Started Under T5 ,So not much I could do about that ,started before I got light.But there growing brilliant these plants now.Think it will make a big Difference,with the Stronger light been in there.Gonna keep it at this height for today, then drop it down.Once they get used to been under it.3 Francos Lemon Cheese and 2 Bloody Skunk Autos.They will be left under this Light until they are done from now on.The Francos Lemon Cheese ,moved over to the HPS room ,once the Skunks done .The room needs a good clean before they go in.The Cob is also going in tent .20181026_171615-001.jpg

Gone with the Chart that come with the Light, 18 inch been a good Height for the spec of light i want for veg.Really impressed with the Quality of the Lights build very nice unit .Runs very Low cost and not much heat around the same has the Mars Led .I Think my Girls are going to love this Light.I have checked these daily,since i spotted the Thrips,but think i may have caught them.But will keep treating.I bought some SMC Plus,so have been misting with this,i do this every other day.Just has a preventative measure.The 2 at the back are the Auto's The Bloody Skunk,I Hoping on getting at least one Purple Pheno from these two.They will be in the tent by the start of the new week,They need putting in bigger pots,Some people say that you should start Autos in the same pot your going to Flower them in,I have grown loads of Auto's for Outdoors,started in Pots ,then put straight in fabric pots .Never had any Problems with them .So this is what i will do with these.The FLC are really starting to grow now,they seem to be bigger each day,You only have to look at Journal photos to see the difference.Even in a few day,Really looking forward to these.

This Picture was taken 7 days ago ,Just Shows how fast a Set of Good beans can grow in a short time.With the Right Nutrients Levels 0.5 /1.1 ec,Nothing other than just Canna a/b and Spring water.The FLC,On the Left on its own ,was planted about 2 days later .The smallest will be ditched and the best two kept for the main grow under the hps lights ,20181019_134145.jpg

FFS Looking at this Photo makes me think how can this room be so good for vegging,the plants love it.I have had this unit now for well over 7 year.and its still going good.It has a shelf that slides in where the tube is on the back wall ,where i used to do my clones.Its been a great little unit.But gotta build something new soon,Or i have been thinking about getting one of the small Bloom boxes,They seem perfect for vegging,Not to much height but nice floor size.Near enough the same size has this is.Think its about time for a new garla tray has well .This one has seen better days

Not trying to be rude but is there a reason why you aren't lining the floor with mylar or some other reflective material?

What would be the point of having reflective material under the canopy? What kind of benefits do you think it would provide?

In theory, any light that misses the canopy could reflect off the floor, bounce off the walls, and perhaps a small amount may actually make to the leaves.... enough to matter? Probably not.

No use in a few week no light will get to the floor dude,I grow them big,There is enough light in there without the floor been done.But it is done in black and white Polly ,but not for any reflective purposes ,more to stop any water leaks.Before i added Garla Tray.If the plant looked stretched then i might ,think about that.But the nodes on these are tight on all the plants i do are all ways vegged nice.Been using it like this for years.In 2 week 3 week max,they will be going under HPS Lights the FLC ,The others in a tent,But still with a tray under them,There really is no need for it .Well there is if your using a cfl on its own but there is enough light in there.The only thing wrong in the room at the minute Equipment wise is the light is too high ,needs lowering a bit ,so its around 8 inch of the plant tops.And that will be done today.And Both Auto's will be put in there Final Pots in a few more days,I'm going with the normal Fabric pots i use.Most of the growth you see here is stripped off them ,After they go into flower room.I do a scrog under hps and the tent so ,take any growth off that does not get good light,i hate fluffy weightless buds that are a pain in the arse to prune up.and end up with next to nothing on them.
