Without a watering system that will become much more time consuming vs. DWC. Not to mention the different nute mixtures for the plants that are in various stages of life.
Did you put soil in your netpot? You should use hydroton (clay pellets). To me, it looks like the roots will make the soil wet as the plant drinks, so it wont go dry anyways. I found this thread, check it out.

The way I see it, you can get the same results by using less watts of LED. This makes less heat and lower bills. But as we are discussing the fact that all watts are not created equal, don't forget that not all watts of LED are equal either. Lights like the Area51s' are even more efficient...
Multipass just pulled 120g on his blueberry grow with a xgs-190. I think that's pretty good for a yield. He could have done even better with a different strain.
Yeah I noticed the numbers on the A51 site the other day and I thought it was well worth it to get the 2x75s.

You mentioned your computer being 550w and on all the time. Try getting a low powered PC like an android on a stick or something you can use for surfing. I can connect my phone to my monitor and surf on that, then you can only turn on your PC for gaming. If this is not an option, sorry, I...
I'm glad to see that at least 1 person who replied to this thread actually gave usable input. What ever happened to peace love and smokin' weed man?
I ordered the 2xRW-75s. Super stoked, can't wait!
Thanks Stardustsailor and Jeff.
Hey guys lookin for some advice.
Tent size: 36x18 by 60" high
Current light: 250w HPS with an old bulb that needs replacing.
Previous Ligh: 2x 180w Blackstar (60x3w)
So for that space I was going to scrap the HPS cuz of heat and go back to LED. I was set on getting the xgs-190 so I emailed...
You are supposed to add ph up or ph down to get within the desired level.
Also, when you add nutes to your water it changes the ph, so check ph after adding nutes.
Search the site for information about the ph of water and what ph these plants need. Get some sort of ph tester. The cheap drops work great. You would also want to check the ppm (or tds) of the water. Digital meters to check these things make life easier but are $10-$25 each for the basic ones.
TGA doesn't actually sell seeds on their site, they have information on where to get them though. It's weird that one says out of stock though, I suppose it's because they also sell wholesale.
