I'm starting my first SoG in a 4x4 grow tent and am trying to decide the better light 600W or 1000W for flowering. Cost is about $100 more for the 1000W and I'll need a fan (which I don't need for the 600W). Plus increased kW $ Is the 1000W too much / overkill / unnecessary for that small an...

thanks so much - I'll give it a try.... Your point here is to go to a rapid rooter and soil first to get hardened off then to hydro. You think that hardening off is better then going directly to rockwool for the cutting and into hydro?

Wrong thread, but try changing light cycle to at least 14/10 and add a big dose of nitrogen.

OK so , you: 1. Take the rooted mass and knock the soil off (not all just most I would guess) 2. You insert the rooted mass into a 6" rockwool cube. The hole is at the top and the rootmass just sits in the hole, right? Then this is placed in the hydro setup/net pot? How long till the roots come...

I'm with you up to the nock the dirt off the roots and go into rockwool cubes part What size rockwool cubes? How to you "go into them" - sorry for all the q's - but I really what to make this work!~

I am able to take clone cuttings and using my ez cloner-type machine get great starter roots growing off the shoots at about 2 weeks. If I go to soil there is no problem, of course. My question is if I wanted to use these cuttings in a hydro system. What do the roots attach to? Right now, in...

nice I assume you have a filter of some sort on the air intake at the bottom?

well, you don't NEED much - true - but if you want a decent yield in terms of size, wight, density of bud and make it worth your time, then yes, spending a little extra for good quality soil and nutes is worth it. FF Happy Frog and Ocean Forest is a good mix - and you don;t need any nutes for...

The closet is painted flat white and I have mylar I'll put up for better reflectivity. I have one 4 foot T5 and it sounds as if I buy two more I should be fine thanks

I am starting a small closet (4 x 2) area to hold clone mothers (~6) and starter clone cuttings. I was planning on using a 400w MH i have - but think it's too much light AND heat for this few plants and Florescent would be a better way to go. I am wondering how little light I need? 4feet x...

A grower friend suggested I switch from my 400W MH light to a 4" x 6 bulb T5 florescent light. I am currently using one MH 400 W bulb in the Veg room (4 x 4 grow tent), which should produce around 36,000 lumens (according to bulb manufacturer) If I purchase a 4" by 6 bulb florescent fixture...

well, check the ph of the soil, for one thing.

what do you think the problem is? Maybe a bit droopy - under watered - don't really see anything else.

still interested to hear about the nutes....

ok, thanks! I'll keep going. I agree - I maybe watering too much. The noobies curse - doing too much "but if I do nothing they can't get along w/o me!" - They done ok w/o me for thousands of years....

I am able to grow from seed successfully, and am now trying clones. The process i use is from Jorges book: 1. Trying both rockwool and grow cubes (peat-like pellets I like these for seedlings) - both immersed in water- rockwool has ph adjusted. Placed in grow tray - tray does not have any...

If it's just a few leaves and most of the leaf is fried I usually remove it.

looks like a nute def - best I can tell (need the pics to be in focus for me to tell) Look at the threads on diagnosing plant probs. Also needs the std Qs answered: Plant strain, indoor, out, hydro or soil, age, nutes, etc

understood - I'll try the flush

given the soil I'm using (Foxfarm OF and HF) and Grow big and Big bloom nutes, and no other plant shows it I'm having a hard time seeing Mag Def.
