It's both. It's the LED lights combined with a bit of over watering. When I'm dealing with these cardboard pots before they go into their final location I'm dancing a fine line between too dry and too wet. So I leave a quarter inch on the bottom of the tray for the roots to get to. In some cases...

And here is it filled up just as an initial layout to figure out what I can fit in it and if it maintains environment. This is not the final kitchen area rack. I want a metal baker rack that has 5 shelves adjustable that goes much wider and higher but these lights would not be enough and it was...

Here are the shelves set up to start off with. The lights ended up being 7 watts per strip, 16 inches per strip. They cost 28 bucks for this for 4 bars so it was a buck a watt which is double what I typically pay for a watt but I got highly flexible placement. LED Plant Grow Light Strips, 4Pcs...

You want pics? Here's the next. The cabbage got killed for failure to thrive along with a couple others, the broccoli got thinned to one per as well as the turnips but the turnips don't look very good in my environment. I think it's too wet for them. Of course the lettuce is growing like crazy...

This is too good not to share for searchable history. When my wife was a kid she was one of eight children. She lived in a row house in Philadelphia on poisoned land. There was a heavily toxic heavy metal chemical plant of some type on this land previously. This is not land to be growing...

Good enough, thank you very much. But I actually have to also grow what my wife wants. And that lettuce is such a waste of space but it is growing so nicely and she really wants it so I'm not going to kill it. I will post occasional pics.

I'm not sure if you read the whole thread before responding. I thank you for your advice and I am quite aware. 90% will be gone in a month. Maybe more. Maybe sooner. It doesn't matter. This is an experiment that I am enjoying and I have time for. I love waking up in the morning and...

You mentioned 5 gallon buckets. There will be no 5 gallon buckets. In the case of this one and only indoor grow I assume I will have fabric boxes that are separated into 1 ft by 1 ft by 1 ft segments. That will give me both containment and ease of management and I will never try to move them...

I'm not doing any potatoes right now because the top is poisonous and the nutrient value of a bit of starch for that amount of space is just insane inside. Not doing any onions because I can buy a bag of those once a month. They don't have to be fresh. But for when I go outside I'd like some...

Thank you very much. In my reading I learned that root vegetable plants will produce far more tops and far less roots in a high nitrogen environment. But I actually want to continuously harvest those tops over a period of time so I don't mind that I'm just going to be getting a bunch of tops on...

Totally understood. Please define what pretty deep is. Note what my handle is. Testtime. It is time to test. Is always time to test but in this case it's all brand new education. As far as root vegetables versus anything else though, those are the most nutrient dense ones while giving me tops...

Long wall of text to follow, please don't b**** at me if you don't like to read, click away now. I have an 8x4 tent with four LED lights that are capable of filling a 5x5 for cannabis growing. About 3 ft down of totally filled flowering for each light. They penetrate well. Each light consumes...

That article is 5 years after I was doing it. I have no idea what the wavelengths the heat lamp kicked out. We didn't have specific nanometers for lights, we had ranges. This was before LED lights and very specific wavelengths.

That was a damn fine article. I'm pretty sure that my heat lamps did a range. This was not a time of exact LEDs. This was a heat lamp that did a range of light. Thanks. It did not address the specific breakdown of the hormones that are present during the daylight which then changed to different...

Right. Can you read by moonlight? Barely. After your night vision kicks in. There's absolutely no reason to have absolute darkness for cannabis.

Exactly that. You could do the research or I could go track it down for you. The phytochrome hormones that decide whether or not flowering about to happen are sensitive to certain wavelengths of red light. I don't know which particular wavelengths anymore. But you wave the french fry lamp over...

My thought process started on this when I picked up this tent. JT Jupetory Grow Tent 96"x48"x80" 8x4 2x2 4x4 4x2 Mylar Hydroponic Growing Tent with Removable Floor Tray for Indoor Plant Growing Garden Growing Dark Room(96x48x80 INCH)...

I see lots of reviews about people bitching about pinholes and bits of light coming into the tent. In the outside world there's moonlight, there's starlight, and I just don't understand why people give a s*** about pinholes in tents. When I was growing cannabis before I put the plants to sleep...

Me too. I want it all. This is the first time I've ever grown anything other than pot. It seems that the pepper plants want 10° higher than everybody else. And you have to pay attention to the depth of the seeds very closely. They vary all over the place. And actually germination can take 3...

I suggest you staple gun thick plastic to all the walls and ceiling as a vapor block so you don't rot them out. Get an electric staple gun, your hand will thank you. Cut long pieces of skinny cardboard to press against the plastic and then staple gun the cardboard which then goes through the...
