@Sammy420 sorry about that. I believe I have everything not related to your grow removed. If I missed something please flag it and I’ll take care of that too.

I used 100% coco coir. And will be using that as well when i transplant them. If you want more info on it go to cana’s website. Find them by searching canna nutrients

So when would these be considered not to be seedlings anynore? Have been feeding them canna start from the beginning (aug 26th). Canna start is for cuttings and seedlings and basically replaces the A+B nutrients. I am thinking its about time to swith over to A+B now? What do the pros think?

No not yet. I m in coco also and will give some calmag at half strength then feed with 1/4 strength nutes when I see the round feeder leaves start to yellow

update. We have made progress on the pole barn aka the grow opp. Gotten lots of concrete laid down. (What a pain in the ass that was) Against what hornhead advised (i did this before resding his advice) I Started using cana a+b at 5ml a gallon and put away the canna start. Plants seem to like it and are doing fine though. Also I started adding some cannazym to the nutrient mix tonight.

Right now i am using this much nutrients per gallon (all nutrients from CANNA)

10ml rhizotonic
10ml A
10ml B
5ml cannazym

Hell yea man things are growing good may I suggest a perpetual grow If u check out my journal ull see what I’m doing stages …keeps things timely and can give u an expected finish start and finished product times after the system takes hold and starts running its self more or less… would u rather u whole building being done on half or in 20 different stages ur gonna need a team of trimmers the other way ull be really busy with perpetual of that size but I wouldn’t just seed the whole property then hope for the best

That’s good that means the food is staying in the media and it’s getting used

How much you pay for the pair and what does it say the watts are…according to the data on the lights they are roughly 306 watts each not bad

But what I’m wondering is you purchased like a hundred 315 watt lights and 100 400 watt lights why aren’t you just using those for the time being those will work fine might need to use a little bit of cooling but it seems like you have them in a house anyway so you won’t even have heat issues two of those 315 CMH is will do the same thing does Mars Hydro lights you just got will do if not better plus you already had them on hand

Hey fano. They new lightswere roughly 325 dollars a piece give or take. They supposedly pull about 300 watts but i dont have a tester. Disappointingly the hlg60 lights i bought just arent strong. Id only recomend them to a tent grower. Maybe the next size up to hlg150 would have been a better choice. It seems the plants still really like the blurple bestva 1000 light because some of the feeder leaves tend to aim towards it even though they are far from the bestvas light trajectory.

Funny little plants. Anyways thats my update.

I ended up selling all those 320 and 400 watt light fixtures. Were going to invest in more led like the mars hydro lights we just bought and run them staggered next to some 1000 watt HPS.

That 300 u spent on the Mars will go alot farther with qbs I promise vegging is a whole another ball game then flower and the qbs have much more light density for your dollar… I agree the 60 is a tiny light I have a 600 and that light is strait off a strip off the sun but u can build lights much cheaper with far superior quality of light then any purple pmemade can offer u gotta look at the data sheet and k ow what your objective to get to is and qbs get you there much better watts are a general way to measure light really it’s no way to measure light it’s how those watts are turned into photons used for your plant if your light has air fan cooling some power is going to that and all that need s to be taken into consideration…I’ll never run anything other then a samsung diode or something equivalent ever again

Also I think @DoobieNoobie has that light and did a side by side and his custom lights out performed the Mars light and he made them from scratch for about a dollar a watt if I remember correct…he got the mars light for free from sending interest letters to Mars telling them he grows on a forum bca nd will run there lights and show there performance pretty cool hes into fi doing alot if free stuff for the canabis culture… there is a company called mega crop nutrients ts and they are canabis specific simple nutrients he got multiple products from them for free as well… @DoobieNoobie how did that mega crop work out did you ever end up running it and if so how did it perform was it a complete feed or did u get deficiencies
