ANY problems keeping ph stable with coco? i tried a few runs with it but had ph problems,,i also tried grow rocks,,again same problems,,,for some reason with my nutes rock wool is the only one that keeps ph levels stable..dont know why as grow rocks shouldnt affect ph and coco is neutral also..they all work and yields werent affected but w rock wool it is just easier than adjusting ph every other day..have u used rockwool? do u reuse the coco or toss and buy new each run? i reused the coco and ph was better the second run, but its a bitch cleaning the roots out.. ive never had any luck with soil indoors,,always got algea or stem rot..

well when summer was at peak it was 25-27c in the room where I have the growbox and the growbox inside could reach up to 34-35c.
Now the room is between 21 and 23 and at the peak of the day the growbox inside reached 30.5
Its a 1.2m x 1.2m x 2.05 with 355m3/h extraction and a clip fan.

Hello, hoping to see how others are doing with their LECs....
I am only using the tent with my LEC as a passive intake for my first
tent, that has a filter+fan. I have found that I am getting too hot for the
hot months where I live, but this might work for most of the year.
~ 18" from the canopy, so far.

18 inches above canopy with the 630?? that is very intense light. i run the 315 watt lec fixtures at 2 to 3 feet above canopy. 2 feet works great for bud size and penetration, but at 3 ft above i can cover a larger area, 4ftx4ft coverage.. i have been testing for some time, yields are better with each run, 1.6-1.68 gpw.. ive found that on my 4ftx6ft table 30-36 plants,, i have 3 315watt lec's above..when plants go on table to bloom the first 3 weeks at 12/12 i run 2 fixtures at 3ft above canopy,, that gets all plants branching and filling in,through the stretch..at 3 wks plant canopy is very full and plants are 2ft6inches tall..from week 3 to finish all 3 lamps run at 2 to 2ft6inches above canopy..at the closer distance buds really swell very good..i have the 3 fixtures inline w/ the center of the table, on the left side of the table is a white sheet to reflect light, and the center fixture is 8inches to the right of center line so that the furthest row of plants to the right recieve good lighting.. last run i ran all 3 fixtures at the center line 3ft above canopy, at 3ft coverage is good 4ft wide, at 2 ft above each fixture can only cover a 3ftx3ft area.. either way my gpw is way above my best runs with hps ,mh, or both.. ill keep testing the distance above canopy in hopes of achieving the elusive 2 gram per watt...not there yet but each run gets me a bit closer...

Negative that is a true DE bulb and as such requires a different fixture.

have a 4x6 table, was running 3 315 watt cdl's above average yield = 1.6 gpw, then ran 2 315's over same table and got 1.5 gpw.. just got 2 100 watt go green citizen led cobs, plants are 4 weeks into flower, had 2 315's above for the first 4 weeks, i added the 2 100 watt cobs as soon as i got them.. next run ill run all 4 lights from begining to end.. hope i can hit 1.6 this run.. my 315's are 2.5 feet above canopy, the cobs are 1.5 foot above,, wonder if i should put the cobs at the same height as the cdl's??

I did a 60 day veg on 3 cherry bomb 1 BD from seed under my LEC and pulled 28oz dried . Those cherry bomb are heavy yielders and good taste /decent smoke . I'm not complaining

U r referring to the 2x315w fixture? If so then I don't see why not.
