I stand corrected on efficiency. And I use 2 of those exact drivers lol. But my points remain, above 75% the driver is cooking. I'm not an engineer able to translate efficiency to heat, but it sure isnt just the light boards getting hot.

So if I quote meanwell saying their max efficiency is running 50%, and that same quote had a graph showing it fell off on both sides...lower efficiency on either side of 50%....would you guys bother to check or just say whatever lol?

I get the idea from using the equipment and observing how it works. I offered good practical advice you agree with but want to say what exactly, I'm wrong the drivers dont produce a ton of heat? Lol ok. Do you grow? Meanwell doesnt claim 96%, and sure doesn't claim that at full power...

You had me at 12 foot ceilings.

No you may be overlooking some details. The heat mostly comes from the driver that powers the lights. The rest comes from the lights themselves. As you turn down the lights, the heat produced by the driver and the lights goes down. To increase heat, raise lights higher, turn up power...

A+ for having such a clean space. It is so clean I would almost believe you have a cleaning service. Very impressive and the lighting tips are huge. A dude named tbone shuffle, named after the artist I guess, used to say this too. About 25k lux in veg is enough. I think that is so key too...

I got to know many folks who work at the dispensaries and several also work on associated farms. They mostly start working at the dispensary, and where possible get hired on to help a lead grower. Translated: they got legal jobs in the industry and then proved themselves. I have not...

Next time you are at a party or better yet, in a bar, yell out who wants some Glory Hole and wait for the "smiles" lol. Call it, negative bag appeal, so to speak.

The point I was making is advertising works. Calling something a name where you would be embarrassed to tell someone the name is STUPID. As is saying hey it is stupid, but they sold out in 4 minutes so its OK. It says a lot about the maturity of the seed company. It shows a lack of...

They are fine and showing no signs of hermie. They go through stages and the calyxes the pistils are attached to grow, open and grow some more before closing back up. It's all fine. Try not to touch the buds the pistils will brown from direct contact with your skin. Relax, keep enviro...

Great post it says almost everything. Truth is that for those of us that love doing this, there is a desire TO DO THINGS and in truth we need bigger grows, lol. It is fun to grow and I think too much staring, thinking and then doing IS the major cause of issues. But in most of life we dont...

A few days ago my sig other smelled the exhaust from my outside vents, with good carbon filters on, at max smell in flower, from about 8 feet away. That's with a filter. Without one it would kill the neighborhood. I love this plan but would assume you do need the carbon filter. Wind blows...

I learned from DR WHO that rock phosphate is a fast form of organic P.

Tweezers man, it's done in less than a second

When you grow them out it will make more sense. Instead of 1 big plant you have 8 mini plants growing together as one almost. I have left the extra branches on and it's fine. It just requires more manipulation. Each set grows in opposite directions so it just gets more complicated if you...

And combine that with having given a PK boost and you can see how the balance is way off and the N fell behind in the leaves getting the most light in the OPs sitch.

Yes! This is an issue. What can you do now? Minimize the problem and finish. Dont try to get back to perfectly green. I would decrease light intensity. A feeding or 2 from about almost exactly that 23rd photo or the feed afterward was too much. Water it out and feed as you did before and...

The first pic is not 5 days before the last one. Look at the bud sizes. You cant go back in time and not do what you did. You also CAN fxxx it up a lot worse! Go to growdiaries.com and look at grows of your plant. There are hundreds of them. Do any of them go 15 or 16 weeks? What do their...

Well now you are asking real questions. Yes, it could be better. Yes, it is yellowing. I understand your ph is too low. Have you ever grown a plant that wasnt perfect? Have you ever grown one that was in really bad shape? Do you think, if your ph is really 5, you can fix it now?

Wow so you ask for opinions, I give it, and you tell me to fuck myself. "...To cut it short, i would like opinions on whether this is a normal amount of yellowing for a plant with 4-5 weeks to go, or whether I should investigate further. " I started autos on THE SAME DAY AS YOU. Your plants...
