[s12fever]

First of all, nah i don't know about the fert. But yea those leaves do look strange, really fat! Looking forward to seeing the end result

[noodlesqld]

if u look on that packet of thrive could u tell me the complete list of components please..... appreciate it

[s12fever]

yep um....: a few different types of nitrogen; total nitrogen 27.0%, phosphorus as Water Soluble 5.9%, potassium as Potassium Nitrate 9.0%, magnesium as Magnesium Sulphate 1.05%, Sulphur as Sulphates 0.22%, Copper as Copper Sulphate 0.005%, Zinc as Zinc Sulphate 0.02%, Boron as Sodium Borate 0.005%, Manganese as Manganese Sulphate 0.04%, iron as Chelatde iron 0.18% Molybdenum as Sodium molybdate 0.002%, maximum biuret 0.4% ........... lol god that was boring

[s12fever]

says NPK is 27-5.5-9 whatevre that means

[noodlesqld]

thanks for that man really appreciate.

one more thing thou does it have a total phosphourus and total potasuim figure on there

[noodlesqld]

ah great u beat me to the punch npk id nitrogen (N) phos (p i think lol) and patasuim is (K). that is a lil bit to high in the nitrogen content for flowering for my likeing but over all its not to bad

ohh ok, so those NPK numbers have to be lower for flowering? With that "something lift" fert i was using (1 in the brown container) doesnt say the NPK on it...any way i can tell?

[s12fever]

oh nevermind, i think its 10-4-6, so is that better for flower or veg?churs

[noodlesqld]

no i think the N is still to high i was looking around and see that the p and k need to be higher than the N as N is used to promote leaf growth and p and k are for flower growth

i just went out and got myself a 2 foot double fluro fixture and it came with 2 18 w power saving tri phoshure bulbs that are rated at 4000K, Can anyone tell me approx how many lumes these will put out.... Anyway, hopefully the ladies like it. i plan on putting the cfl's that i have around the plants for a little better light toward the bottom of the plant, as the first time i wired it up and pluged it in i noticed that not as much light is getting past the canopy
