No worries. It does look like I'm running green lights, but it's all the fault of my dumb phone camera. It's nice to know that about the Dark Devil strain though. I was getting worried as the other two plants are really taking off and the Dark Devil is barely growing. I'm going to keep in mind...

Why would I be running a green light? Like I said before, that's my camera. Don't know why it's doing that though. It must not like the MH light.

72 is just the temperature that my tent is at in the basement. It'll have to do for now I guess. Does it usually take a while for autos to grow upward when they're initially planted in their final containers? It just seems that other people have much bigger plants at 8 days. Usually seems too...

That's a relief. It's my first grow, so I'm trying to get a routine down. Everything has been going great so far, I just didn't know what was up when I saw the lime green leaves on only on seedling.

I popped some seeds last week and so far they've been doing great. As soon as they broke the soil, I put them under two 64w t12 hoods for a day or two. Then I put them underneath my 600w MH. Ever since I've put them under the MH, they've been rocketing with growth. So I have a TD in a 5 gal...

How do you guys feel about roots organics and technaflora?

Yeah. I wasn't planning on starting out at maybe the 3rd or 4th node and starting at 1/8 or 1/4 strength since I'm using FFOF. And then I'd increase the dosage depending on what it seems like the girls want. The go box just seems like the cheapest, quality line I can get at the moment. Unless...

Those look pretty sweet. I'm seriously contemplating the go box now. I can get it at my local hydro shop for $25 and they always throw me a 10 or 20% discount.

And for autos, you usually give them a cut dosage at first, right? Do you guys even give autos veg nutes generally?

I'm getting ready for my first grow (tent and seeds should be here in a few days) and I'm unsure about nutes. I'm going to be growing in 3/4 FFOF and 1/4 perlite. What kind of nutes do you guys use and what kinda amounts do you usually feed them?

Alright. I'll go with a 600w MH then and toss the 400w. Is the side lighting pointless? Or would it at least have a little effect?

ghb were you running it on 100% or did you lower the power when it was running super hot?

Alright, I'm gonna give a little background before my question. I just bought a lumatek 600w Ballast, a sunleaves air cooled reflector, and a 6" can fan all for $200 from someone on Craigslist. (Pretty good deal) The guy threw in a 600w HPS bulb and a 400w MH bulb. My question is: Should I...

What's up RIU community? I've been lurking for the last couple of weeks reading up on growing the good stuff and have finally decided to post. I'm looking forward to learning a lot more and maybe one day be on the level that all of you experts are on. I'm expecting to post some great pictures...
