Indoor 2nd on going DubV grow- Fruit, SAD-1, Critical Jack, RR#2, and auto bomb

[DubV]

Ok guys I just potted 4 new seedlings of Fruit, SAD-1, Critical Jack, Roadrunner #2, and auto bomb. The auto bomb hasnt popped yet but I am still hopefully. All seeds were germed in jiffy pots and transplanted in 2 gallon air pots with my standard mix of promix, worm casting, sea kelp, greensand, bone meal, blood meal, and perlite. This grow will be under 4 125w cfl's with 2 6500k bulbs and 2 2700k bulbs so it basically full spectrum. I plan on getting my new 357 magnum led and replacing the cfl's right after xmas.

Also as a side note the concrete mixing tub they are sitting in makes a great overflow tray for a closet grow since it fits perfectly in a closet. Also these make great flood trays as well with a little modification and can be had at any home depot for $12....

Unfortunately my auto bomb didnt germ properly so I started another today. This is actually the first seed I have had not germ from attitude and in jiffy pots from a total of over 75 seeds! So I guess I was due for a bad one....

is the sad the auto version?

Sniper yes it is buddy. Both my current grows are all auto's. I am planning a photo grow this feb with white widow, pineapple chunk, lemon skunk, L.A. Confidential, and purple wreck though as soon as one of my auto closets is finished...

Nice setup. I grow under LED using a Pro Mix based mix similar to yours. If you don't have some already, I'd suggest having a bottle of cal/mag and some PK13.14 on hand. It's pretty common to run into deficiencies of both growing autos under LED using Pro Mix.

Muddy,
I currently use general organics and have plenty cal/mag on hand but unfortunately my dishwasher blew up yesterday so now my new led has to be put on hold for a little while longer so this will be a straight cfl grow to the end. I am definitely disappointed but 4 125watt cfl's with 2 6500k and 2 2700k going at the same time for a full spectrum I should get a decent yield but only time will tell. I do know I have to be more careful with the nutes since the cfl's dont put as much strain on the plants like an led does but time will tell buddy.....

Muddy, How hot do the LEDS get.? can you position much closer than hps?

DoctorT,
I currently have another grow going that uses a magnum 357+ led and it really depends on the led itself. Since mine is an 11 spectrum I have the ability to switch on the fly in between blue(veg), full spectrum(flower and veg), and red(flower). Each spectrum for me has a different temp blue being coolest at around 76 degrees and full and red around 82 degrees. The distance will be based on the strength of the led itself and something you will have to adjust based on stress on the plants but 25" above the canopy is standard for mine in all phases but as I said this will be different with all led's based on spec and design. I hope that helps!
