Thank you guys!!

They seemed to have fared just fine, but I will keep my eye on them. Here they are this morning.

I have HO T5 over them, with (4) 25w bulbs. I only have 2 of the bulbs on right now, so 50w.
When do you think they would require/enjoy the full (4) bulbs? every time I open the tent the temp goes from 80 to 75 in seconds! wow its so cold here today in mass. Also, forgot to keep my eye on humidity, but since they are getting larger I am not to worried.

The COB's will not have enough height in this tent...Bigsm0 thought they might fry the plants. I want to keep them in this little tent for temp purposes. I cant get the big tent above 73 without having enough light to light up my whole damn town, or putting in a heater. cant afford that electricity, so in the little tent they stay for now. They are looking so darn healthy and green I dont want to rip them out of their 80 degree environment.

I found results of using a PK booster after I harvested, buds dried so dense and hard it was great. You may see the same. I was using Remo tho just got BE yesterday to try.



Great job mom, I'm sure the gals will be fine and you will see them explode as the roots fill in the bigger space they now have.

I was not going to order the SC or the BE but saw such good things I figured maybe I should have some on hand.

I just opened the little tent to peek at them and WOW, mom got hit by a very familiar funky smell!...
Ladies are now wearing their "perfume".

I'm usually not a believer in a lot of amendments, like "bud sweeteners" etc. but the SC has good stuff for roots, and other beneficial micros. Unless it's something proven scientifically to work, like mycorrhizae, good bacteria, boosting/lowering nutes at different growth stages etc. I'm pretty skeptical about products unless I see results, or understand how the product works.

I don't know for sure as I'm no lighting expert, but T5HO isn't going to grow your plants from start to finish is it?

How how can you put one above the plants?

I'd be looking at possible ways to put a cob or two in there at 24 inches above if you can. Maybe 20. if you cant get that kind of height distance between autocob and plants maybe you can put an autocob in there but point it indirectly at the plants. Maybe bounce the light off the ceiling of the tent? If you had 10 inches of space you could maybe flip the light upside down. But that t5ho fixture would be in the way. So maybe bounce two cobs off the walls?

I was thinking of just turning on the T5 full blast for now in the veg tent (all 100 watts at about 6-8 inches), maybe for about another week, that giving me time to figure out how to get the big girls tent warm. I may have to run 3 cobs high up in the big girls tent to get it to 75. I am going to experiment this week.

Yes me too. I have bottles upon bottles here I am leary to use. HA HA. I am sticking with just MEGA CROP for now and nothing else. Not even calmag yet.

It's good to start with basics, and add as needed to see where the results are. Just keep an eagle eye out for any deficiencies showing up!

It's funny that a bunch of us are using lights mostly to heat the tents, then summer will come and we will be moaning about it being too hot! I'm going to switch lights up soon for flowering in my auto/veg tent.
