This is just to start them. I like to use fluorescent for the start. It provides the best roots, and the most compact early growth. They will be switched to a grow tent. Then a bigger reservoir will be used. No hydrotons tho. I put the root plugs straight into tiny 2 inch net pots, and grow them out. An extra stage is a waste of time, and autos are all about speed. When I switch them over, they will be under LED for the remainder of the grow. I am thinking 18/6 with a 400 watt Apollo Horticulture 5w diode. Then using a light mover once they are big enough.
I welcome any questions about my growing, and general plant knowledge. That is what this site is for.
