Coco nutrients etc..

yeah that would be fine for the seedling, but i would get a couple more.

hey if you country dosent allow hps to be shipped, you should look at a 4 bulb T5. they use those for aquariums so you could prob buy it in your country. this is what they look like.....

 

[Meraxes]

i would get a 4 ft T5 with at least 2 bulbs, 1 6500k and 1 3000k like this....

then you could keep the T5 on top and the cfl lower or the side.
in your situation i would seriously consider building your own steath cfl cab out of a pc or a small cabinet

well I was gonna grow in an open space and when it's time to flower, get my own place. What is so good about T5's?.

T5's will give you a lot of light for cheaper than buying a bunch of cfl. like that one there is only 49 bucks and will gat you through flower fine

 

[weedss]

I don't know, T5's seems pretty expensive over here. As soon as PH/tds meter nd Bloom/Micro gets here i going to start it!

 

[Meraxes]

cool just stick with cfls then. 3 or 4 should be fine. remember shoot for about 150 watts total. instead of getting a 100w, get 3 o 4 50w so its surrounded

alright ! Just ordered the CoCo and Epsom. I am going to steel some plastic coffee cups at star buckets lol

 

[Meraxes]

correction with a tsp of epsom. use like half a tsp/gal when preparing. i used a teaspoon and the ppm went through the roof

 

[Meraxes]

also grinding some chicken bones down to dust would help with calcium i read. clean ones....

 

[weedss]

Yea kk. I am going to need Cal-mag for my 1-2 week?, epsom salt will cover it up right?

 

[Meraxes]

calmag would cover both calcium and magnesium deficiencies. go with calmag if you can

 

[weedss]

when I expand bricks, put cal-mag into the water?. How did you expanded your brick? I am confused. I'll be starting with 8oz cup which I only will be needing 1 bricks. So, get 1gal water, put Epsom salt(half tsp), PH'd to 5.8. Then check the runoff make sure ppm is lower than 100?

 

[weedss]

How to keep them Moist?. I mean, do they stay wet for long time If light isn't not to close?

 

[weedss]

young seedling, should I water it once? or 2 or 3 times in a day?.

after you preflush yourr coco, make a solution with 1 gallon water, put half a teaspoon of epsom, with a little ph down to get it to 5.8. dump that through the bucket and your mix is now ready for veg.
now take a 16oz cup and scoop out your seedling mix. after seed sprouts place it into the cup a seedlength down. now just use plain 5.8 ph water to spoon water onto the seedling because if you just dump it, it will move the seedling too deep or who knows where. i used a syringe. do that once in the morning and once at night until it pops out. place it under light, and now you can make a 1/4 strength lucas solution and do that for a week, then go full on
