Gsc 400w Mh/Hps.

Hello everyone of RIU. Well this is my first official grow, I am not new to growing but i have also have never completed any of my previous grows. Last run i ran into a few issues 4weeks into flowering. due to lask of supplies & funds i wasnt able to provide an adequate environment for her. This time around I'm ready; I just finished adding a few new things to my cab.The Set-up:



  • 400w Mh/Hps (dimmable) w/ 6" cool tube
  • 62"X36"X20" reflective tent.
  • 165Cfm inline fan (intake) w/speed controller
  • 440Cfm inline fan (outake) w/speed controller
  • 6-8" circulation fan
  • Fox farm's complete line up. (Grow big, Tiger bloom, Big Bloom, open sesame, beastie bloomz, cha ching)
  • Botanicare (clearex, & cal mag)
  • Advanced nutrients (rhino skin, bud candy)
  • Reversed osmosis H20.

Today is day 9 since they've popped. Yesterday i adjusted the pmm from 3 to 60ppm using cal mag+. This morning i checked on them, to find that the cal mag defic. has ceased to increase. yayyyy!! but idk besides that everything is slowly growing...

Nice start!! Just subbed, will be checking in to see how everything goes best of luck mann!

I just started my babies exactly a week ago from clones, have them under a 1000 watter, dimmable ballast set to 50%, cant wait to see how they turn out!!

We should complete about same time IMO hope u get the results u wanna get!
 
I wanted to ask if anyone has any insight on whether or not I had enough space to run a Scrog? I would like to expand my yeild as much as possible. Thanks in advance.

i think you could do an amazing SCROG in that space, but i would have some new seeds or clones on the side because i think those might herm.. but hopefully not!

Yeah I thought about that so I went ahead and constructed another cab. Its about half the size of my current tent but yeah..better safe than sorry. Thank you. Do you have any experience with Scrog?

looking good very nice start. How long did it take to foil them buckets lol? Only thing i would change is the placement of ur light looks a lil to the left maybe try to center it?

thanks. yeah I can't do anything about the repositioning of my cool tube atm; due to the fact that I secured it in place with some laces I found lying around. It would be hell to say the least.
 
Today I went in to check on the little ones and found that the cotelydon leaves are yellowing and starting to brown at the edges. I guess the plant it running out of nutrients. So now its eating the cotelydon leaves? Idk. I mean my Ph is in line,same as my water and room temps.. I supplemented the water from 3 ppm, to 65 ppm last Res change using cal-mag +. The only thing I could think of was "perhaps its time for a light feed?" So I went ahead and gave her 1ml per gal of grow big (4mls total) does anyone object or disapprove? Also I noticed that the plants look different as far as the "rate of growth" is concerned, yet they were started on the same day. What gives..
