kaiten's 1st grow w/ CFL

[headshake]

Thanks for the heads up shake...I guess i'll need to pick up some tiger bloom. I didn't buy any Grow Big because I thought I was far enough into the veg state that I didn't think it would be necessary.

if you follow the FF feeding schedule you will use GB in weeks 7/8. your plants will need some N during flower, it's just minimal.

When you say unstable pH reading...how were you checking it? same temperature and what not right? and were you using litmus paper or a liquid pH test kit?

i've used two different pH meters (one being a digital one) and had readings that like to fluctuate. the digital meter was a friends and he told me that he's never seen it bounce around like it was. i can't say it's the nutes for sure, but it's something to keep in mind.

good growing!

Considering cost is an issue right now I went with a CFL set up in my closet. I also opted to use some nice bag seeds I have accumulated. I attempted to germinate about 20, but only 5 sprouted. Lights: At first I was 2x 13w CFLs, which have since been upgraded to 2x 68w and 2x 26w for a total of 11,900 lumens @ 2700K Medium: ~50/50 mix of Miracle Rating: 5
