update...
Ok so I am finally ready to do this first grow off, I popped 30 Lowryder2 autos and planted them on the 28th of June and moved them into 2 of my 4 x 8 x 8 test rooms. 14 are under a 1000w dual arc HID setup and 13 are under the mag+ and regular 357 magnum par amp 2012 in full veg mode. They have been on 24 hours of light since the 28th and will switch over to 18/6 for the rest of the grow starting today. The 27 survivors will be broken down to 6 per room with the extra 3 going one each into the LED rooms. The nutes being used for this grow are Advanced Nutrients..
