First grow about 2 1/2 months old still vegging

Ckingbudz87 · Mar 8, 2020

I just wanted to start a thread to receive feedback and tips from more experienced growers how do they look? My lighting is a mixture of CFL and led

I have red wigglers in my no-till. Worms are good.

I'm just worried about how much room you have for the stretch. Plan for them to at least double in height until you get to know the strain.

GL on your grow first of all . T5 grows are done with pretty good results , but over a foot from light the effectiveness drops off significantly. You can bring them well within a foot of plants without much issue , also they really don’t put out very much heat.
So your grow environment will have to adjust for that.

I would LST , Supercrop , top to SHAPE the canopy. And do it now.
Are you going to change to ( 3000k bulbs or 5000 ) for flower ?

Either way try for an even canopy and tie down as needed.

Those plants are small for 2.5 months, I think you would benefit from more light.

Ckingbudz87 · Mar 8, 2020

They been topped a couple times as of now I just did some tying down a few hours ago how do they look on and here are my lights too

When I transplant them they were a tad bit root bound I'm hoping the new root space in the buckets will get them going good hopefully they start bulking up a bit now is my plan anyway

Those aren't CFL bulbs. cfl are the curly bulbs you find in lamps..those are florescent tubes. What kind of tubes? To me they look like t8 or t12s. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I would definitely prune out the tiny branches/shoots on the bottom 2/3 of the plant.

Get rid of the t8s and switch up to t5s, they put out 2x the lumen
