have u noticed any difference on how the plants use nutrients differently from led and the ceramic's?? i know its only a 4 day test,, but i wonder if you would need to change ur nutrient mix if you switched perminently from led to cdl in veg???

I've never noticed a huge difference but I've always vegged with LED's and flowered with CMH or COBs and feed very little, supplement is more what I call it. My medium is soil/pro-mix so needs very little feed in veg, every 3rd watering at like 350-400ppm. They get up-potted so get fresh medium about a week before flipping and I feed much the same in flowering, supplement at 400-450ppm when needed, usually every other watering through the stretch, then every 2nd or 3rd watering once they set, depending on the strain/pheno. I'd expect if I switched to CMH veg there would be some adjustments needed for the environment which combined with the difference in spectrum would likely affect the plants including feeding habits.

Hi Dude,
Nice looking plants and set up Do you have a live feed from a camera set up? I was looking at doing the same, so i can monitor the ladies without having to cross the road to my garage...
I have wifi in the garage, was just a bit worried about streaming the live feed (security/hackers etc..)

Hey thanks, I don't run a feed, too much risk. They are capable of streaming through a service from the vendor but I use them mainly through my WiFi. If I'm remote I don't have the network open or directing traffic to the cameras. I vpn into my network and then connect to the cameras, much safer than exposing them to the internet.

They're pretty cheap and I'm just now replacing 2 of them that are acting up after 4+ years so pretty reliable. Here's the models I use below. They're branded under Foscam or Armcrest, not sure if there's any difference, I have some of each and they're identical as far as setup/functionality.

Foscam and similar cameras are remote hackable. I just read about it. Check into other brands that are more secure.

They're all hackable, why I don't expose them to the outside. You have to hack into my network first , then the camera. Low risk compared to having them available via internet, including cloud services. I go into my network through a vpn, then when I'm inside I can access them. I'm a network guy, it's all about risk and ease of access. There's so many open devices out there, any resistance and you move on to the next guy. It's not worth spending time on hacking into a network when so many other open targets are available.

And this is why I like to hear from knowledgeable guys like yourself. Now I know to set up a VPN.

The venting attachment for the Phantom CMH hood is doing its job and making this rare summer grow possible. Fighting the Northern California heat but still looking sweet.

paper towels wet w/ plain water w/ ph of 6.0... once in rock wool for seedlings i use 1/2 tsp maxi grow, 1/2 tsp of B+ per gallon of water PH BALANCED TO 5.8..

should i be using distilled water?? ive always used ph balanced tap water on seeds,never had problems... if using distilled do you ad ph down or just straight distilled water???

as of now i have 1 ultimate purple, 3 grand daddy purples, and 1 fem dark star that are up and growing,, the ultimate purple is a week ahead of the rest and all seeds wer in towels at the same time...
again how long should i give the seeds in paper towels before i throw them away?? is there a way to see if a seed is dead? i noticed some seeds are black..

thccbdhealth · Jul 19, 2017

Germination with distilled or ro water.
Some tap water can apperently kill some seeds.

i dont have time to scim through the thread but I will soon and I want to...but can someone tell me Will a 315 cmh almost replace my 1000W MH for veg? I got a nice LED for veg but it makes them too bushy and takes too long compared to MH... is CMH similar or can i expect it to be closer to MH results? THANKS guys

You'll need 2 315W CMH to replace a 1000W MH. That's still only 630W vs 1000.

517BlckBerry · Jul 20, 2017

thanks guys! so one would match up to about a 600watter im assuming... Think im going to get one in a week or so. Solis Tek products are amazing from my experience but if you guys have a better option let me know thanks again!

What replacement bulb should I get for my Sun System LEC 315? I was hoping maybe an unwrapped bulb would be better for UV. I'm just using the one bulb for veg and flower. Thanks!

The Phillips 3100k offers the most par and is recommended for full cycles.

Use open rated lamps in fully enclosed fixtures only.

The difference in UV is negligible.

I can't tell if you appreciate my post or not.

But for data. I'm pretty sure I could get 12 oz + with any of my seeds and just the 315. Problem is the footprint is small.

I have done 24 with the 600 hps. In a 3.5 x 3.5 space with mid yielding genetics.

Was that with a single ended sixer? One strain? I uses to hit them numbers with the mogul socket sixers as well..but it was tough and lots of canopy/net trellis training with one strain to hit that. Nice job. Anyone that hits over 17 with a single ended sixer has got shit on point in my opinion. Glass or no glass makes a HUGE difference i have found. If your in the twenties consistently...dont change a thing I say. I sold off my single ended sixers and got a bunch of Gavita 6/750's a few years ago. I can hit 25 to 28 no problem on the 600 watt setting alone now. Much more grower friendly with the double ended lamps. Just gotta control the heat. A mini split ac is pretty much mandatory. But yeah. The double ended are less canopy work as well to hit them numbers. Less Net trellis training and whatnot.
