Tip: Hang white plastic sheeting on all the walls, if there is a distance of a few feet or more hang the sheeting as a room partition. A reflective surface with maximize the lighting, ultimately maximizing your yield.
Watering: Water with the ‘Nute Tea’ within 3 days of transplant.
Before you water the plants with the tea, water well with regular water to completely saturate the root zone. Wait and hour, then water in the tea (at most 1 gallon per plant. Water with the tea within 3 days of transplant.
