Indoor Changed Lighting from LED to T-5

[Buds Buddy]

My LED was only 36" above the pots. Temps stay between 76 - 82 degrees. Humidity for Veg I keep around 70% & 30 - 40% during Flower. I use 4 Clip on Fans for Air Circulation & a 6" Carbon Filter for Exhaust & a 4" Carbon Filter for Intake Air. I use the 600 watt Meizhi during Veg & then turn on 7 - LED Spotlights (6-Red & 3-Blue LEDS in each light / 28 watts ea.) during Flower. I think I'm in relatively good growing conditions .... but maybe not. LMK.

I've heard good things lately about Mephisto Seeds on several websites so I will have to give them a shot.

Well I did the search on Heavyweight & it seems I'm the only one having a problem with them. I have to be doing something wrong & have to figure that out. It may be the fact that I did not pre-charge the Bio Biz as I found out about that after the seeds were planted. Like I said before, I usually grow photo's in Fox Farms & the nutes are already there so I knew nothing about the pre-charging thing. Not sure what to do at this point with what I have.
I plan to study the Mephisto stuff & learn about this Super Soil for my next grow. My photo's still have at least 6 weeks to harvest so plenty of time to learn. In the meantime I'll throw a bean in some 50% Happy Frog & 50% Bio Biz to see what happens. I had a couple people on here tell me they grow their Auto's in straight Ocean Forrest so I may as well give the mix a shot.

I think I figured out my problem & maybe it's not the lighting. But it is doing well under the T-5's so I'll leave it like that for now. But I'm pretty sure my problem was not putting any nutes in the soil prior to planting the seed. I don't think Bio Biz has enough of anything in it to even get a good start from a seed without pre-nuting it 1st. I've added nutes every other day for a week or so now & it's growing pretty good after staying only 1" tall for 3 weeks. It now has 2 - sets of 3 leaves & 2 - sets of 5 leaves (4 - nodes high) so I topped it. Still only about 4" - 5" tall but looks healthy. Grew about 3" in 7 days since adding nutes so I think I'm headed in the right direction.
Next time I pop a seed I will surely mix the Bio Biz with either Happy Frog or Ocean Forrest 50 / 50 as I think that is going to work well. Of course I wont add any other nutes for about 3 weeks since the H.F. or O.F. already have them. That should be plenty enough nutes to start a seed.
I don't expect much out of this plant since it took me so long to get it growing ... but hey, at least I learned a little something along the way & I'm sure I'll do better next time.
Not all that worried about it as my 2 photo plants are 2 weeks into flower & looking fantastic. They are really big & covered in flowers so I'm expecting a decent harvest from them. Biggest & best looking plants I've grown so far !!!
