the water level should be around 2 inches below the bottom of the net pots, and you should not start quarter nutes until you see the first set of leaves.

Hey littlejon.yeah every thing fine but dnt put the 5 in make it 3.give the roots more room,and obviously more growth,and yield as plants will get more nuts and so on.keep your ph 5.5 to 5.8s if you can mate .all gravy then lol

i would like to do that but i dont have anough room and light to spread the plants out like that,well,i have the room just not the light.i plan on getting another 400 but thats in the future.i will keep the plants a little small.i will let them get a full 2 weeks for rooting to get a good root system going then i will veg for 2 weeks then flower for 8 weks.im shooting for at least 12 ounces from 10 plants,this shouldnt be to hard to achieve,i hope.i use my bud for meds for my chrones disease and need 1 ounce a week
