Operation Hope: Day 1

Had some major problems with my plant, used maricle grow and was getting some major issues. To me it looks like a Manganese issue. So I bout some foxfarm, the nutrients, digital ph meter, 6" inline fan for my circulation, blasting it with more cfl's cuz im just vegging for a couple more weeks to see how it will bounce back. Whether it bounces back or not imma have an led light and a carbon filter waiting for when i force it into flower. Either way ill have better marijuana than im smoking now.

Here's to Operation Hope

Looks like your killing them with the heat of the lights and ferts basically.

Always strikes me as funny how people hide away those small cfl grows, like the cops are gona come knocking for a few cfls!lol!

Can i ask you what made you think of going with LEDs, im all for a 4/5inch ruck or vortex centrifugal fan but a carbon filter is just overkill for these plants right now, what inline fan do you presently have?

I would re-equip the grow room, decent light, flouros for veg and low wattage hps for flower, 250watt should be sweet with a 5inch ruck inline fan and yeild some good homegrown closet bud. Lay of the ferts and make sure temps hit no higher than 25 celcius, for those struggling plants id rather 20 celcius temps. Hope this helps and Peace

chose the led because of its lower wattage and gets same effect for flowering...electrical wiring in apartment is too old, dont want to take the chance of overloading and/or catching something on fire...using the grow tent because i have a gf who doesnt take too kindly to my experiment...using a 6"inline fan, also using the carbon filter because this is not my first grow and the last grow i did had my whole apartment smelling like burning marijuana insense that just wouldnt go out...when i switched to the foxfarm soil and starting using the "grow" nutrients my plant is now looking a whole lot healthier as far as the leaves are concerned...looks like the vertical growth is gonna be stunted but i plan on vegging for another week to see if i can get any extra height to get more yield...

Sounds good dude, how hot are them LED units anyway, ive heard some have heat problems but would assume most inline fans could deal with them? Peace

from what i read on the reviews of the LED units it gives off a lot less heat than HIDs.

awe man just over a week and she's looking sooooooo much better. yesssssssss

yea big improvement.

Small plants -> use less fertilizer. 1/4th strength, then 1/2, then 3/4th, then full.
they wont get mad if you starve them a little, and if you overfeed them, they die.

looking much much better tho.

Well done, you learned, now ditch them crappy leds!lol! Peace
