Id really like to give LED lighting a shot. I know some guys are just plain agianst them but i know alot of people with poositive reviews. They should still work alright though correct? And as far as nutes what do you suggest? tweaking it a bit or a completely different system? And if so what to use exactly. Maybe something relatively simple for my first run

For a first timer to hydro i alway rec technoflora bc line of nutes, super simple and cost effective!
it sounds like you already have the led lighting so you might aswell use them. Good luck and if
you need help just hit me up anytime

Thanks for the advice. I dont actually have the lights yet, I was just hoping to get away from hps for a few different reasons. As far as LEDs go Ive done a shitload of research and the vipar a300s are what I landed on. Are you familiar with using LEDs eith this system or is there anyone that does?. . .with success

These systems grow trees with huge canopys! Needing good lighting. I myseft never jumped into led, everbody i see or
know that have were sorry! I have seen killer t-5 grows over these setups, that might be a better choice and cheeper.

The t-5 set up looks like an interesting alternative. can't seem to find a thread on here about it tho. Could you point me in the right direction as far as specs go? like watts/coverage things like that

I have run pannels start to finish with t-5, look to hydrofarms 8tube 4ft. Pannels there about 350 watts each. Pannels
are 2 1/2 x 4

That seems too be the controversy; whether you can grow from start to finish. Are there different bulbs that I should get for veg and bloom? Is the coverage pretty much the dimensions of the light since you put them so close?

Coverage would be close to what led putout but with better penetration! And yes the foot print is about the size of
the light, maybe a tad bigger! Theres bloom bulbs and veg bulbs, there cheap and last forever lol

I'm interested in the reason for wanting to drop hps lighting? I wouldn't give up my hps's unless I gave up growing need good lighting to grow quality product with good yields.

I think theres more to it other than just not wanting to run hids, i tryed to tell him lol

Hay HR. Speaking of nutes. Ive switched to the full line of heavy 16. In week 6 of flower almost 2200ppm. No burn. Running pro level. Hot damn in loving it. Just wouldn't tell a noob to run pro.

Didn't mean to jack the thread. But I know you have been looking into H16.

Man they look good for 2200, wonder how long you can push like that before you get a salt buildup! You
doing a mid flush or bi weekly flush?

Only did a system rinse at week 4.

Hey guys (warlock and hellraizer). I'm just looking for some quick lazy answers to a couple questions.

I've seen some mention of 5 gallon sites for growing larger plants. In your experiences, are 2-1k HPS lights good enough for 12 sites at two gallons? Does growing larger plants seem more efficient? How do the 5 gallon sites affect your lighting?

Thanks in advance.

I just changed up my lights.picked up a light rail and removed the 600w. So now I'm only running 2 1000w in the flower room of 15 plants. Bucket size doesn't change light. Just makes a larger area. And 6 plants under a 1000w is great. 3-5 footers all day.

Love it dude! Stay cool.

Warlock I am about to pick up the pro line of h16 after seeing your results. I had been debating it because I still have like half of my AN stuff left but from everything I have heard H16 is amazing. Exactly what products are you using from them and other companies? Another thing I am wondering is if i had the brown slime how should I go about disinfecting everything to make sure I don't get it again. So far I am using steel wool pads to scrub all the buckets down with regular dawn dish soap. Then I am going to put all the buckets in 1 by 1 into the rez full of water and physan 20... an extremely heavy dose. Hoping this will be good enough cause I do not want to run heisenbergs tea again due to the fact its so much extra work and smells up my bedroom. One last thing, how soon can you start using h2o2 in your rez? my clones are still in solo cups with rockwool.

I'm using the full line. Base and prime in veg. Base, prime and fire in flower. I'm also using a 0-50-30 bloom booster. But I wouldn't advise you to go to the pro to start. Use the light or heavy first. Findout how your plants grow with it first. Then you can go to the pro. That way you can watch and see if you need to back off on anything. If your burning back down. If you don't see a difference from heavy to pro. Back down your wasting money. And buy prime as big as you can. On the heavy16 site you give your res size and everything is there. And you can order your full grow needs in 1 shot. I have 3 different sizes and stages. So this helps.

Don't use steel wool on anything! You will put scratches that can never be cleaned. A brush and sponge is all you need. After scrubbing everything steralize everything for a day. Then rinse and start growing.

I'm not a H2O2 guy anymore. Fully organic tea. But you can use it from the start. Just font over do the ppm.
