That is a nice light, but holy hell expensive. For that you are paying for cosmetic looks, has the same diodes as everybody else, but maybe their drivers are super special?

I bought this LED, because it received a very high appreciation by MIGRO on youtube. He is a LED specialist, and he was very impressed by the performance of this light

LED specialist that talks out his ass sometimes. I will say, dude knows more than I could ever hope to, but he still has a lot of things I do not agree with, like talking crap on UV LED's when he has no test equipment for it. I'm sure it is a bad ass light, but no matter how it is described or who recommends it, it is still not worth the price. Also, that said i wouldn't mind if somebody gave me one, i'd use it and give an honest review

Well I like it alot, looks very bright, runds very cool (only makes temp rise like 1'C) and yes its not cheap, but its build very well and has a long warranty. Easy to assemble and good looking. Yes u can buy some cheap china LED, which will probably last 1year and then leds degrade or whatever. But I wanted to go good from the start.

Today we did our first LST (Low Stress Training) on the girls. I feel they are old enough to start getting this training as they all developed a 3rd node.
I also upped the nutrient solution to 0.9EC at morning and 1.0EC in the evening.

Day 19
------
Temp : 24-26C
RH : 60-70%
Light : 50% @ 60cm for 18h
Water : 400ml of nutrient mix twice a day
EC : 1.0
Video update :

Wow! They grew ALOT since yesterday, the nutes and LST are really doing their job, and I can see them grew in front of my eyes. Amazing!
We upped the feeding to 1.0EC while dropping the calmag a little, since we want her to get other nutes aswell at a higher rate, since calmag has the tendency to raise EC alot.

Nutrient solution
Sensi Cal-Mag Extra : 0.5ml/L
Sensi Coco Grow A : 1,5ml/L
Sensi Coco Grow B : 1,5ml/L
B-52 : 1.5ml/L
Voodoo Juice : 2.0ml/L

Day 20
------
Temp : 24-26C
RH : 60-70%
Light : 50% @ 60cm for 18h
Water : 400ml of nutrient mix twice a day
EC : 1.1
Video update :

They are growing strong every day, every day I have to redo the tie-downs since they are growing out of them. Today I measured ph & ec of some of the pots run-off, and they seemed high (6.3 to 6.5) and all having an EC lower than 0.9 so they are feeding well, but the pH is problematic. But after talking to some expert growers, they suggested that Runoff PH is not a problem, since PH is managed by the roots themselfs. As long as EC is lower or equal, we are on the right track :)
I flushed 1 girl which is suffering from a Nitrogen Toxicity, only giving her plain ph'd water tonight, hoping to see something better tomorrow. Im also gonna leave out the Rhino Skin/Cal Mag/B52 in tonights feed.

Nutrient solution
Sensi Coco Grow A : 2ml/L
Sensi Coco Grow B : 2ml/L
Voodoo Juice : 2.0ml/L
Piranha : 1ml/L
Nirvana : 1ml/L
Bud Candy : 0.5ml/L

Today I tied some of the plants down again since they pulled loose their straps. I gave them another feeding except for the N-Tox plant which I gave a feeding of 0.7EC.
I buffered every watering little lower to 5.7ph.

Sensi Coco Grow A : 2ml/L

Day 22
------
Temp : 24-26C
RH : 65
Light : 50% @ 60cm for 18h
Water : 400ml of nutrient mix three
EC : 1.1
Video update :

Our girls are showing their first pistils! Good news! Some of the plants have started making pistils, currently 5 out of 18 plants are showing the pistils, and entering pre-flower. When most of the girls show signs of pistils we will start introducing the BLOOM nutrients.
After measuring our EC today, I noticed that run-off was between 0.5-0.7, which means the girls are feeding ALOT. So we are going to implement an extra feed so we get 3 feeds in total per day untill we have the dripsystem.
I also changed the position of the fans today to blow over the plants and not directly on them, since I think what was causing the sad leaves was a sign of wind burn.

Nutrient solution
Sensi Coco Grow A : 2ml/L
Sensi Coco Grow B : 2ml/L
Nirvana : 2ml/L
Bud Candy : 1ml/L

Day 23
------
Temp : 24-26C
RH : 65
Light : 75% @ 60cm for 18h
Water : 400ml of nutrient mix three times a day
EC : 1.2
Video update :

Today we introduced a new nutrient in our feeding schedule "SensiZym" an enzyme that will break down the nutrients and make them more available to the roots, its also getting rid of the old root to make room for the new ones. The girl that we tought was a hermie, showed she is doing fine and is in fact a girl. Other than that we tucked some big fan leaves under the new growth, to give them better acces to the light. We also bumped up the EC to 1.2 because our girls are feeding like crazy!

Nutrient solution
Rhino Skin : 1ml/L
Sensi Coco Grow A : 2ml/L
Sensi Coco Grow B : 2ml/L
Nirvana : 2ml/L
B-52 : 1ml/L
Sensizym : 0.5ml/L
Bud Candy : 1ml/L

Today we are trying to fix our Iron deficiency, the only way for me to solve this is add more Calmag & more base nute part A since those are the 2 that contain iron.

You do not fix an Iron deficiency by adding more Calmag. Too much Ca will cause Iron lockout. I see in an above post that you were wrongly advised you had a Calcium deficiency so you've already started adding more of the stuff.

I think you may be compounding your issues by adding stuff randomly.

I got the advice from Dr.MJ Coco, he's a pretty knowledgable guy, but he might have made a wrong decision on the photos he was presented. I added more calmag, since it was the only nutrition that contained iron in it, thats how I figured to add it. He never told me to add that, he just told me the deficiency. The Cal defiency was going on before the iron deficiency was happening. Lately I ph my solution down to 5.8ph and it seems to help alot, they look healthier now. Before I was going with the PH that the "PH Perfect Technology" was giving me from Advanced Nutrients themselfs. So that was probably my mistake. But thnx for the reply :)
