As much as I'd love to run a perpetual, i just don't have the means to use both the big lights at once. I figured out my roots have been getting chilly at night, low 60's so i fixed that up and it stays 69-72 at root level now.Id be inclined to go with the t5 for veg and hps for flowering. You could run a perpetual with the closet feeding the main room so as soon as one comes out of flower you have a vegged plant ready to replace it.
You could then supplement the hps with the led for better coverage.
Happy New Year @FerretWrangler@Sunshine how bad do they look?
I recommend growing in compost with perlite and vermiculite, approx rations 50-60%/30-40%/10-20.Why would i need a new mix?
I don't know know its size yet but hopefully i will tonight. I would like to bin it all and give your way a go, but i have a massive distrust of someone else compost, and i dunno if the compost i have is optimal since it's black and has bits of twigs in it. If i could get a trustworthy compost and the down to earth I'd be set because i have everything else. I can order the ferts tomorrow, do you have a link for compost i could buy?I recommend growing in compost with perlite and vermiculite, approx rations 50-60%/30-40%/10-20.
To that I'd add mycos, about 6 tablespoons of organic fertiliser(pic below) to each 20 litres of soil (5 gal bucket) and a couple of heaped tablespoons of dolomite lime.
You should ideally let the soil sit for a few weeks prior to use but it can be used off the bat as long as you don't over do the dry fertiliser addition.
Then all you need to do is plant, water approximately once a week and sit back and watch the plants grow fast strong and healthy. The odd compost tea helps things along too.
That is the method I recommend to new growers, it's simple, tried and tested and the results are impressive.
I think you'll continue to struggle with coco it's not the easiest way to get started and requires a lot of fiddling around ph ing and measuring liquids etc, time better spent relaxing smoking organic buds.
The remaining coco you have that is unused you could use to amend your new soil mix, I'd personally bin all of the old/used medium, liquid ferts etc.
Keeping it simple is the key to success.
The tent sounds like a good score do you know what size it is? controlling the enviroment is much easier with a tent.
