I think what is the "best" light, aka the most efficient in a long term, one very important factor is how much u pay for a KWh. Here in Germany i pay about 0.30$ for a KWh, which is very high compared to the rest. So i will replace my HPS with QB by the time, so that i can also grow between june...

Thats a very intersting thread for me, because i plan to invest some money in new lights just in a few weeks. I live in germany, where i pay about .35$/KWh. So a very efficient light will pay out much faster than anywhere else,,, ATM i run hps/mh and I'm happy with it, it is better than my old...

Humidity is way overrated! Maybe the most overrated factor in growing. You just have to know 2 things about that: If you have non-rooted clones, you need a high RH, so that they can get their water with their leaves. in mid- to end flower a high RH will very likely cause budrott, under 60% is...

Room is 3,6m × 2,5m, which is 9 m². 1,6x2,5 is for the hole ebb n flow which, as said, i like to use for at least one more year. So there is 2m×2,5m=5m² left. 1m² for the veg. tent and about 2m² for free space and stuff (which can be placed somewhere else). So i have about 2m², maybe slighly...

and ones again: thank you very much! I feel a bit bad, because i get a lot of help here and i did not helped (maybe a bit with the hole thread) other growers. On grasscity i helped quite a lot of ppl., thing i will do it also here, when my plan is set in stones.

Yes, my "pinnball machine" behaviour is because i want to improve my system and harvest more. And i think i have too many ideas atm. I'm very satisfied with my current setup right now, so it will stay as the "heart" of the hole setup. I also like my current idea (tomorrow maybe not anymore^^)...

Here are some pics of the current grow, i run PH 5,5 to 6,0, mostly 5,8. EC was quite high last days, to "test" the plants. Was EC 1,80 (1,60 nutes + 0,20 water), is back to 1,60. Training was also done, first time defoliation for me! And i improved the nutriculture sytem to get a better...

Here is my new chart: also i like to get a big cloner for the next grow. Have to think about a nice lamp. Should be about 400-500 watts, right now a good quantum board might be a choice. "Light" DIY like plug n play^^ is okay, but i won't do a full DIY.

Yeah, i see now the problems. I think i liked "my" idea a bit too much, because it was quite unique and it was, as said, my own idea. Don't like in general to copy things, i more like to be creative and try new stuff. But in this case it could be a too risky thing to do, cause it may cost a...

Danke für die super ausführliche Antwort!! I will post some pics of my current setup which is the ebb n flow table alone. Lights are on in 2h. Right now i have a grow from seeds with Northern Lights, Critical and 2 bonus seeds Calini Asia. I know some of the plant training techniques, as you...

First Tent: clones & mothers under T5 light or something like that. After clones are well rooted, maybe after 1 or 2 weeks veg.-----> Second tent: if necessary (depends on how many plants i will grow), one more week veg., than switch to flower. Plants will stay in autopots or dwc in single pots...

@Keesje and @Darkoh69 : you both seem to me some really experienced growers. Can you recommend me two or 3 strains with us genetics? some with OG, GSC, gorilla glu, etc. Should be a heavy yielder and maximum of 9 weeks flowering time in a hydro setup!

Just readed every post here again before i smoke the first joint today^^, yes, i meant to harvest every 5 weeks, not months!

The seller of my grow shop told me just 2 days ago, that hps are still very good and quite underrated in the "led-times" nowadays. they outperform cheap led's with same power output. but high quality quantums are a different story, maybe they will yield even slightly more (400w VS. 600w in this...

Sounds interesting, i think i will still use my 600 w HPS in the winter. Could be interesting to compare them with 400 w led's. I bet the HPS will yield slightly more. I will buy some high quality quantums but no diy.

I run my current setup for 1 year, without any problems. Just a regular grow with a mother/clones tent and the ebb & flow table. With this i can harvest about every 13 weeks, was using mostly sativa hybrids in the past. With the inclusion of a second flowering tent, as mentioned, and mostly...

Thanks for the reply. That's a huge and nice grow room, Darkoh! My Initial question was "how to harvest the maximum over a year with ebb and flow systems and a maximum power usage of about 2000W in total?". So i came up with this idea. constant work is no problem. Should not be over 1h per day...

Yeah, this in combination with "no native speaker"

Any other opinions about this topic? Thanks in advanced.

Hey JD! I just want to harvest as much as possible to make oil or other extracts at the end, i will use 8 weeks, indica heavy hybrids just like now. maybe a cbd heavy strain in the future.
