Lighting This time around...

[wild1]

Hi everyone,
So as a few of you know my first grow was a disaster So i have been thinking what to do differently this time. This is the setup i have planned:

1 x ViparLED 600w

1 x 4x4 Budda Tent

1 x 16" Carbon filter

6 x Autopot 8.5L

1 x Small Oscillating Fan

1 x Hanging kit

2 x 50L Plant Magic Plus supreme

6 x Dutch Passion Auto Fem Blueberry

1 x Heater with temp control

1 x EC Pen

2 x Plant Magic Nutes (Old timer i think)

10000000 x Help from AFN members :tiphat:


Ok so the plan is to germinate in the soil by putting the seed in the pre watered soil and put some cling film over so keep them moist until they are about 1" high. Now for the questions... the last time i wasn't 100% sure about the distance i should have the 600w LED away from the seedlings? If i am germinating straight in the soil how far away should it be? Another thing... Has anyone used Plant magic soil with an autopot system ? Would it be ok?

Im going to do a 20/4 light system this time instead of the 24/0.

Any help would be appreciated!

Peace out

I'm currently using PM Oldtimer nutes and the PM soil supreme too, running with airpots but I'm sure it will be fine with the autopots - never tried them myself but I don't see why not. I'm glad to see someone running a similar set up to me, these organics really do give a great taste from the second the bud is dry, I've found that synthetic nutes (I tried the Canna range in hydro) takes about 1/2 month cure at least to match the taste of organics straight off the bat! The only downside is that I've struggled to maximise my flowering right now due to lack of organic boosters but it's something I'll be working on - do you have a list of all the nutes you're using? Hope this run goes well for you buddy I'll stop by when I can

100% agree, organic tastes sweeter to me and I'm literally smoking 5 day dried right now and it tastes awesome.
I also had some trouble maximizing flower, I'm hoping seaweed or guano tea will sort that out.
