OK here I go again, ok Me and a friend went to go buy perlite, promix, fox farm grow big, grow bloom, and tiger bloom, I have 2 54w t5 fluorescent bulbs, I have a 24 hr timer, I have a 4'10x3x10 closet ok here is what I have in pics, plz tell me if I'm missing something and when should I start feeding, topping and does this look good?
...tho the pix are a little hard to see.. how big are the plants, and are they already in three or five gallon buckets?
Your existing lighting should be ok for the first couple/three weeks, but you'll probably have to add way more to get thru the veg. cycle, and then a bit more for flowering.
T5 high-output have a good lumens/watt ratio, and some CFL bulbs get close to Metal Halide numbers, but you should prolly pick up a couple more 54w T5s to help thru veg, then switch to a 400 or 600w HPS for flowering, if budget permits.
Make sure your ambient air temp is no higher than 78-83f, and the ph going in is 6 to 6.3, and you should be fine. You have good soil and nutes there, and if the plants are from good stock, you could (should!) see a good harvest.
give it a good 2-3 weeks on the nutes man. and ur pro-mix is a very good choice. i use it too. never had any PH prblems out of it.....well except when i was using MG and columbus city water LMAO but other than that should be good keep updating o and u gotta any ventilation in there???? a few small fans help greatlly
ok next week i'm going for an hps 600 watt ballast sys. with carbon filter, I just bought me an ac for the humidity and the tempt stay a crisp 73-76, I bought some earth juice and my water's ph is 5.8 even after i let it drip from the bottom. I had a lil chem burn but easily took care of that I am lsting 1 of my train wrecks, i tell you man this is going to be a blasts will post picks after I get the hps sys up and running.
