Hello everyone, i just have a few questions before i get started on this grow. With the size of my tent would it be safe to say i could put each plant into 25- 30ltr pots after seedling stage? im planing on doing these autos the right way (so that they will get big) so 10-12 weeks till harvesting. Will a 400w Hps be enough for the 4 autos the whole way threw the 10-12 weeks in those size pots?
Thanks for you time everyone is so helpfull on Afn its so nice to see a comuinity doing things the right way.
Also is there a need for anymore of the biobizz nutes? am i using the right ones to cover the whole grow?
Thanks

Best of luck with this grow. Ive bin told to start off in a cup while sex is determined so as not to waste all that soil on what could possibly be a male/hermy. Best wait for some one with experience to comment.

Thanks for the advice man, im going to do that and i forgot to mention they are fems so i shouldnt have a problem. Im planing on using the tiering method ( i think its called that anyway) but im going to cut the cup in half first then put the top half of that cup into another full cup (same size) so hopefully it will be easier to transplant when the time comes.

Hi Briain
What soil/medium are you growing in?
I think the 400w light will cover 4 plants. You may need to add extra light on the side once your plants fire up.
Peace

heya briain...i hope u have a nice start and a fast take off...to do that IMO its better to start them autos in the final pots if u wanna grow big...also make sure u add 30%-50% perlite in the medium for a better drainage....if u start in cups ur autos will stay small but finish hearlier, it depends from ur needs...its like they have a sensor, and when they reach the limit of the pot, growth stops and budding takes place...if im wrong there are lots of serious growers in here to correct me and tell u the right path to follow...:thumbs: :smoke:

Hi Briain,it seems uv got a decent setup to get started,im usin the Biobzz range & havnt had any big issues with it,the Q about ur light,well 1 light is a bit thin for ur size of area 600-1000 would hav been more ideal or 2 400w. but try & keep them in 1.2x1.2 area u should be good wi that. Anyway gd luck uv got the best beans so ur on the right rd my friend..:smokebuds:

Thank you for your advice man! Im going to use FullDuplex's soil recipe which is :
25lb bag of compo
18Qt Bag perlite
3 cups of Blood and bone Meal
1.5 cups of powdered egg shells
1.5 Cups of Epsom salt
1/2 cup of sea weed kelp
1 cup of powdered baby cereal

And what kind of light would you recommend that i have on the sides? Would a couple of cfls in the right lumens help or should i get another 400wt? Really apreciate the comments keep the advice coming at me i need to learn!
Thanks again man

Thanks for that advice yellowgrower i was going to start them off in there final pots but i read that my soil mix might burn them in there early stageS, now im not sure if im right or not does anyone know for sure? i would love to just plant them straight into there final pots it would make life so much easier and i wouldn't have to worry about stressing out my girls!
