Awesome thank you guys. I'll repot next day or so. Would you recommend that I remove the small bottom leaves and bury the stems? Or is it better to just let those leaves grow out and make branches?

For comparison here are some beefsteak bush tomato plants, they were started around the same time and in the same fertilizer soil medium mix. They haven't had the benefit of lighting or a fan. Just in a window and outside. They are kind of small for their age but no dying leaves. They did look a...

Hi everybody, just looking for some more opinions/ideas on what is wrong with these sad forlorn plants now. These are two months old now. The pots are 3.5" across the top to give an idea of the scale. So I did have some white powdery mold on them about a month ago I think because i didn't have...

Thanks for the suggestion Dandy. I managed to find one on aliexpress for $13CDN shipped, will just take a month to get here. Looks just like the ones i have and same specs. I know its probably not the best quality but I don't want to put alot of money into this right now. Maybe later I will get...

Do the specs have to exactly match the voltage? I found some 50 watt drivers that look like this one but output voltage in the 20-40 volt range. Also I have seen reference to one color versus 3 color drivers, and tune. Do I need to be concerned about that. I found what looks like an identical...

Sorry about the first pic, I tried to turn it around so it looked better but it looks upside down. Here is a bigger one. So what does everyone think, top notch light or what? Hahah :-)

Thanks for the replies everybody. At first it would turn on for 2 secs and then go out. Now, it doesn't come on at all. I don't know if it was every working normally before or not, I bought this from a guy who said he got it at a fundraising auction and he didn't know anything about it other...

Hey everybody I have a generic chinese-made COB X5 1500W light. When I turn it on, at first all of the 5 cells light up but after about 2 seconds one of them goes out and doesn't come on again (always the same cell). I tried searching online and in the forum here but wasn't having much luck...

I took the dome off. Put a thermometer at the level of the leaves/canopy. Its reading around 33 celsius (91.4F) isn't that too high? But I can hold my hand comfortably under the lights. The room temperature is about 20 celsius or so 70F.

I cannot get a fan in under the plastic dome. Do I even need that any more? Maybe I should remove it now I guess so the heat doesn't collect. I thought I needed to keep the humidity up.

Hey Logan thanks. I haven't put a thermometer inside the dome yet, I will get one that fits in there to check. When i have laid a thermometer on top of the dome it gets really hot over 50 celsius but thats right under or next to the lights. I don't have any ventilation in it. I will check the...

Here are some pics

Hey can I get some advice on these seedlings. This is my first time growing. Only other experience is growing lettuce tomatoes herbs last year. I am concerned about the yellowing developing on one of them. I figure the yellowing is either 1. too much light/heat 2. not enough light or 3. needs...
