Dutch Passion 4xABBs in a scrog under a GN MS0006 rebel

[dirty budster]

It's time to get another grow going. This will be my 3rd grow. The setup is similar to my previous grows but I've changed the 250W CFL to a fully rebel upgraded GN MS0006. My two previous grows can be found here:
Grow 1: 2xAM & 2xTD
Grow 2: 3xABB

SETUP
The setup will be as follows:
Tent: 60x60x120cm (2x2x4 ft) Homebox XS
Fan: TD silent 280/380m3/h running at 150V
Filter: Carbon active 300m3/h
Light: 125W 6500K CFL for the first week, GN MS0006 with 6 rebel modules for the rest.
Soil: Plagron grow-mix in 6.5L square pots
Nutrients: Hesi root stimulator, TNT complex(veg), bloom complex, phosphorus plus and botanicare cal-mag
SCROG net with 5cm squares

I really enjoyed the ABBs from my last harvest so I decided to do another run with ABBs. I put 4 seeds in a glass of water and about 8 hours later they sank to the bottom. I put them directly into the final pot in the plagron grow mix. 3 days later they all popped up above the soil. I'm hoping for 200+g from this run with the MS0006.

Here they are at day 1

One thing I was wondering, because I never used cal-mag before, is when is a good time to start adding cal-mag? Should I wait for early signs of cal/mag deficiency or start earlier? Since the grow mix is lightly pre-fertilized I normally give them plain water and root stim for the first 3 weeks before starting with nutes.

I start using cal/mag when I start giving nutes but at a lite dose at first and up it around five weeks.Calcium is very important because it aids in the uptake of nutes and keeps your ph in line also.

Thanks for the advice namvet, that sounds like a good plan. Now I just hope the cal-mag turns up, I ordered it quite some time ago.

steelrat, Duggy, thanks for stopping by. I'm really curious to see how this light performs compared to the CFL.

Your 06 will KILL your old CFL. My LED is only 120W and it's better than my old CFL.

My old CFL was a good one, too. Plug and Grow, with the ten inch u-tubes.

Got four ounces in one grow, DP starryder, all in 2L pots :

I had calmag deficiency last grow, so this grow i mixed some dolomite lime in with the compost, will be interesting to see how effective it is.

That's a really nice harvest from 2l pots.

I thought about using dolomite lime as well, I'll be following your grow to see how it works out.

Things have been pretty uneventful this far. I pour some water around the stem occasionally, the pots are still heavy but I'm not sure how far down the roots go. I have the light running 24/0 at the moment and will later turn it down to 18/6 with the LED.

Love the blueberry. 31 days in to my first and every time i open my grow room door my mouth stars to water. got my magnifying glass out to take a closer look and HOLY SHIT!!! the tryks are so packed together it almost looks like some of them have 2 and three heads on them.
good ? on the cal/mag was wondering the same thing 3 weeks in on a pineapple express. I just gave her some at 1/4 strength hope it wont burn her.
Nice set up.
