    Veg'd for 2 months

    Even that pot isn't an ideal size. You'll be fine with it this run and it's all going to be chalked up as a learning experience. When you repot, I'd recommend using only earthworm castings for fill. Maybe mix in some bone meal with it if you're feeling saucy. I prefer kitty litter buckets. They...

    Veg'd for 2 months

    Take a couple more measurements. Tall? Does it narrow at the bottom? Generally once it goes into flower you don't want to disturb the roots as it will stunt growth for a bit. If you just flipped today, you can still get away with a careful repotting.

    Play music for your plants to make them happy

    From what I've read, the plants seem to react most positively to songs that mimic bird sounds. I downloaded an app that plays zen relaxing music and chose a soothing track of melodious singing with actual birds singing in the background. Like what you'd hear when you get a massage. I play it for...

    Veg'd for 2 months

    I have some 15s that are 8 gallon. With so many pot designs, it's hard to throw a capacity on it without measurements. If you've started flowering, I would definitely not repot. If you're showing a deficiency, I'd top with 2 inches of worm castings. Can't really overdo it with worm castings.

    Veg'd for 2 months

    How big are the pots? 2 months of veg is pretty long for anything under 5 gallons. Some selective pruning to help airflow wouldn't hurt, as well as tying town the tops for a wider, more even canopy.

    The cheapest profile is $0.32 per inch. A 30 inch piece will dissipate 23 watts of heat passively. You'd need 3 of them, 90 inches, 28.80 before shipping and handling. The next cheapest option would be the 4.8 profile at .98 per inch and 1 36 inch piece would work passively. Doing it evenly...

    Anyone feed with every watering?

    I filled a barrel with rain water and put in a seaweed extract and a little bit of some FF soil drench. I use it every watering and FF nutes on occasion.

    The V22 has too much forward voltage for the drivers we have. Maybe 1 V22 and 2 18s per driver, but that's splitting hairs...

    Does anyone know the efficiency of an 18 at 300ma? I have to guess as the lowest graph I've seen goes to 500ma.

    Best time to increase wattage for flower?

    Some people leave it turned down for a week or 2 at the beginning of flower, I go one week at 75% then 100 until a week before harvest when I go to 75 again in an effort to preserve trichomes. I don't know that the late dimming helps or not, but I don't think it could hurt. Also, as far as I...

    I used active cooling for the main light bar and I suppose the T bars might be considered semi passive or something since they touch the actively cooled one. Maybe they're just considered passive. Either way, the outside 4 lights on the thinner bars are run at 300ma. I used 15 inch heatsinks...

    winter greenhouse light deprivation march april may ino needed

    You need a tarp. They need 12 hours of darkness. As dark as possible. Light leaks and 13 to 15 hours of light in flower aren't good. Also, you might want to consider adding supplemental lighting for cloudy days.

    I know it's a heatsink from heatsinkusa.com, their cheapest profile as far as surface area per dollar. 4.8 width maybe? I put 4 on each end and 1 in the middle to avoid a hotspot in the middle. I built it around the idea of adding 4 more at 300ma on the outsides for side lighting but haven't...

    I'll be pulling it down this weekend after a plant swap. I'll take measurements and pics for you.

    I have almost the same light, my drivers say 60-90vdc and 500ma. At 500ma, the vero 18 has a forward voltage of around 28 volts. 3 for each driver is perfect. After reading so much on these forums, I'm not even using the case anymore. Just the 3 drivers for 9 vero 18s, each around 2,000 lumens...

    Has anyone grown and harvested without checking ph levels?

    Snow works great. Make sure it gets to room temp first. No ice cold roots.
