    Running a LED light would it be advisable to turn on the bloom section of LEDS ( w the VEG section still on of course) to be sure the girls can adjust to the more intense light without any burn before I commence on the Flower lighting 12 /12 schedule so I don't get them nervous? Thank You All

    Yet another LED question

    I just noticed the amazon graph says the viparspectra 1200 produces 496 watts of radiant power,not 49w. According to that would be 95 percent efficient.

    Yet another LED question

    Just to share my experience.... I have not seen hardly any heat from the viparaspectra 1200. In comparison to a my 1000w HPS just running (turned down) at only 500w to 750w flower My exhaust would have to run at full seed to keep tent cool with HPS and only maybe at 25 percent to cool with the...

    Yet another LED question

    The "1200w" viparspectra actually draws about 524 watts when in full power. LED manufactures generally use their model number ( 1200 in this case} to be the comparable watt light out put of a HPS. LEDs are more efficient than HPS in terms of heat energy loss.

    Yet another LED question

    I have the 1200w in a 4x4 it drops off slightly at the corners. The plants closer to the center do yield more. Amazon site does give a chart showing the light intensity pattern across the grow space. I would study the charts to see if 2) 900s would give better consistent coverage . The other...

    Is it OK to reuse coco coir so I don't have to haul it out to trash?

    If I don, t add anything to break down roots, just sift will it still be OK? Still damp from just a touch of nutrient RO water I watered with last couple of days before cutting. It has only been 5 days since this coco was in service. Thanks

    Is it OK to reuse coco coir so I don't have to haul it out to trash?

    When I finish my grow and after I remove the root ball can I reuse coco coir. The garbage men don't like picking up that weight and may just leave it if it is too heavy just drawing more attention from my neighbors. I realize it still has some small roots. I am assuming they will decompose...

    Any particular type of fruit skin can anyone recommend? I heard Boveda packs may remove some of the aroma and taste. If that is true are fruit skins are safer?

A greater concern is my weights seem pretty low. My questions are: How much weight gain May I expect...
