I just put my germinated seeds into the soil now. Wait for it to sprout and I'll turn on the light.
The light cycle must be 16/8 or 18/6? I got confused with the videos from Youtube because of the different inputs they give.
I also want to know the normal range of Temp, Humidty, PH of water and how do you manage to maintain those.

Will post picture of mine when I come back :)

i actually have my small led and cfls on even before they sprout that way it keeps it warm.
i start my seedlings at 24 hours from planting to 2 days after sprout. then i run them at 18/6 from there on til 12/12
as far as temp and humidity i have good intake and outtake airflow and fans in my veg tent it keeps it at about 28 c , 40-50 rh. my big tent stays at a steadyy 80 f, humidity is my only issue lights on at 60 rh and lights off 70-80 rh. if i leave some vents open then humidity goes down drastically to a solid 50 rh. air flow is key in my perspective.ph i dont even worry about unless i see a deficiency

looking good. i use 2 300 watt led flood lights to veg, one 2700k and one 5700, and they love it, but i still like hps to flower. i'll be watching to see what kind of results you get from the leds
good luck

i honestly do not know, they weren't being marketed as grow lights, they were intended to light up parking lots, so theres no info like that on them, just says 300 watts on the label. they produce about 30k lux together, and the plants seem to like the dual spectrum.

well they sure look nice.
usually they list it as how many led diodes there are like 150 3 watt diodes. so 450watts cut it in and you get around 255 true watts .those are the specs for my lights btw that i just listed.

Thanks! I will probably not gonna water for few days. I am a little confused, should I turn on the light 18/6 or 16/8?
18/6 is what i recommend.my lil method is leave the light on 24 hours for 2 days after they sprout just to be easy on them then i switch cycles.

watering day and week 4 day 6.

im low stress training kushberry #2 and #3 throughout veg.
topped kushberry #1 and rocklock #2 with lst through veg.
at the moment im doing nothing to rocklock #1 and #3.
i plan on tomato cage training all of them but mainly rl 1,3 (as well as supercropping the 2)
just experimenting what yields more using different methods for me.

last watering i barely gave them any so today i mixed in some general hydro floraklean clean solution and watered the girls til run off.
probably gonna flip to flower at week 8.
gave my girls in the small veg tent (RL 4-6 and KB 4-6) a couple drops of rapid start root enhancer nutrient mixed in a gallon of water gonna experiment and see if i notice a difference in growth.
