Hello everyone


Im growing 3 northern lights feminised seed 12/12 from seed. My setup (pics below, sorry about the angle) is an old 5 drawer chest 57h 26w 13 d
Im using a 400 watt cooltube hps light
a 100 cfm intake fan and a 220 cfm outtake with filter
Im using dwc from stealth hydro and their nutes
my ph is 6.3 and water temp is 68
Any comments or advice for a first time grower and believer
in 12/12 growing will be much appreciated IMG_0316.jpgIMG_0305.jpgIMG_0309.jpgIMG_0312.jpgIMG_0313.jpgIMG_0314.jpgIMG_0315.jpg

Everything looks good cawman.I like the stealthyness of the chester drawer.The only tip I have is maybe you could use mh bulb or some 6500k,5000k cfls instead of the hps for the first month of 12/12
or until stretch phase is over.The blue spectrum is good for veg growth,stem strength and tighter node spacing.The red spectrum helps induce flowering.
GL.peace

thank you

  • B166ER420 for the tip. im really limited depth wise thats why I went 12/12. Im worried about bushiness and changing from 12/12 hps to mps bulb that i do have. Do you think it will harm it or grow it wider than i can handle?

I was running 6am to 6pm yesterday I shut off the hps bulb at 3 and switched to the mh bulb at 10pm and Im gonna let it run till 6 and go right back to 12/12. theres some new leaves forming and the stalk seems to be widening.

Short and bushy is a good thing for us indoor growers.More light to more budsites.Growers switch from mh to hps all the time,no issues there.I don't think you'll have any issues with it being too wide,I haven't heard anyone complain their plant is too wide and bushy:).You can always lst,supercrop or tie it up,but we'll tackle that runner when it gets here:).You say you have a high pressure sodium bulb(hps) and metal halide(mh).Use the hps the entire first grow,then use your mh the next and compare growth rates.To get the most out of a 12/12 from seed,you should use a mixed spectrum with a higher blue spectrum(6500k,5000k)during veg stage or until growth/stretch stops,then use a mixed spectrum with higher red spectrum(2700k,3000k)for flowering



Btw....What doesn't kill you,only makes you stronger.Good luck with chemo treatments.I hope everything is on the upside for you.GL.peace

hello everyone
I have a question I was hoping for some help or input. Pic number 3 from above looks good.
Its had a hard life.I had my lights too high at first and it literally grew out of the rockwool.
Luckily I was checking on them constantly and broke the rockwool apart and put it back in.
It looks Ok I guess but the main stem is curved right above the rockwool and im worried about
whether to continue to grow and hopefully right itself or try to fix it. Any insight would be great.thanx

I got them from SeaofSeeds from the breeder "Female Seeds". She has gotten a lot larger than I thought she would! She's maybe only 13" tall but the main cola is filling in quite nice. I have another one in a smaller pot that isn't quite as dense, but is still looking decent.
Here is a picture of the other one that is about a week behind the bigger one.

afraid to touch it heres the top picIMG_0319.jpg
