125w in wardrobe

definately

unless you can cram all 3 plants into a 2sq.ft. area lol

50w psf of HID... that number for fluoro is definately going to be higher but the exact amount is debateable / dependent on the type of fluors you use

i try to keep a minimum of 80 psf with fluors, curently just over 100.. not to say that less wont work, but more will be better

[rastagal]

and I thought this was going to be easy ....LOL

thanks for all the help, im still trying to process.
Ive learned over the last few days that my plant needs nitrgoen also.

I thought I could just stick seed in pot, and wait.

How innocent was I?

Nuff Love

lol yep... not only nitrogen, either

ferts have 3 numbers, corresponding to an n-p-k ratio - nitrogen phosphorus and potassium

you want a fert that is high in n for now, but a week or 2 after you switch the lights to flowering, you want ferts that are high in p and k

and for the last 2 weeks, no ferts at all, plain water to wash the ferts away, fan leaves will yellow off at this point, completely normal - this means the plant is using nutes from its vegetation, and not the soil, flushing all those excess nutes out of the soil/plant will make your end result smoother and tastier :thumbsup:

i would suggest fox farms grow big for now and big bloom for flowering, or earth juice grow and bloom... stick to the organics if ya can, the better the food, the better results

Hi again, Im using daimond nectar, dosent actually say whats in it tho!! says i using it results in higher yilds!! earlier harvests enhances flavours fragrance and oils.....
its organic too.
:rasta:

[mightymarijuanabuds]

there has GOT to be an npk ratio on it somewhere... all ferts do

the rest of that is a bunch of marketing BS.. proper care (which includes proper feeding) will result in all of that too

[mightymarijuanabuds]

OH.. heres why

diamond nectar is not a fert! plus it is made for hydro systems! if you want... use a very small amount of it... but what you have is just humic acid... it is made to AID in the uptake of nutes, but you definately dont need it

this is from the general hydroponics website :

" DIAMOND NECTARâ?¢
Liquid Premium Organic Humic Acid

Despite the low level of nutrients found in natural soil-based environments, plant growth nevertheless occurs because the smallest humic acids channel available nutrients directly into nearby vegetation. By accelerating nutrient absorption at the root boundary zone where minerals enter the plant, small particle sized humic acids optimize nutrient uptake in fast growing vegetation. Diamond Nectar applies the magic of the smallest available humic acids to nutrient rich hydroponic environments by grabbing these nutrient minerals and transporting them into plant roots for faster growth and higher yields. Diamond Nectar supercharges your nutrients in order to optimize the health of your plants and the quality of your crops.

Due to the natural nature of this organic product, variations in color may occur. Be assured each batch of Diamond Nectar is tested for consistent quality and results you can count on. "

you are using soil, so you need soil nutes ... if you dont have a local grow shop check out www.thegrowstore.com and get yourself some fox farm, earth juice, or biobizz ... remember you want 2 bottles , grow AND bloom

oops, bloody hell, thanks for that, I could have killed my baby!!!
I have a local garden center locally, I'll go over and see if they have anything.


I got all the hydro stuff, cos Im waiting on aerofarm, I just thought it would be okay for soil.
So, something with npk nit, poss, phos? yes?

Ok, think I got that!
thanks, you're a life saver.

nuff love, Rasta

[mightymarijuanabuds]

yep thats right

its all good.. .we're here to help

for reference, here are the npk ratios on fox farms nutes

grow big (veg) : 6-4-4

tiger bloom (optional, flowering) : 2-8-4

big bloom 100% organic (flowering) : 0.01-0.3-0.7

the numbers themselves arent too important, just the ratio they appear in... high N for veg, high P & K for flower... any garden center will have grow and bloom ferts that will work for ya, just maybe not the ones i have mentioned

[rastagal]

you're a sweetheart thanks a million for spotting that I was using wrong stuff. whw!
I went to garden center today and got food called baby Bio, it 10.6. 4.4. 1.7

I also bought a small oscillating desk fan.
Now I just need patience, its like watching a pot boil. I keep running in to peek at it. LOL
