it seems like a combo of inadequate light and low temps. if i remember correctly night temps shoulndt go below 65. Not sure what Light u have but it looks like a single tube flouro. Past 3 weeks even for 1 plant that is not sufficient IMHO. Your plant loks stressed as hell man. Throw some more...

Ya I did some more research into em. The 3W diodes actually draw like 1-1.5 watts... I was lookin for a stand alone unit capable of decent yields and growing from seed to harvest. Haven't seen the 500 watt model of the blackstars but like I said at that price u gotta be skeptical. I looked on...

Holy crap dude. Just looked up some stuff on the 240 watt blackstar...only $280??? And it supposedly used 2 and 3 watt cree chips with a mix of 60 and 120 degree lenses with white diodes and uv?? That seems wayyy too cheap for those specs I'm a little skeptical. Looked at a few journals with em...

Cool. The penetrator x is the new one with swappable modules and better lenses rt? Mine is just the 345 watt penetrator with 1 watt diodes. Never heard of blackstar....I'm gonna do some research into em now. I'm tryin my best this grow to make sure the girls have zero problems so I can see what...

Lol ya I was worried about that too. 1.5 EC is the highest I've ever fed them,normally I stick to 1.0. But I only feed them every other watering. My soil drains very well I have a lot of perlite and a layer of hydroton on bottom. When I give em a half gallon, at least half drains out the bottom...

True I was reading that but apparently the moon is only 0.1 Lux or 0.01 Lumens... meaning even a small red "power light" on a power strip or power cord can confuse the plants. I don't really think that would happen but who knows.

You clipped off the growing root tip... Ive never seen that happen but I would recommend just starting fresh. Not sure how much u paid for that seed but when its so young like that youre essentially ripping off half its "body" lol.

So what would you guys say is the best performing LED so far? What company has the best? There's so many now I know of a few top players but with all the scams and shady shit who knows.

With an 18/6 light schedule and 3 week old plants I don't think u should be using bloom nutes. Tiger bloom does have some nitrogen in it but not nearly enough for veg. Its a little late now but in the future you should start em out with at least 2 weeks of veg nutes before switching to bloom.

Cool thread. I have faith that LEDs still have a long way to come but they will get there. I'm looking forward to the day where a 450 watt LED will outperform a 1000 watt HPS. I give it about 2-3 years. If so, I will dump whatever I have in my savings account to get that light lol.

Trimmed undercarriage again. These little bastards are persistent. Watered today (1/2 Gallon Distilled): 0.25 TSP Open Sesame 0.50 TSP Kangaroots 3 TSP Big Bloom 2 TSP Tiger Bloom 2 TBSP Dolomite Lime (To bring ph up and give them some well needed Cal-Mag) pH: 6.3 Runoff...

12/12 today. Power bill was only $20 more than normal after 1st month of use. Not bad compared to my 600 watt HPS setup that cost me an extra $90 with the light, ballast, exhaust fan (cool tube) and tent exhaust fan. Even if this grow only yields a shit ounce of popcorn buds its for personal use...

Got one 345 watt unit 1 watt LEDs 60 degree lenses. Not too bad so far in veg. these are about 1 month old. about to flower em and see what this light can really do...got a grow thread goin if anyones as interested in the buds this thing can make as I am.

Update. Pruned some lower leaves and undergrowth that weren't getting good light. Since penetration is an issue with 1 watt LEDs, want to make sure canopy is main area of plants. Also watered today with distilled adjusted to 6.8 with .25 tsp/gal cha ching (for zinc, molybdenum, and iron) and...

Well they're normally 1100 new but I got a deal on cl got mine for 800. Yeah expensive as shit I know but if this light actually lasts 10 years and does decent it'll be worth it. My plan is to eventually have a micro grow cabinet scrog using this light as primary gotta see how it flowers first.

Hello everyone! Been off the grid for a while now I'm back.. Currently I have 4 bagseed under my new LED light. They all are about 22 days old very compact..initially thought they might have some ruderalis in em but since expelled that notion. Soil: FF happy frog, 25% perlite, 15% vermaculite...

whoops! posted in wrong forum sorry moderator. I'll move it to the other one journal section! sorry.

Ok so i'll hold back on the water until they perk up again... when I watered them the top 2 inches of soil was pretty dry... but thanks for the replys

Light: 345 watt (actual watts) with 1W diodes (penetrator from hydrogrowled) Soil: seed starter mix for now, no nutes as far as I know. Watering with: distilled water the first time (Sunday, July 17when sprouted) Then distilled water with .75 tsp liquid karma Plants...
