New Grower First AutoFlower Grow - HPS and LED used - Grow Log - Input or Critique Welcome!

you sound like me, alway's second guessing lol. but you got a better start on the light's than me. with your tent size you could alway's add more. your RH does'nt seem so bad atm but in flower you'll want it in the 40-50 range.
 
Yes... second guessing, can't help it!

Along with medicinal bene's... growing the stuff is great as well, learning a bunch here.
 
Hey man, just stopping in to see what you were up to. Man! Looking awesome IMO. I was the dude concerned about over lighting but your girls sure seem to love it! Low to dirt, compact and full of life.. Awesome job dude!
 
Thanks for the look Bubble! I'm in 3 gal pots.

I'll keep updating this one til the end, and may rotate in a couple more as well...

Thanks for the updates man! There's nothing I love more than watching others grow beside me!

Small Update... Day 22

Cold at night has taken the LED outta the title (for now).

To keep the area warm (been dropping to 60 or so at night) I popped a 600 watt dimmable HID, with a Hortilux Blue MH, I hope the plants don't get shocked by change... but short of adding a space heater, I added more light. Didn't make sense to add a heater when I may have been a bit under-powered light-wise.

Not planned... we'll see what happens :vibes:

Snapped a pic as they are easier to see under HID, had been on for about 2 hours..

Day 24 Update

Really wanted to keep the LED thing going... was struggling to make work, I've got the 600 Watt HID / Hortilux Blue MH in there (they seem to like it, leaves have nearly doubled in size)

Anyhoo, I will re-visit the use of LED towards end, or substitute for a newer one

BTW, anyone heard of used Platinum LED? http://platinumgrowlights.com/ (don't know if appropriate to post links, I have NO affiliation) Just looking around for something with a bit more UMPH :cool:

Here's a video

Do they look OK for day 24? Thanks for the looks!

thet look right on schedule. have you started to water till you get a little run off? seem's as tho they might be ready for that and a small bump in nute's. not that they look like they need it as they look healthy.
 
thanks el! I've probably been conservative in nutes and watering (afraid to over water). I gave 'em a drink, but only about 1/3 to 1/2 of amount... I suppose they may be ready for a boost shortly.

I was given some botanicare CNS17 grow, and tried that a bit. I'll see how they do, but am also looking for input on what works well for the "second half" of the game :D
 
2nd half you want something with more P and K and less N. and water till run off but wait till the pot's feel lite before you water again. I'm using ff nute's. the veg is 6-4-4 and the bloom is 2-8-4
