Ok everyone this is my first journal on here. Its also my first indoor grow, though I have done numerous outdoor grows. Im using a 400W hps and 105Ws of cfls. Well anyways, im using 2 fabric pots and 1 regular. The strains im growing are 1 narcotherapy auto 1 NL X BB auto and 1 White Widow. The white widow is technically a photo according to the breeder but it goes from seed to harvest in 10 weeks. I acually wanted some opinions on this because I am growing it with 2 autos so what should I do for a light cycle? right now im doing 24/0 but my question is will this photo flower under say 18/6? Its from spliff seeds gold line and I even emailed them to check that the stats were correct and they say it only is in veg for 1 week and flowers for 9. I didnt plan on using this strain for this grow but I had a flash babylon auto that died a few days after sprouting for some reason so I wanted to fill the space and figured it would be a good test to see how this strain works. The white widow and NL X BB are both in fox farm soil and the narcotherapy is in this new soil I found called Mass Whole and Im using the master mix. It feels great and so far the narco is growing better than the others so I think I will be getting more of this soil. My flash babylon that died I had in this 420 soil which I thought was going to be great it said I just use the soil and dont even need nutes, well I think my plant died because of the soil. After I watered it for some reason it got rock hard then when it dryed it stayed really hard it was very odd. Right now im not using any nutes untill they get bigger all I have used is this powder kelp mixed into the water (you will see in the pictures that some leafs have dark spots on them which is just from the water because it turns really dark when I mix it in). For water I have been going back and forth between rain water and water I put through my brita filter then let sit out for 24 hours. Any opinions on what is better? I always felt rain water really helped my outdoor plants but could never be sure so any help would be appreciated because I have about 10 gallons saved up. My temp right now stays at about 70degrees sometimes a little lower sometimes a little higher and the humidity stay around 45-50% but usually closer to the 45 area. If theres any other questions feel free to ask and of course if anyone has any tips or things I need to change to make it a better grow please tell me. The only way to learn is asking questions and people giving me tips and info from what they know. I am not new to growing but am new to growing indoors so im sure Im not doing everything that I could so would love to hear people opinions. and Ill show a picture of my setup I have the hps roughly 1 1/2 feet or a little higher above the plants and the narco therapy has 2 cfls on it (1 45W and 1 20W) and the white widow and NL X BB both have 1 20W cfl each. do you think I have enough wattage to grow 3 plants good or is it not enough? Please let me know if there are any changes I should make to the setup.
