run your rooms 5 degrees hotter than you would with hid and never run 24/0 in veg, gotta do 18/6. thats the learning curve. save on AC big time in the summer because a) you're running 5 degrees hotter, and b) LED puts off way less heat than hid
Can you run gas lantern technique in veg with LED? Or is 18/6 best? Don't have the one for veg yet but will be next.
I run mine 24 on veg all the time... just so then I dont have to light proof my veg area lol also love the profile name and pic man! RTJ for life!!!
Run The Jewels!!! Def Jux, Company Flow- El-P is in a class of his own!!!
Sooo, LED plus coco = super mg deficiencies. Reason I ask is I'm about to do some coco/perlite hempy buckets. Not like I'm going to tear down my HPS right away, so they will be there if need be. Honestly I can't wait to see them under a different spectrum, what they really look like,, not yellow. Going to be an adventurous start to the new year! Thank you so much for all your guys and gals help, Boo.
Epsom salt will be your friend.
So I've actually only had MG deficiencies under my LEDs when the canopy temps get too low. Apparently without the red spectrum of HID the plant doesn't respirate properly and doesn't take up enough MG without supplementation. I use Veg+Bloom or super soil though which both have a good bit of MG in it so I can't speak for other nutrient lines
It's about temp and humidity to get your vpd
If you blend spectrum it’s a mute point and life goes on unaffected.
Also/or get your vpd vs humidity ratios correct and your soil ca/mg ratios correct and the soil will do its work.
Got a bag waiting, as long as my daughter didn't take it for her baths. Lol She does sports and gets quite sore, pushes herself too hard if you ask me.
My plan is to tear down one hps and replace with led then when I have enough money replace the othe hps with led. I thought you were telling me to keep my hps as well maybe just go down in wattage. If I'm reading this right your telling me to throw the hps in the recycle which is what I was planning and what my wife is expecting.
I recently made the switch from bottles to dry nutes and I'm loving the price difference. Granted... my lazy ass hates massing out and string until everything is dissolved, but so far I've only spent like 15 cents on nutes and I've had some BOG sour grapes in veg for like a month or more?
I'm like you, "how much did it cost me to grow that?" Lol.
Cross country, now that takes guts. Always thought they had determination beyond what the "popular " sports had. You can't be lazy and do that one, baseball....eh. lol
Personally I switched to led but found that the sweet spot is alternating light source, not ditch the hps. Although I like cmh with hortilux for uv boost. That with led panels is beasto and the life of these bulbs is like 3 years, compensate with the leds and I get best of both worlds! No metabolic issues with it either.
