Hello everyone. I thought I would post here to get all of your opinions before I undergo a serious decision.
I am 6 days into flowering(since the lights turned 12/12) and I was thinking about doing a few things with my plants. For example, I noticed days ago that the roots had been shooting out the bottom of my SECOND STACKED POT!!!!!!!
I honestly didn't expect this to occur so quickly and will learn for my next grow to get this part right...
Anyways, as you can see in the aggregate picture, there are two 1 gallon pots stacked ontop of each other. In the top pot, the original, I planted in a soiless mix with lots of perlite, coco coir(I think) etc. It is pretty airy to say the least.
My BOTTOM pot is Royal Gold's Basement Mix. I have had mixed feelings about this medium as I have experienced weird problems spurratically throughout this grow, although, as you can see, my style is unorthodox....
Included the pics you will see the 2 different clones I have growing. I purchased these unrooted January 20th from a medical club. Rooted, vegged, and began flower February 20th, 1 month later.
They have been under a t5 fixture and have had a few minor problems along the way... I am currently debating purchasing a 150w or 250w HPS(w/ a built in ballast sadly.) My budget is a little tight, so I am debating buying the HPS vs. another grow under the t5s I already own...
decisions decisions, but I want to expirement!
IF YOU SKIPPED EVERYTHING I TYPED...
that is ok... all that was me being stoned rambling. Simply stated, my 2 questions are, should I triple stack my pots? and will a 150w or 250w HPS be measurably better than using the 6 foot t5 bloom tubes....
OR.... my 3rd and final thought, clone the shit out of the mother plants and grow those clones initially in my bathroom under a cfl till they root. flower the mothers under a 150 or 250w hps. then take the clones and grow em and flower em simultanouesly with the mothers... Idk, I had grand ideas...
for the most part I have most essential garden items. I only lack, High intensity light, and ppm/ec pen... i got nutes and timers and spray bottles and all that other crap.. anyway enjoy da pix let me know watup
I am a little reluctant I must say, since they started to flower now and I dont want them to freak out on me....

. Try growing some, I got tomatoes, peppers, thyme, cilantro, and oregano going right now too, I love the fresh herbs as I'm a chef and I love organic products, best flavors.
