kratom under an hps?
    #19123629 - 11/11/13 09:45 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

okay I have only have knowledge of indoor cultivation in regard to weed, but I always wanted to grow kratom and was considering maybe getting a little indoor garden going one day when I move to a new place. I have a 250w HPS somewhere and could utilize that for the plants. I know with weed, the plants need a certain lumen intensity for every foot of growth and a 250 wouldn't do much for the flowering phase in anything larger than one plant... but how is kratom in regard to indoor lighting? does it need a high intensity light to create a stronger concentration of alkaloids? is it anything like opium, where indoor is a total waste of time??? anyone have any info that might relate to this topic on indoor kratom?

I don't have experience with HPS, but I rooted and established a couple of cuttings under T8 fluoros. They grew quite slowly, but it worked out just fine.

I just brought my plant in for the winter. It's sitting back under a couple of T8s in a corner looking just fine. It's growth slowed, but it's not going downhill.

Kratom grows like weed in a grow tent with HIGH humidity and 4-6 hours of HPS direct light each day... Had my 6 plants outdoors during hot humid months in the shade and in my grow tent under a 1000w blue hps the rest of the year!
My Thai has a stalk 4" round at the moment and best kratom I've had yet :-)

Yo, I'm assuming you grow yours in pots.. Did you prune it down to keep it like a shrubbery? Mine's getting big enough that I'm going to need to figure that out pretty soon...

so it can be grown under a lower intensity light and still yield a good concentration of alkaloids? whats up with the lighting schedule? I see someone say post in here saying that they give theirs 4-6hrs... is that all that is needed per day? whats a suggested lighting schedule to go by? since its vegative growth only, I figure it isn't that crucial, yet since I don't know much about it, I thought id ask. nitrogen rich ferts are the best to use right, just as the feeding type one were to use for the vegative phase of mj??? whats a good method for creating a nurturing level of RH? humidity levels is never something ive ever messed with in regard to indoor gardening, except for fungus. what a humidifier?

thanks for the replies?
