    Any HLG Scorpion R-Spec grows and harvests?

    On my first run with one, first run with LED from CMH. I had to add a heater so that pretty much ruined any cost savings. The light is a friggin beast though. I find they looked happier under cmh but I understand I have to learn the proper LED environment. Once I cranked my temps the growth was...

    Leaves Rolling up

    Well I’d avoid temp swings and high humidity. PM becomes a bigger concern now as well

    Leaves Rolling up

    I’m running 84-86f @ 60%. you lost your IR light so you need higher room temps to get your leaf surface temp right.

    Trying to find a Led light that puts off UV

    I’ve read that UV diodes and IR diodes have a much shorter lifespan than the whites which makes having stand alone supplemental lighting bars more efficient. I’ve only run stand alone.

    really slow seedling?

    630 is way too much light. Even a 315 is pushing it at that stage unless you are really far away. You don’t have the root structure to feed yet. Just like when you put clones under strong light, they go yellow. Plants that size do so well under cheap fluorescent light. Leave them alone, no need...

    There comming down any idea on final yield ??

    Well at least OP waitEd till they were ready to ask the question. When I see that question asked when still in veg then yeah, I get the smart ass answers. Some people just forget how exciting those first few run are/were. The right answer is, hopefully less than your next run! Enjoy the...

    Yield?

    The fact that someone asks this question means they know SFA. That means no one could possibly guess how bad you will fuck it up or if you are a passionate student, how well you will do.

    315 cmh vs led

    I changed my 315’s at 1 yr or so, that’s when I felt I started losing density as well. So at 300$ in bulbs per 12-14months it made the higher priced LEDs nut seem so crazy. I’m on my first run right now with a HLG scorpion and am blown away. I mean there is zero shade in there.

    Led

    Hooking up a buddy in need with a cheap quarter once in a while adds up and helps the grow fund. For me, very few people know so I just tell them I’m picking up from the guy who everyone loves his stuff and great prices and everyone is happy. To each their own. Family is always free.

    Led

    I’d go 315cmh to start, make some money off it and upgrade to whatever you like after that . The 315 in the 4x4 becomes a kickass veg tent down the road. I’d say go 400 or 600 Hps but you cant really dual purpose those as well as cmh. IMHO.

    why my plants are so lanky please

    315cmh is a great light for that size. I run one in a little 4x4 but don’t fill it wall to wall. Makes for a great veg room too once you expand.

    Why is defoliation so controversial?

    What are folks using for coco coir?

    I recently tried the house brand from the hydro store here, Mo’koko. I actually really like it. Well buffered, doesn’t come hot at all. Can put a seed Or fresh cutting right into it. I haven’t used canna since I tried mokoko.

    Why is defoliation so controversial?

    I’m not sold on either way to be honest. Last mono run I did I mixed it up and the difference was negligible. Was a great crop too. Many ways to skin this cat brother. As long as ourselves and the people we care for enjoy it, we win.

    Why is defoliation so controversial?

    Like I said, that statement was based on observations and not science. Obviously as time went on I became a better grower and got better lights. So perhaps it’s like the ice cream vs murder conundrum lol. Bottom line is there are professional growers a lot better than myself that do some very...

    Any body seen this? Pistils growing from fan leaf.

    Had this once and it was a branch shoot that got wrapped by the leaf stalk. Looked just like that.

    Why is defoliation so controversial?

    I think that if you have good light you will see the benefits from defoliation. If a plant is struggling to capture enough light then you will hamstring it by removing the fans. No scientific proof or anything but it certainly seems this way for me.
