Modern LED is more efficient than HID lighting and produces more usable light per watt than HPS. a space that requires 1000 watts of HPS to thrive should only require about 650 to 750 watts of LED.
not everybody has loose lips. I grew in a non legal state for the better part of a decade and my wife is the only human being that knew about it. I really don't understand the brand of stupidity required to brag about the very illegal shit you're doing in your house. That being said, I never...
I can vouch for In House and CSI. Been running a great Orkle pheno from IH (Purple Urkle x Tahoe OG) and an outstanding Sherbet x SFV OG cross from CSI for a couple years now. The sherb cross is a total bitch to grow but the bud is outstanding.
I'm about to flip my girls into flower. 4 plants. 1x Sherb Valley (Sherbet x SFV OG) 1x Orkle (Purple Urkle x Tahoe OG) 1x Porkle F3 (Orkle x Papaya) 1x Papaya.
I have recently started running 2 HLG QB 288 boards (same ones in the 135 kit) in my 2x2 running at about 75 watts each. One board cranked worked fine, but the coverage I get running 2 at lower powers is insane. Getting damn near uniform ppfd all the way out to the corners. its probably overkill...
I have a 2x2 tester tent that I run about 150 to 170 watts of LED in. typically run 2 plants in 3 gallon pots or 4 plants in 1 gallon pots, promix, Jack's nutrients, pull 4 to 6 Oz out of it with minimal effort. i top each plant twice and some light LST.
if you're following fox farms feed schedules you are overfeeding the hell out of them. I have only gone passed %50 recommended feed strength with FF a few times.
too much light can raise all kinds of problems without CO2 and proper feeding. if you don't have some kind of light meter you are going to play the game of raising and lowering the light until the plants respond positively.
for 21 square feet (assuming you use all of that space) will require something like 750 watts of LED lighting (actual watts, not 'equivalent') or 1000+ watts of HPS. I think your best value would be to look at DIY LED options for energy savings or a 1000 watt HPS if a lower upfront cost with...
definitely mag deficiency. whether it's due to underfeeding or pH issues I cannot say. I was just having the same issue in my tent and bumping my Temps a bit and upping my calmag sorted it out quickly.
tons of fresh white pistils and lack of swelling of the calyx are the two biggest indicators. If it isn't immediately obvious to someone that those are not done then I would guess that person has never seen a mature cannabis flower.
not without provenance they don't. If you can reliably track the genetic lineage of what you are growing then you can be fairly confident in what you have. The way I think of it is, just because some half assed 'breeder' sold some seeds that falsely claimed to be Northern Lights doesnt mean...
