Lighting Just to check a few things...

[wild1]

Hi Everyone,
Well it's coming up to that growing time again for me so i just wanted to double check a few things with the guru's out there So the equipment...

1. Grow Tent (4x4)
2. 600W Vipar LED (5W Diodes)
3. 6 x 15L Air Pots
4. 1 x Carbon Filter
5. 1 x Tube Heater
6. 1 x Small Oscillating Fan
7. 1 x Timer (Just for the light)

Now for the soil, seeds and nutes...

100L of Plant Magic Supreme plus
6 x Heavyweight Fast and Vast
1L Plant Magic Old Timer Grow
1L Plant Magic Old Timer Bloom
350g Plant Magic Plus Granules
250ml of Plant Magic Bio Silicon
500ml of Plant Magic Root Stimulator
125ml of Plant Magic Catalyst

And using this grow schedule:

Questions:

1. Would you start this Grow Schedule after the first 2 weeks or do this straight from planting the seed?
2. I now have a proper light hanger so what is the exact distance from the light to the seed should it be set at?
3. Is there anything I have missed?

Cheers,
WilD1

There should be enough in the soil for a couple of weeks bro then when you do start to feed go in lightly, autos only need half strength at most most of the time so just be mindful. Signs your plant will give you....to stong feed the leaf tips will burn,if this happens just back off slightly....to weak feed the plants will look pale. Set up looks good just make sure the PH of the feed is around 6.5-6.6 and you will be golden.

Cheers for the advice @TaNg i'll add the PM Granules to the soil when i am potting up and then use the schedule (with half measures) 2 weeks after planting the seeds. I have also been looking into the light times and I am wondering if i should go for 20/4 this times instead of 24/0... I was just looking at one of your grows (DP Blueberry i think) and noticed one of your timers was broke or something and you had been on 24/0 since the start. I was just wondering if you prefer 24/0 now or if you are sticking to 20/4 ? I have seen some good results with @Fairlynew grows on 24/0 so yeah... my head is battered lol oh and i will be hanging the light 30cm from the light to the soil... Is this ok? (The last time i was using a few bungee cords and they are not very accurate lol)

Hello, I use 20/4 when temps permit. I think the plants like the rest. You might try using plastic wire ties to hang your light, make a chain from several.

Yeah 20/4 is the best schedule.
