hey guys, Captain Acid here,
im a new grower and i was looking foir some professional advice in this forum... i hope i dont sound too demnading...But here it goes :P
THE INFORMATION:
i started growing 2 plants with a 300w cfl, (i was new to this and on a budget).
so a week has passed and after intense researching i figured cfl wasnt the way to go for me, seeing that i have to keep the light soo close and the yield wasnt what i was looking for. beause if i have to farm for 3 months i better do it properly ahhaha.
these 2 plants im growing are already a week old and my seeds will arrive after tomorrow or the day after...AND MY HPS will arrive in atleast 3 working days.... (today is a saturday)
so i ordered a 600w hps with a riflector and SONLIGHT Digital Ballast 4D...AND 4 more seeds xD.
im looking to add 2 more seeds for a total of 4 baby girls <3.

Here comes the question!!!

seeing that my 2 plants are already 1 week old and itl take me atleast 3 to 4 days MAX to start germinating my 2 new girls... how do i handle the vegging ?
Do i let them have a 2 week difference or 1 and a half (depending on when i get the seeds)?
is it okay if the first 2 plants veg for 2 weeks longer than the new ones?
my schedule was 4 to 5 weeks vegging then straight to flowering,,, but now that i have these new plants, if i let them veg for 4 weeks my older plants will have to veg for 5 to 6 weeks...as i only have 1 grow room. is that okay?
id like to know some profesisonal opinions on the matter...like i said IM NEW TO THIS and maybe i didnt explain myself well enough or left out important details.. please let me know :)
Lets throw seeds and not Bombs! :P

Its ok when plants have veged for different amount of time. The older plants will of course be bigger than the younger ones but other than that its fine.

so its fine right? perfect! one last doubt on my mind...
basically one of the week old plants is not actually a week old xD, because one of my babies was deformed and came out of the seed funny and died,,, and my friend was growing out door and the weather here in wonderland was abit bad and plus a bird bit the head xD, so he asked me to grow it... from when took it i fed her nutrients and she looks good now... but apparently she is nearly a month old but is soo tiny! But growing lots of leaves, basically my week old is abit taller :p.
MY QUESTIONS IS:
should i grow and additional 3 for a total of 5? just incase this plant dies on me?
as in is 600w hps enough to handle 5 plants? or should i just stick with 4?


I have 600w hps with a riflector and SONLIGHT Digital Ballast 4D, mylar all around the grow box,
plus all the nutrients and soil around how many ounces could i pull out? i know the avarage is 1/2gram per watt,, so that should be about 300 grams... but seeing all the nutes and care could i pull out slightly more?

You can keep a plant in veg for as long as you like. Mother plants are for clones and never are allowed to flower.

PERFECT, my ballast has a regulator, so i can regulate 250w to 400w to 600w and to super lumens!....
is it okay if i put the first 2 under the 600w hps by themselves on their second week as i wait for the other 2 to grow on their second week?
or while they are 2 plants bring my hps down to like 400w or 250w?

OMG LED was the way i wanted to go! i was about to buy a 1200w led... for about 180 dollars, but found out it actually pulls 270w xD, The good ones are soo fucking expensive man, but the outcome is insane

270 on 1200 fucking sucks!! I started with 2 lights that were 175$ each ( at the time ) they're holding up good. My next purchase will be Cree LED. I'll post pics of the ones I use now Hydrogalaxy 5w chip . I just flipped on the 14th too.
