What happened with cobs? You know there are ones out there with 197 lm/W at 50W for around 25$ that you can simply stick to cpu heatsink, but i only see strips lately?

0.1 is very soft water. I don't know exactly how much GH micro contains it, but i think people usually add about 150 to 350 ppm of cal mg.

0.1 EC? You need cal mg. But your nutrient feed may be too strong too.

I had only autos myself. Have question about speed on photo-periods, what if flipped to flower earlier to achieve about yield as auto, lets say 100 g, whats the fastest they could finish? I think im gonna try 12 12 in future with more plants to make for it.

Its gonna deplete soil around your neighborhood for a century, thing is bigger than your house:clap:. I was joking, looks fine to me. What strain?

Yeah things may go really wrong

I recommend diy. BXRC-35E10K0-C-7x-SE Test results; 855mA 66.2V 56.6W 11056lm 195 lm/W, 1710mA 69.4V 118.7W 19463lm 164 lm/W Unit price; 18 -28 €, digikey; 23,33 €.

I always check calyxes, that's those little bumps from which hairs grow out. I ignore sugar leaves or even other bud material, and its good to harvest when there are about 20% amber, i know they say thc in amber drops, but its about overall ripeness i think, you will always find some clear...

I've been experiencing lockout and buildups always during mid or late flowering even when feeding bellow schedule. Now i drain to waste, i dump about 20% of runoff every time and i rarely see any dead leaf.

Another option is perhaps check driver ratings (probably they aren't very efficient tho) and see if any reasonable new age led's fit, if i could not find a board i think some cob would fit, single or in series, values don't have to be exactly the same, led's can be a bit under driven if you find...

Those are bypass zener diodes i think not resistors in case if led dies the others will still work. You could replace leds with something even better than current ones but you should be careful that they operate on lower voltage than zeners. But i think led cases are also soldered onto metal...

If you have severe lockout and nutrient build up run-out ph will be very acidic from my experience.

My vote on above suggestions also, i don't think there is better choice out there especially for that price. They will outperform your current lights greatly, you wont be sorry, i had china burple and went to similar choice, now i wonder why i ever went for burple.

If you have a bit electrical knowledge you can diy 240 W from wall, top quality lights (180 lm/W or so) for around 150 $.

It does look like nitrogen, either is the lack, or roots of that particular plant cant absorb it.(soil ph (calibrate ph meter regular also), watering practices, runoff ppm). Perhaps you fixed it by increasing the dosage and it wont spread. Best of luck.
