My First LED grow! Plz follow gona expand fast

Just to mention an earlier post.... I got fucked up growth on my seedlings when I first started. It wasn't a bad seed. I put them under the LED way too early and it was light saturation that caused it. I now use t5 until it's about a week old then they go under the led. LEDs are awesome but they aren't great for seedlings I've found

@oilmaker68 Thx for advice i usually have seedlings under t5s aswell but still get occasionaly mutant seeds so far 2 out of 30

Hey guys my 600w HPS is arriving tommorow... and im gona re-setup my grow op.. Im not sure whether to go with my 450w for veg and add the 600w to the 300w in the bathroom and make that my flowering room as my current flowering room isnt 100% light sealed... Any advice would help... another problem im gona experience is my first 6 now 5 flowering have been flowering for i would say 10-15days as for the ones vegging have been vegging for about 1month now... I want to have a perpetual grow but i was wondering if i will have my plants in veg too long might effect them... as we are looking at 2months atleast until the flowering ones are done which means plants will be 3months+ in veg.. anyone can advise me please

If you have 8-10' ceilings, you *can* veg for three months, I'd personally just keep topping as often as possible. If they get too out of hand, just clone them, and start veg all over again brand new (don't toss the big plants until you know for sure the new clones get off to a good start.

Again though, with a good clipping regimen along with some LST, it could be possible, but remember, your plants will 'stretch' 2-3 times within the first 21-24 days of flower.

2/30 isnt bad.

You can do a hard topping on your plants and they will recover. check out mainlining in the subcools oldschool organics.

@Dr.Pecker Thanks for that forum its amazing... subcools grow is insane i love the way to spread the canopy must be best technique for LEDS or any lights almost cause of even canopy... but i think only downside is probably long veg time as they slow down everytime topped... or should i fim instead

Both are good. Mainlineing only really works on a plant with symmetrical node formation. I don't really know It might work for any plant I guess. I always called it hard pruning but its a good way to keep a plant down. If you have some tall plants you can chop the top out and tie them down.

So are you giving up on the LEDs and going the HPS route?

You can slow or speed up a grow trust me.

keep all the lights fuck it. light that baby up!

Pay your power bill!!!

I haven't done it but I hear you'll get really good flowers if you combine HPS and LED. Best of both worlds.

Im choosing to stick to all my lights but just trying to figure out how to spread them out... as i have now 600w hps, 450w LED, and a 300w LED.. any advice? 450+300w for veg and 600w HPS for flowering?? or 450w LED for veg and 600w HPS+300w LED for flowering... but i think it will be choice of LEDs being together and HPS being alone because easier to setup

More light in the flower room. weaker lights in the veg.

@luciferi The good book says you will eat from the sweat of your brow. That means it takes a lot of work to get results. If you do organics properly you will be growing soil not plants.

YEAH YEAH LIGHTS FINALLY ARRIVED!!! 600w HPS!! and i switch my rooms my veg to outside corner and with 300w+450w LED... Flowering room now in my bathroom no more shits fuck only 1 toilet in house to use hahahaa.. but fuck it its worth the risk living in thailand keeping shit indoor ..

This is the new 600w HPS with ballast. This is my flowering room now are lights to far away??? got 2 cfls hanging low 85w each... The light is being about 30 inches away... will this effect my babies??




This is the 300+450w grow led for veg room...




And here we have females in our autostrain... i think northern blue lights and also dark devil also showing sex... gona keep them in veg room as they need 24hors i have heard.. my flowering room is about 2metres high 1.75metres deep and 1.1wide got 5 plants inthere now..

That big light is a little high in the first pic. keep an eye on the temps above your plants. Its always best to set up and run your grow room without plants for a couple days so you can work out all the bugs.

my grow rooms are done got a 8inch exhaust fan for both rooms and in flowering room have lying down fan blowing onto the HPS light towards the exhaust fan... As for the other babies just switched the room basically and put all LEDS onto that and a fan rotation at soil to leafe level just to keep bigs away... Should be going ok @Dr.Pecker THx a lot bro for following my link no phone so no cam but will take pictures soon as i water next time maybe video clip
