    led light burn ...lux meter?

    Yes, I'm going for mothers. I'm older and don't like the high THC strains of today so I'm strain hunting for strains that help my nerve / muscle and joint inflammation pain without causing anxiety. Most of what I have is CBD.

    led light burn ...lux meter?

    Honestly I hate all the mess of soil and perlite etc. The best grow I've ever had was with dwc but I can't pull that off in the summer as I can't afford to run the AC all day and it's generally in the 80's in the grow room which is why I'm trying to get LED/s to work for me. Our summers are...

    led light burn ...lux meter?

    I've not been checking the ppm or ph in soil...I never have. I thought you really didn't have to worry to much about this in soil. I was trying to get mother plants and wanted it to be easy so I figured soil would be the best approach ...so I went down to walmart and bought some six inch pots...

    What's your lights dimensions, how many strips, what wattage are you running at, which driver are you using? What style are you growing hydro / soil? Which EB strips are you using 3500K? What nutes are you using and the dose for veg and flower? Are you using tap water, I'm using tap which has...

    led light burn ...lux meter?

    Hello gents, I'm still having issues with my new Led adventure and wanted to point out a few things I've been trying and noticing reproducible. The summary is when I put my plants under the Led light I built the leaves start to turn yellow over time but under the hps they start to green up. I...

    Then why do plastic buckets work, same thing? And, why do people have luck with those solo cup contests? What's so different about a solo cup? Thanks for your input!

    Failing growing with leds strips.

    Guys, I just transplanted them a few days ago into fresh soil and they were not root bound at all ...in fact I was disappointed that the cup was only about 1/4 full of roots. I don't mind transplanting them again...I'm going to give them some time to recover. This morning they are looking much...

    Failing growing with leds strips.

    Hmm..wonder why leds require more...I'll look into that. I thought, I'd have to check...but the last time I looked at my city water report it showed it had a high cal rating and I thought the mag was up there to. I figured the 200ppm was mostly cal and mag so I never really bothered with it...

    A lot do and they don't know it because it grows on the backside of drywall and releases mycotoxins which might not have any effect on one person but really make another person really sick. I have a chronic pain autoimmune illness so I have to be careful.

    Failing growing with leds strips.

    It's kinda a cab...just a wire rack wrapped with some panda film...very cheesy but all I had until I can build a small cab. I want to get a 36w x 24D x 52H cab soon. The room is a 12x12 and it's about 64 with no lights and the leds seem to get it to about 68/69F. The getto cab is about 73-75F...

    Failing growing with leds strips.

    It's not rootbound...but yes to the rest. The room is generally in the 68 to 70F with the leds on and the cab they are in is about 73 to 75 which I thought would be enough. It's enough with just a simple 150 hps hovering over them about 10-12 inches with that IR and radiant heat. I'm going to...

    Failing growing with leds strips.

    I said i've tried adjusting the nutes from less to more than I normally due. It may be nute burn and if it is then it's something to do with the lighting and environment and how they interact. I've grown several grows with the same ferts with the same starting and final ppm / ph with success...

    I'm thinking of trying this as an experiment to add to the cab. https://www.amazon.com/TheraBulb-NIR-Near-Infrared-Bulb/dp/B01855YCXM/ref=sr_1_7_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1548564794&sr=8-7&keywords=infrared+light

    Failing growing with leds strips.

    Yes...I have the personality I like to know why things work. I think I have OCD like that such as my too long of a post. lol I'm thinking of doing that exactly ...just using a dam hps in the winter and led in the summer if it works out to that as heating the room and all that is...
