ORGANinc. Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Starting off a bit backwards, but better late than never - Hi all! I’m new to the growing scene, and just happy to be able to have so much useful info at my fingertips indoor growing - Veg 600Mh / Flower 600Hps Capetown winter climate makes for a bumpy ride during flower. However no complaints just yet. Attempting full organic growing. Open minded fellow and think I might be growing till the day I die. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkunkPharm Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 What are you using as mulch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORGANinc. Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 @SkunkPharm got biggish wood chips, not wanting much nutrition out of it. Just there for insulation. But ya was the first thing I could find that would do the job. Green roots crawl all the way to the chips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkunkPharm Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I only mulch my outdoor plants indoors I want water to evaporate a bit faster. But that is just preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORGANinc. Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 @SkunkPharm yes makes sense, read a article about keeping and amended soil moist and avoid run-off. So giving it a go with mulch, water ever 3 days. Min 1,2L each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_StonedTrooper Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I get the idea of mulch, and fully understand its benefits, and used to do it myself and then started to find I had issues with fungus gnats and bugs hiding under there. So as @SkunkPharm does, I keep the top of my indoor plants naked and have instead used a layer of perlite to stop drying and gnat making homes.

The_StonedTrooper Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Whooo hooo, definitely not moving those in a hurry... Can I be the first to say, well flippin done brother, what a setup and healthy plants you have there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_StonedTrooper Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Fun fact, 1x fungus gnat can get comfortable and make its home, then lay its eggs and produce up to 300 larvae, that are now living and eating off your root system. You do not want them around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORGANinc. Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 @StickyD420 ya better, I’ve put a small container on the floor, apple cider, water and dishliq just to see if I find any I saw your LEDs, I get mine on Monday, just over 1000 ppfd at 45cm. Think I’m gna do 50/50. Hps, then put the LEDs in. Or run LEDs straight? What you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_StonedTrooper Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Oooh, new equipment 1000ppfd is great, what's the specifics or link? My plan was to place my Chinese COB in the centre of my LEDS from GrowOpz, but using it as my seedling light, and wanted to purchase another light from GO, but I battle to put electricity in now days, so tight times. Nothing wrong with mixing the platforms, you get the best of both worlds. Can place the high power hps in center, which is centre specific, and LEDs around the outer edge to cater for the coverage and have no shadows, with each having different spectrums or color temps, and different levels. Picture for reference as I'm using the middle light for seedlings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
