haze x5 in tent

[masterg]

hi people, i have got some haze x5 cuttings (never done this breed befor)

.now they are about 12-15 inches tall now, is it a good height too click to 12/12?

and i got them in square meter trays, is it better to water from top or from bottom of pots?

and... e.g if i had 2 600watt lights on an temp was 27c or i cud give them another 600watt light so 3 600's, but it made it 30+c wat would be better for them?

thanx.

2x 600w hps is enough, ofc better with 3 but u want to keep it under 30-31..

12-15" is nice enough of hight, have u checked for preflower? If it has this u are 100% ready to start flowering! u can start flowering even if they havnt shown, it would be ok.


edit: About watering from top/bottom, what soil/coco are u using?

personally i always water from the top.. cant seem the harm in that..

thanx 4 quick reply Jebus

i am using canna terra soil, in 11ltr square pots, with a litre of hydro rocks in the bottom of pots.
i use the advanced nutrients range, sensi grow an bloom, big bud, hammerhead and shooting powder at the end.

any ideas wat i would roughly yield per plant ifi click them over now?

thanx.

No one can tell you how much you will yield. There are tons of factors that go into a yield...

[jebus89]

true its hard to tell.. but i went 12/12 with some critical mass and more when only at 10" high. they are about 80cm now, week 3 1/2, so prolly wont be any bigger but thats just fine with me kinda the high i was going for.. they grew about 2-5cm every day for the first 3 weeks

2x 600w is a lot of light for 5 plants. 3x 600w would be ridiculous. 1x 600w would be just fine.

If more light = more growth is true wouldn't three be better as long as the temps are kept down? Keeping temps down in a small space would be hard though...

Is it really possible to give em too much light without overheating the plant?

[bigsby]

The addition of light is affected by the law of diminishing returns. If you put in a 1,000w light you would certainly see benefits over a single 600w. 2x 600w is overkill, and 1,800w is unnecessary and probably dangerous.

I would just use 600w and be done with it. It's only 5 plants! Better use would be to get a second tent for mothers and vegging so that you are running a tent dedicated to flowering.

hi peepz.
we have a mis-read here lol
the cuttings are called haze x5 (haze times 5)
ive got 12 under 2 600's, but was gonna do 3 600s but its would be above 30c, so probly best to stick with 2 600's?
