Grow Mediums James' first grow - DP Autoglueberry with autopots

Hey bro, they look fine at this stage, maybe just a bit smaller cause they needed a bit of extra time to shed their shell... I would keep the cups off at this point, I've never used any sort of humidity domes or humidifier actually, unless your humidity is like <20% there's no point... Also I would start your LED at 30" since it's only 80W and that should be good for first couple weeks then switch to your main light 3rd week.

The one on the left the leaf look a little curled over so I took the cup off when I got in and lowered to 30" without seeing your post Hans. Using the force it still looked nice and green the cotys had gone larger. I am happy now, just that uncertainty really. One hurdle jumped another 1000 to go

Thanks man.

Once you get through that first three weeks and turn the reservoir on you will be saying "What was I worried about?"

Good evening.

The sprouts are looking good, one is a little more stretched than the other. I have moved the LED to 25" to try and stop it. They seem to be happy enough.

Shall I wait until day 5 to change to 20/4? @Hansbricks @Sensi Jay @HemiSync @budelee that was my idea to do it at this point?

Thats kinda a judgement call,a few members leave em 24/7 till the end, i run 18/6 the whole way!!

Seems reasonable to me bro, just make sure temp is still 18c+ during lights off. I aid this by having it 12-4pm, warmest bit of the day.

I think that this is something really going for my set up is the close day/night temps. I have done quite a bit of analysis and I am going to do 20/4 12pm-4pm night time. Temps are always fairly close together.

I will post some pics in a couple of days.

Sorry if I have forgotten to tag a few people who have also had a word in my ear

I agree with budelee that it is pretty much a judgement call I have never seen hard numbers or testing that has proved one way or the other. I put mine on 24/0 from sprout to flower. When I switch the girls to flower nutes I switch the lights to 18/6.

Hi Guys,

Just been admiring Hans latest creation, amazing

Well just an update really, had first feed and the LEDs switched out for the 315cmh bulb, they have really started motoring since i changed the lights. Temp in the room 25-26° i think everything is going okay as far as i can see.

Those pics were taken earlier, day 8.

This looks promising.....

Although I've never used a 315 CMH, I've been eyeing 'em for awhile and from what others are saying, keep a close eye on distance..... Like you say, it's a powerful lamp!

Good luck
