My first LED garden! What to expect in future?

One question; If I were to aim for 7oz, how tall would these plants have to be in Inches? They sprouted from soil 8.5 weeks ago I messed up the light initially but the current light they're under has been in place for 4.5 weeks before that it was less light. Is it correct that they'd double the size in flower so if 17inches now 34 by the end of flower stage?

Thanks in advance

Hello Gents,

Is this okay growth for a first time grower? Plant is 17inches. It got massive nitrogen burn along with the rest 10 days ago so I flushed them with lots of water and they sort of came back to life. Also had to lollipop a lot of dead leaves a handful from each plant. Seeds are from Barneys; 2 x Skunk # 1- 2 x Pineapple Chunk and 1 x LSD (runt, will probably retire)


I want to flip them for fowering stage in 7 days. How much yield can I expect with 600 watts of LED with 4 plants under it? Currently they are under 300watt led. Will appreciate any feedback

Thanks for reading.

Thank you, I hope so!

I'm sorry, but it's just silly to be counting your ounces before they've even hatched. Spend your time and energy on something you can control. Like how happy you can make these plants. They're depending on you for survival. Talk with them, pay attention to them. Get them some modern COB lighting, or maybe Quantum Boards if those devices prove themselves.

There's so much marketing. Everyone's trying to sell their expensive fertilizers. If you're gonna stick with soil, look up ROLS. A handful of dolomite lime every once in a while, some organic tomato and vegetable fertilizer, toss in some neem meal and/or kelp meal, etc., maybe try a few compost teas. Nothing fancy or super-expensive. I agree with higgs - avoid that Miracle-Gro "time release" stuff.

I think Olive Drab is onto something when he mentioned anaerobic. Can you set those pots so that excess water escapes freely?

I'm not a fan of flushing. I did it once and caused more problems than I had beforehand.

There's no way to know how much they'll stretch when you go to flower. Genetics as well as environmental.

Are you doing anything to monitor/control pH? If you're using tap water, do you know anything about the quality? Some people say they don't worry about disinfection byproducts, but utility distribution lines can have hot spots.
