Subbed. Dig what you have going shaggy :good:.

On the lights, I'd do 4k bulbs for veg (maybe toss a 6k in for good measure), and a 2 to 1 ratio of hps to 4k's in flower :biggrin:.

Hey Mister_D
Glad to have ya lookin' round my room.
Thank you very much for the advice!
Sounds like good route, I assume your not a real big fan of the 6K.
I am interested in trying a bunch of different mixed spectrum's with the 2 bulb hood.

Thanks again

Shaggy your cloneS look awesome those ferts seem to work real well..B

Welcome to my grow Buddler.

The nutes are kinda new to me.

I hardly understood, he was talkin' kinda fast.
Also I never heard of most of the name brands he had there!

I was just a kid in a candy store, nodding yes, and staring at all the cool stuff!!!



I used GH 3 part for a long time after AN, it worked good.

Sorry to talk/type you ear/eyes off/out.
Man today has been a crazy day..LOL

Please come back to see how it ends!

I am currently having some issues with my second room.
So the clones are still under a 2 bulb T8 fixture.
They are not growing fast under that light.
I may get a tent till I get my other room up and running.
I will keep all the wonderful people of ICMAG updated.
Maybe I can get this thing on the fast track!
They got a light feeding today,as they are not eatin' much due to the low light conditions.

Thanks for hangin' out with me here at the grow room.:tiphat:
I really want to get the undercurrent thing up and running.
Hopefully very soon!

No undercurrent.

But the show must go on!

I will update with pics of the new setup very soon!
I have been busy setting things up.

Really nice looking clones and the ballast/light deal there looks very interesting. I could see those being very popular if they last, which they hopefully will.
All those nutes confuse me. I'm a dirt+water kinda guy, but the clones look like you're getting a pretty good handle on it.

Good stuff man, thanks for sharing!

Hey all I am back!:woohoo:

Thanks for waiting around gentlemen!:tiphat:
So anyway:
I took the clones out of the low pressure aero tote.
They are now happily in some freshly mixed soil!
Compost, EWC, Peat, ect. (just ask if you want to know more)
My regular room is down, so I purchased a tent to keep things rolling!
I have taken pics, but I still need to upload them. (lazy ass!):biggrin:

I will post pics ASAP!!!

Thank you very much for the compliment!:tiphat:
I try to grow roots not VEG before flower.

The double bulb is great for mixing spectrum.
The spliter is great you can run HPS and MH on 1 ballast at the same time! (very cool)
You can also test bulb vs bulb in it.
The accuracy won't be the best but you can get a really good idea.
When I had 2 different bulbs in it, I saw 1 side of the plant grow faster than the other, ya know,even in the same container.
If you look at my first grow really careful like, you can barely see it!



Anyway they are super simple to use.
You can get away with just bloom A & B for VEG and Flower if you had to.
Then boost P and K any way you want.
Super cheap, super easy.....great results!
Do not feel like you need it all, but it does work nice as a complete system.

Stay tuned for more pics!
