Is it a true 300w draw or a 300w equivalent. I saw a 200w cfl with a listed draw at 43w.

Ah yeah. It does sometimes take them a bit to perk up if they are that thirsty. Good for you!

In theory the LED would be more efficient. Most hid lights put out a lot of green spectrum and plants don't use a lot of it where they use more blues and reds. Also less heat.

It seems he isn't really looking for anything that powerful. I wouldn't dare touch 2k watts plus accessories. Too much for my little garden. My tomato plants would burn up in that.

One thing to watch with leds is the equivalent wattage and the actual draw. They say actual draw is all that counts, but I'm not so sure. It seems proper (undefined as of yet) PAR is what counts.

That would be the first sign of over watering, next begins root problems and that can manifest itself in many ways.

Over/underwatering Easiest way to tell. Basically plants hold their form and leaves out by water pressure. If there is too much water in the leaf, it gets weighed down by it because the petiole cannot support the weight. It feels thick and full. If the plant is under watered there is not...

Bad watering technique? Best to water a bit and give it 10 min to soak in an then water some more. Gotta give the dirt time to absorb. Glad you got it sorted.

Over/underwatering. Feel the leaves. Plants maintain their shape basically with water pressure. If there is too much water in the leaves they weigh too much and pull the petiole down. If there is not enough, the "ballon" of a leaf deflates and droops limp and lifelessly.

Crop king seeds has a purple lineup I believe

What are your ppms and ph? My plants looked droopy with all sorts of deficiencies like that when my ph was off and I wasn't feeding nearly enough. Also, temps?

About the tap water... Be careful that you do not use the water if it has passed through a water softener. If it has, normally any outdoor taps bypass it.

There are some seed banks with guaranteed germination rates and I know of one that will only replace seeds if you follow this exact method and don't get the rates they promise.

Were you getting that problem before transplanting? If you were, the damaged leaves will continue to deteriorate. You can't stop it. I know I had that problem, transplanted, and was fine for about a week, but ended up loosing the bottom two leaves. These plants eat a lot... If it continues...

I can try to clarify about the deficiencies. Gonna make you work for it though. Google a nutrient ph uptake chart and take a look at the the ph levels at which nutrients are absorbed. There are high ph nutes and low ones for soil. That is why you want to be in the middle 6.5-6.8 ish. Soil...

Yeah man. It can still be micro. Even if you only get 2-4 weeks. Look up info on low stress training and you can keep em really short.

Your plants look like they have a lot of problems. Back to basics. What is your pH? What is the pH of your runoff? Flush with pH'd water and feed 1/4 to 1/2 strength general veg nutes. Your plants are showing some severe deficiencies. When this happens they either are deficient in a lot of...

Do you have a water softener? If so, don't use that water. All the salts are bad. Usually there are outside or garage taps that don't run through it. Use that water.

Yeah man, go over some of the stickied threads. There are some great pics that show how to identify a plant gender. Then again, you can just google that. They are very straight forward to understand. However, if the plant is still young, you won't be able to tell. Also, yes 12/12 for...

Are you running co2? That max of 93 degrees is distressing
