice. A mans gotta start some where! My first grow was under t-12s 25 yrs ago from bagseed. Keep adding to your garden, keep learning. Learn to dial in your environment and everything else will fall into place. it’s a great Fukin hobby.

Why did you transplant so early? I’ve never used the stuff but the number of burnt seedlings in FF soil on this site is unreal.

Better flip those soon before they get too leggy. Looks like they stretching for light.

If it’s hermie, do the world of genetics a favour and just kill it.

I find any run without at least one surprise seed is boring lol. The surprise is part of the fun. I’m just a one light home grower that doesn’t care about quantity though.

There are rewards to be found in bagseed for sure. Isn’t the whole story behind chemdawg is that it’s from bag seed from a grateful dead concert? I’ve got 2 beans from some Blue apricot sherbert that are in veg right now. Came from some of the best smelling bud I’ve ever come across.

132 watts keep it short for sure. You won’t be penetrating much with that. You’ll just be growing stems. Some people say they need to be a certain age to develop the full profile but you are far from that. Get smokable bud on your first try and it’s a big win. Good luck in your grow brother!
