Slow growing?

[Bucket]

Ok so after reading a little bit it says that light only consumes 110w, so is that all its pulling?

 

[CaptainWiese91]

How much perlite do you have in the soil mix ?

And did you maybe press all the soil ? When filling the pot?
So it’s compressed maybe ?

 

[Rwise]

Yes thats it 110 watts, my lights pull 308 Watts from the wall each.

 

[Bucket]

Its a 60/40 coco perlite mix. And i didn't press the mix when i transplanted, was i supposed to?

 

[CaptainWiese91]

No not at all. But it could have contributed to the slow growth..
110W is really not enough. This was my first thought, which why I asked you about it earlier.

Any recommendations for a decent budget light?

Here's a full spectrum, pulls 220W for under $100 with a 5% off coupon (helps with tax) There are so many choices, not sure if one would be big enough but it's a start: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081NB196X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have 2 of these, 1 with a timer and 1 without. Pretty good for me so far-

panalilies IKR? Same exact time, heh.

LOL Just pick one

SoOrbudgal tonight i began doing what you told me to with the watering, ran a gallon through each plant, put them up on risers and caught the runoff. It took better part of 3/4 of a gallon before it produced any runoff at all.

 

[Puglover1]

You do need to shop for a better light soon. Yours can't get three plants very far. Take it from a fool who knows. Good luck!

Puglover1 that link you shared with me earlier, would just one of those suffice in a 2x4 tent?

 

[Puglover1]

The info says: "Most cover 3x3ft, perfect for 3x3ft vegetative coverage and 2x2ft flowering coverage." Optimally, you would need two IMO.

This one seems to be a respectable brand with growers here, with a $30 off coupon it's $149 and the size sounds perfect for your tent, it draws 200W. https://www.amazon.com/VIPARSPECTRA...85W3LY4Q/ref=psdc_14252941_t3_B083JVY569?th=1

Signs of nitrogen toxicity in these leaves?
