Unknown Cheese X, 13 weeks from switch.

I thought you should never run ph'd water only in coco (ruins the buffer?). Feed every watering, check the run off and adjust feed so your never overfeeding, and won't have a reason to flush midway. If you do over feed and need a flush use a 1/4 strength feed solution

Where are you measuring temps? Do you have an exhaust system?

Thinking I could stagger the hps to turn off 15 mins before the leds, and get a pair specifically for leds. The flash bounces off the side with no lights on, @Kkesu, I'm liking the combo of led and hps, dont think I'd consider favouring one or the other completely. But it turns everything quite dull

I know you can get lenses for hids and leds that give you a real view of the plants under the light, im running a combo of both, are there any that do both? Cant seem to find much of anything. Thanks :)

I started off with 2 450w ViparSpectra in a 4x4 they were ok for veg, your right though, probably needs a minimum of 4 (2.5ft by 2.5ft coverage each) to cover the whole area effectively for flowering. I had to chuck in a 400w hps to cover the space.

Thanks for the info, well appreciated:)

She's a pretty lady

I knew it wasn't going to increase yields, was asking the opposite, if I'm removing some larger fans am I decreasing yields? just though more penetration into the canopy onto the leaves that weren't getting so much light would make up for the ones that were removed. Like I say, i don't...

Tents 4x4x8 2 x 450w leds ( 207w each), and a dimmable hps that's usually on 400w, but can go either way depending on temps, I think 3 or 4 would be ok. I'll send my address in the post, where a I sending it again? ;)

Yh I was pretty much set on feminized seeds, had a look at autos, don't think they'd be as rewarding, I had fun training these. Any recommendations for a strain?

Is it not effective to remove some some leaves (pruning?) My canopy gets out of control, I find removing leaves helps with humidity/circulation, I only remove fan leaves that are touching or blocking light into the canopy. Now it seems i have more bud sites. Am i harming yields, eg exposing more...

Ah, sorry my bad. I should get enough to last me a while out of this one, so I've got time , not sure how much bud to expect tbh. I'm gonna try to start from seed get a few different strains going at once. And I've still got a cutting of this depending on how it turns out. How about you? Already...

Same here, first grow 4 plants. You mean what to do next?
