After a few days under the 400, they are starting to get used to the bigger lite and stronger nutes. PPM was worked up from about 400ppm to around 900ppm right now. PH is kept around 5.5 to 5.8 and they are flooded, or fed, every 4hrs under a 20on/4off lite cycle.
Flooding is totally automatic, and the feed pump runs off a timer. When the flooding is finished, the nutes drain back down into the resivour, thru the pump. My lazy ass dosent really have to do much but keep water in the rez {every other week via hose from faucet}, and check that the PPM & PH stay within range every week or so.
Have an ocillating fan blowing 24/7, and the stems are already getting thick and sturdy. The 400hps has produced several internodes in just a few inches.
Once the seedlings become rootbound in the cups {a few more days}, we will transplant into the 5.5" pots, and likely also top the main grow tip at the same time.
