Need advice

[HR PUFFINSTUFF]

High Guys and thanks in advance for any advice.I've made 3 attempts at growing my own MJ and each time while in the flowering stage with buds forming the plants just withered and went very dry and dead looking,last plant was in flower cycle for 54 days, it deteriorated as before and i had to pull it.I'm using 6ft.tall double wardrobe 600 watt hps light 11.5 hrs on.fert is 3 part perfection for veg. and flowering as recomended by hydro store 5mls to 1lt water,tank is topped up with plain water for 3 days then replaced with fresh water and fert. pump on 15 mins off 15mins.Has anyone got any ideas as to where i'm going wrong, i've got more seeds ready to sprout soon.I would appreciate your advice for this attempt.Thanks

What size are your pots? It sounds as if they could be getting root bound.

My pots are 8 cm diameter 8cm tall

Move up to at least 30cm x 30cm, square one are the best in the grow room. Your light is a bit excessive for the grow space too, a 400w with an air cooled hood is the highest I would go in a wardrobe.

HR Puff n stuff,

I remember you, I had to stop havin you over for bongs, cause you cant get a little and you cant get enough.

But seriously though - you've got a heat problem.

A 600 in that small a space is goinnnn off. You need a 400 and some good fans, or alternatively a small room to run your 600 in. My friend stinky pete has a 600 in a space about 4 times the size in width and length as yours and it works nicely, but he still has a big exhaust fan. SO, smaller light, or bigger space. Simple.

Bonne fortuno

Hey, thanks for the advice guys,i bought some bigger pots and put in another exhaust fan and a heat shield with a smaller ducted fan attached, if this doesn't sort it i'll have to go for the 400 watt light.so all i need is for my seeds to start happenin' and try again,i hope i get something to smoke this time.

Hey HR

 

Get yourself a aircooled shade for your light and a good inline fan,150mm, to push that heat out of your cuboard and into your ceiling space or outside, try not to exhaust into room and/or put a a/c in the room that your growing in, with your air in fan sucking directly in front of the a/c.
