I've used both led and hps myself i much prefer big fat buds a hps light gives ya, but peeps differ on opinions with lighting.

The ferts are they coco specific or hydro, i`m just thinking if they`re just for hydro then you may need some calmag then again you may not.

PH pen & EC pen Are you in USA by any chance, just wondering what with you using 3 part ghe flora ? ferts.

No I’m the U.K. love American stuff I have done a good few years on HPS just trying to keep bills semi normal and Mrs calm.

Going to hand feed first x 6 see what’s the best to then clone and carry on with using Rhizo fabric pots

Here’s what I’m growing had some left over seeds from a friends trip.

If you just put a grow journal up and pm me a link ill pop in from time to time to help out and I'm sure many more will do that here as well, tis just I've not really got patience at moment to full on mentor someone and i mean you know how to grow. So yes if you don't get any offers to mentor I'll help out as much as i can.

Just carry on hand feeding and slinging waste that comes outa pot bottoms atmo and don't over fert. Feed a fert ec around 0.5 on top of whatever your water is so if hard water is 0.5 ec + 0.5fert ec = 1.0ec total or if soft-water just go at 0.5ec

Erm i don't think your saving much leccy from juice box with those lights. Not my cuppa tea LED although I'll prolly be switching over to it for Summer months
