I had an earlier thread called new grower unique plant and i wanted to show how my plant was doing and my closet setup right now. So before i was confused with my plant because it only had three fingers on every leaf, but now it has finally started growing five and is about 2 feet tall. so now i think it was because of my lighting because i just had some cheap lights. I still do have cheap lights but i know more about lumens and color temp. I recently got some hps lights but still need a ballast.
So i have aluminum foil over my walls for reflection Im still trying to find a local store that has cheap mylar.
I just got this double bulb flourecent grow light from my buddy. The bulbs are 5800k.
Then i have a 150 watt cfl, 40 watt cfl, Two 120 watt flourecent bulbs, and one 120 watt halogen.
I have a decent thermometer It has a sensor that runs down into my closet so i can have the main part outside the closet.
My temp is at 75F degrees and drops to 62F at nap time. My humidity is at 44 percent.
And i have a frying pan to hold the excess water from the pot.
I also just tied down the plant at different spot to spread it apart so every part is getting light.
I have a crappy 5 dollar soil ph meter thats telling me my ph is about 6.2 I dont trust it too much.
For nutes i use this local guys. Right now im using what he recommends for the vegetation stage but i add a tiny bit every few weeks as the plant gets bigger.
Any advice you guys have for me would be appreciated. also i added a half table spoon of molasses to my gallon of water. i donno if this will do any good during the vegetation stage but i hope it will bulk up the plant.
I think im gonna wait till the plant has majority 5 fingers until i switch to the flowering stage. what do you guys suggest?
