Indoor Scotty's hydro garden

[NorthernLights_420]

Well I usually start em under a cfl reflector in the bedroom walk in but fucked the 14000k bulb n forgot to get a new one. Got a 2700k one there but it’s shit for starting them so thought I’d try it upstairs... won’t be doing that again till summer lol

I start all my autos under a 4 bulb high output T5. I can stack 4 under this light. Usually keep them vegging under the t5 anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks before they go under the 1000 watt high pressure sodium for flowering. I got 3, 5 week old plants still under the T5 and showing preflowers on all 3 and they are still loving the T5 light so I shall let them go another week under it before I add them under the 1000 watt. Then I raise the T5 higher for additional lighting in flower. They All love the extra light and its cheap to run. Eventually I want to upgrade my lighting system to autocobs. That shit costs money that I dont got right now though. Just keeping the bills paid for the grow to run is quite expensive which is why i eventually want to switch to autocobs so I save money on electricity

Yeah I hear you there mate. I'm a fiver a day currently for leccy and it's set to almost double in 6 weeks or so. Gonna try some form of quantum board though. Was on gc for a while there (shite hole don't go!) But lots of guys pulling 2gpw awith the qbs there. Even saw a guy pull a 1lb auto in organics with them! How in the name of all things ganja do you pull a pound feeding nout but water????
With quantum boards!!! Crazy good gear lol

I need to get a new phone like. This is an absolute nightmare trying to update on this thing.
Anyway, here's what's been happening.
Gave the photos a week in their new hempy homes and they seem to be doing well from it.

Today is day one of 12/12. Cmh now upto 600w and bollocks I've just realised I forgot to raise it. I'll remember in a few days when they start frying most likely.
Think the back plant is the edge and the 2 front ones are the amnesia haze but honestly lost track and they look really similar. Been feeding nutes at 750ppm ph5.8 which I'll put upto 1000ppm for the next while till the stretch is over.
I'll give them another defol over the next couple days and do some more lollipopping. They're a bit overcrowded at present and it's giving me the fear lol.

The fast buds lemon ak which is just taking forever to fatten up. Not liking the cold unfortunately. Risks of growing in the attic with no tent though.

And last but not least the 10 or 12 day old seedlings that just haven't budged
Also due to the cold. I'm just gonna pull 2 of them and put them into the third pot and see what the 3 of them can do in a 3gal fabric in the 12/12 room.
You'll also see some dead cuttings there. I took about 6 from various places to see if any would work and 1 did. Yaaay. the only 1 that wasn't in direct light. Was completely shadowed by the auto ak. Also the only one i never trimmed the leaves on So gonna try it again just to see if It was a fluke.

I'm running 1 of these the ish pro 265w, good lights but only criticism is the spread for me, they should be spaced further apart in my opinion as I'm running 2 plants so 1 under each board would be ideal but I can't get the centre of each board in the centre of each plant, I think this is a better set up which you could do yourself buying the single boards on a single slate, also I think they are a sponsor on thctalk and give 10% discount, also make sure you get the B type meanwell driver instead of the A if want to dim it as pain in the ass to use a screwdriver to do it!

Go for it mate! Can't really knock them in terms of customer service etc, not sure if you could get an oversized driver ,(or if that even works as know nothing about electrics lol) for if you wanted to add another later, you using for Veg or whole grow?
