So I’ve got 11 (4 blue dream, rest white widow) plants in a 5x5 currently on day 41 of flower. I had a post about them in veg cuz they were dying. Turned out I didn’t rinse coco enough and I fixed them and they smoothly sailed until now. I mean they seem fine and nothing seems to be horribly wrong other than the blue dream getting too tall and I can’t move light up anymore or really lst them anymore at this point so they are a little light burned I think. And now the light is way too high for the white widows. But this was my second grow and I was stupid and didn’t take that into account. Anyways I just wanted some opinions on if the buds seem under developed or anything seems amiss that requires my attention. 450w LED, 5 gal pots, coco, water 3x a day Humboldt secrets roughly 1800 EC PH 5.9
80F 45%Rh plenty of circulation. I’m aware BD and WW require different levels of nutes but I have too many plants and tents and shit going on to be able to feed them seperately. Thank you!

I hope so. For some reason I can’t recall my first grow perfectly but I believe the buds were better despite my set up being trash but maybe I’m misremembering. Thanks for the response tho man

You need alot more light imo.

They seem light burned to me, the blue dream anyways. But yeah maybe you right. I figured one LED board was enough for a 5x5. You have any idea what’s stronger for flower between a 450w LED and the 1000w HPS I used on my first run?

Two 450 leds turned down

What’s the point of that? Better coverage?

And mid range on watts used

What does that mean and how is it significant or better?

Hmmm
It means cheaper than your previous grow with more light
Not sure why you are confused?

when you run leds softer (dimmed) they run more efficiently (more light per watt) and they last longer. so using 2 fixtures but dimmed at totaling of 600-700w would increase coverage, give you more light per watt and the leds will last longer.

Ohhh ok I did not know this. Thank you so much for the information man. Idk if I can fit them both in a measly 5x5 tent or if it will hold the weight but i will see. That’s shit everyone should know but I’ve never heard, thank you man.
