Update: got my new HLG 300L Vspec light and what a difference it made. Plants perked up after a few hours and noticed some new growth.

Update: transplanted two older ones to larger pots and surrounded core of original coco into a larger pot filled with FFOF, I did leave the solo cup sized coco core intact as to not shock them too much with a nutrient rich soil like FFOF.

Update: girls are getting bigger and finally greening out to normal. I cannot say enough about HLG lights and fox farms ocean floor soil. Huge difference and added a 4th plant. Another critical bimbo. Things are going really well. Knock on wood now lol

Thanks set to watching. I’m gonna try a coco grow next✌️

I will tell you there is a learning curve, namely in watering. Coco drys out quick and needs water like everyday. I’m digging the FFOF, water and leave it for awhile. Just adjust the ph in the water and roll with it

Update: everything is looking real good…knock on wood. Bigger girls (critical bimbo and green crack) are doing great as you can see and the little ones ( critical bilbo and gelato) are slowly getting there. They are about 3 weeks behind the big ones. Here’s a few pics.

I gonna watch your grow! I’m piecing my setup together. Also a newbie. Plants look great! I can’t wait to see the end! Happy growing and good luck!

Hell yeah!! I will say do not go cheap on a light, I upgraded and it made the girls pop. I don’t have alot of answers but I will help any way possible.

I have a mars hydro ts 600 for now. But I’m only gonna do 1 at a time at first till I get comfortable.

How big is your grow area? I would definitely save up for a better light, you most likely won’t get a decent yield on flowering as the TS 600 is only 100 actual watts per the below web page. I had a TS 1000 and it still wasn’t up to par. I upgraded to an HLG 300L that has 600 actual watts output and holy shit the plants took off as you can see. I just got the light alittle over a week ago. https://growlightinfo.com/mars-hydro-ts-sp-series-review/

Its only 31x31x63. Gonna see what happens. Will save up for a better one but gotta try lol

31x31x63 damn that in milimeters lmao. Mine is 3.5x3.5 and my light I got is good for my size area. Just see how they do and save up for the HLG line of lights. I can’t say enough about them. A ton of people on here use them, that have years of growing on me. mine cost about $449 but well worth it if you are going to start this journey. best of luck to you and maybe start a journal. I’d love to see your progress.

Lots of new growth. Girls were transplanted to 5 gal bags. I layered coco and FFOF as I think FFOF is alittle hot.
