  2. "Hard water nutes you say, that probably means you're gonna have a high background Ec, which means your feeding to low @ 0.8 Up the Ec to 1.2 and give them a good drench 2 to 3 litres each pot, sling the run off, after that you want to be watering every day till you get around 20% run off out the bottom.

    ETA Also try and get your temps down to around 25/26 You're out of the comfort zone @ 29c in my opinion.

    I believe the main problem is the 300ml watering per plant. 300ml in 10L pots is not enough. I am guessing 1- 2 litres per plant would do the trick. If you get about 15% run off you are on the right track. When you water the plants try to cover the whole surface area of the medium.

    To catch run off i sit the pots on a gardening sieve which sits in a gravel tray.

    Get a thermometer and humidity meter in there asap. I think that the best temp is about 27 celcius (lights on) and during veg you want a humidity of around 55-65%. But i have grown plants in temps of 32 celcius and still got decent yeilds.

    1 x 600w in a 1.2 x 1.2 is going to cause the area to be very hot. The humidifier will help cool the air. I use a humidifier during veg to wet the air. The plants really love it.

    Also make sure you get the ph correct. 5.5 hydro, 5.8 coco and i think its 6.2 soil.
