Autopots with think different in ecothrive lite coco

[Rustynutz]

Oh right thanks for that.. Il have a look! Always a nice touch to save some money especially if I can do so with good results.

So the babies are heads up now just about shell still over the cotyledons and they are under a 100w daylight bulb. Just wondering when would be the right time to give them some strong lighting? Thanks in advance for any advice

Il add some pics when I get a chance I'm working right now.
So I'm using a budget 600w hps
5inch extract fan and filter set up for passive ventilation
2 x 6inch oscillating fans.
Using ecothrive coco in 15l autopots
canna coco range of nutes
All inside a 1.2m x 1.2m x1.8m tent

no problem thats a good start is the 100w bulb a cfl or led ? id say you can leave them under that light for a week even two then when you put them under the 600w just hang it high up and lower it as the plants get bigger

It's just a household led bulb it actually draws a pathetic 12 Watts or somewhere around that but didn't want to burn them as I was thinking it was maybe the light that kept the last lot so small aswel

yeh there a bit hit and miss all depends on the brand etc the Philips ones are not too bad you can wire them together and make a decent little veg lamp
iv started seeds with a 600w hps before like i said just put it at the top of the tent watch the seedling if there getting leggy drop it down i take it you have a non dim able ballast

Yes it's non dimmable for now I will upgrade after this harvest. I'm thinking of adding a mars hydro ts1000 in flower too

600w hps will be plenty for flower in my opinion you would be better off saving up your money and getting two GN telos006s i use the T008s
great lights theres also lumatek zues and sanlight thats where my money would go
