Why LEDs?

[Prawn Connery]

I don't use climate control, so temps vary. Right now (mid-winter), I'm recording temps of 10-25C. In summer, that will be around 15-20C minimum, and up to 35-40C maximum. ECs average 2.2. I run heavier to begin with (up to EC2.4) and tail off during the grow as salts build up in the coco. Though drain-to-waste does self-flush, salts still tend to build up in coco, especially inside the pot, and near the top, where there is a lot of evaporation. I use a hybrid organic/mineral salt nutrient (Canadian Xpress, also known as CX Nutrients), and a silica additive. I never used to use Cal-Mag under HPS, but I do under LED. There's less transpiration under LED, so the plants seem to like higher ECs to compensate.

Ok thanks for the info!!

I am running pure perlite in air pots so the medium dries out as fast as possible, then I water as soon as I feel they arent fully saturated with water. I find the lower the water holding capacity of the medium, the more often you can water which leads to faster growth.


I just finished my new setup, have never grown with my latest setup, I will speak to you again in two months, maybe I can get massive cola's like yours, if I dont, then I will the next run!

Im running 1.8EC now, but I think ill push it to 2.0. I make my own nutrients. I dont include Silica right now, but I do have it and I will start using it.


Peace out!

I dont know why do you LeD guys even bother.. This was troll post from the start .. Let other's grow with fckng candle if they will.Why do you give a fck anyway?.?

i can only take a picture of one elbow at a time, need to hold the cam in the other hand...

would 2 separate pictures satisfy your need?

Your experience is what sucks

last run and best to date was 3.88lbs per 4x4 using about 760 watts per..

Which is why you made a thread asking us?

Picture or just just full of shit.

You fucking people don’t even know how to cultivate. This site is for Cops. This is a BS form. Non of you people seem to know shit, on this post or any other post. MFers asking about rooting and shit. Basic 101 shit. Read a book.

 

[DuBR]

Nice I have my lights over 4x4 it's hard to get over 2 lb per 4x4 but in a 5x5 3-4 sounds reasonable

I can pull 2 easy in a 3x3
But I don’t use LEDs

18oz @345W left, 20oz @400W right in 7-8 weeks. One plant per light, so not the most efficient way to grow. But 1.4-1.5gpw is entirely possible with LED.

4lb from a DE HPS? I want to see it.

That might be 2 lbs you got a picture of. So like 1 to 1-12 per 4x4 is what your getting with those LEDs
I can look at those pics and tell

Fine....it's settled......1 elbow per 3x3.

570 wall watts, 2.2 lb.
View attachment 4360905
260 watts.
View attachment 4360906
330 watts.
And I don't even try to max my yields.

) that’s bs like one pic those scraggly tall pos and the one that does look good looks like 1-1 1/2 oz plants. So you got 1 pound under that light finished.

Personally cant stand **CHEAP** LEDs, had a Viparspectra

Fixed it bro.
