You should have no problems with the hangers Sara is sending you, as you can see I use the same hangers for my 1000W HPS and no worries. Just hook them between the cables your currently using and the mount at the top, it will be easy to lower up and down. Here is my light hanging.

pm sent about the nutes. and yes i have 12 sets of hangers also and they hold allot of weight. when you drill to install eye hooks get the ones with washers and nuts. particle board isn't sturdy enough for the twist in version. you man will know which ones to pickup.

Well now that Sara is sending me some yoyo-hangers i wont have that problem.
But yes DC that was my concern.. that the particle board my closet is made of would break and the lights would come crashing down..
I'll get some more seedling pics up today i think, and a few of the Amnesia for comparing with earlier pics

- The room as of now

I love these 2 first weeks... All you gotta do is give them water and watch them grow ^^

You should use the eye bolts not the screw in hooks. Use big washers on both sides.

you can add a support board on the top to make sure it wont break. jsut 1 2x4 the lenght of the cabinet then jsut get longer eye bolts adn you will be good to go.

yoyos are so handy. The first few grows I didnt even bother to see how they worked so we used them to tie our lights in place securely but every adjustment untied and then moved the light and then retie. yoyo are so much faster and convenient.

Hey guys, not too much going on at the moment.. I gave the seedlings a dose of rootjuice + some bactrex last night, to get that bacteria and them roots going and loool.. that stuff is magic! They almost grew to twice the size during the night which seems just rediculous

The room

The Amnesia Auto.. not too much going on there sadly.. she's still on the water boat. also gave her some bactrex last night.. figured it might be good after that flush last week.

Tommorow is day 7 of the seedling stage for the little ladies..
So in about another week or 2 i will give the first grow-nutes (1/4 dose to start)

I have 1 question: When do i transplant the 2 ladies i've got in the little pots? In another week? How long does it take to fill up that little pot?
The other 4 have space enough for a while

High ya Away

Your girls are looking good in there. On the small pots, I leave mine in for 3 or 4 weeks then start checking the bottom of the pot to see if roots are poking out , once I see root I transplant . Good luck bro and keep em green !

 

[DC420]

yes what G said.

 

[b.real]

your sprouts look good. if you flushed your flowering plant well you should now leave her alone and see if she comes back to life. you want to let the soil dry out then give her plain water once it does.

 

[jaamzhow]

I would take that Amnesia plant; and forget about it; kill it. The other girls deserve your efforts; it's survival of the fittest brother!

 

[b.real]

there's room for the amnesia and she can turn around. believe it or not some people defoliate like that on purpose. if you get her roots healthy again she'll turn out good.

 

[jaamzhow]

If you go back, way way back to the first few pages, around March 3, I think this plant has been trouble for him since! She's had her shot! Let the more worthy girls take his time and the space; or not, just my op.

I wouldn't give up on the Amnesia Auto yet Away. Nearly my whole Bloom tent looked like that at one point.

Here's a 420 link that describes that issue.

The first thing I did as B said was flush.
Then I used my own concoction which I'm still using & if you see my lastest update everything is looking much better.


BROKEAZZ CAL/MAG MIX


1 ounce of Skim Milk
1 teaspoon of Epsom Salt
3 teaspoons of Fox Farm Big Bloom
1 gallon of H2O

The Big Bloom is for the organic source of phosphorous.

Okay, let the gods decide!

Okay, let the gods decide!

Nah, we'll leave this one up to Away.

 

[jaamzhow]

Yeah but the gods have a certain je ne sais quoi, a random righteousness; I had a plant that I was nursing along for months; I finally cast her out; left her for the dogs outside; she did come back despite the negligence.
