4 Day later. just bumped the ppm to 800 from 500. she is looking bigger and bushier. this is by far the most dense foliage Ive ever seen personally. was going to SCROG but Im not sure she will stretch enough to bother. there are at least 12 tops/bud sites... maybe 15. tough to count them...
2x 250W Cidly Apollos + 200W 6400K

I think Ive got it figured out. thanx for the help. low pH with high ppm seems to have been the issue. she is looking better by the hour. purple in the stalk and branches is going away steadily.
thanx again for the help.
thats what I have read. 10% less than HID but denser and stickier plants with LED. this is all for personal, so Im not concerned with huge crops or maxing my grams per watt just yet. this is all just a first timers learning experience.
Ive got the schedule(s). thank you though. Im just...
Im not going to use HPS. thanx for the advice on how to spend my winnings. have you used LED with little success? which did you use? what didn't you like? if you havent used them ever, then...........?
Ill try lifting the lights some more though.
wanted to try LED cuz of the lower heat output and cuz its the brave new world of growing. and I won a decent poker tourny and had the extra funds ;)
heat hasn't been bad at all. the lights sure arent heat-free though. been as high as 83ish. I raised and lowered the lights until I found the...
wondering how to get this little girl on track. this is my first grow. LED. CFL. DWC.
week 2 day 4. temps day 77' and night 65'. pH 5.5 feeding 550 ppm. FloraDuo A&B. CalMagic. Pot Silicate. pH down.
thanx for any pointers.
