hey folks. currently growing ak47 / lowryder 2, sprouted them on Dec 3rd in soil and things arnt exactly going to plan.They were started under 250w hps and from the 3rd week in they went under 400w hps.
Well one of my 2 plants is much smaller than the other with her being in a smaller pot and she isnt looking bad, buds have formed nicley and not too far from finishing. But with my bigger plant which is in a bucket is struggling to finish budding, lots of buds and the colas was looking decent until she suddenly took a major hault in growing a few weeks back. She has been flushed but no sign of a rapid recovery and she is plodding along slowly.
\
My questions are 1 about a metal halide 250w bulb, if i get one of these for my next grow (which will deffo not be autos) for vegging will that keep my leaves in better health for longer? because with the hps i just seem to be killing them way too fast and the plants are struggling to finish with lack of foilage.
Another is about soil, i just used multi purpose bought from a local garden centre along with perlite and not sure if this soil is doing the job for my weeds?
One of my grows was done with john innes soil which seemed to be decent enough and i wasnt getting the troubles im getting now.
Sorry about the essay but if someone can chuck us some pointers il be grateful and + repping!!
