OK must be a script I'm not running.

Edit: Weird I can see the previous ones but not these. Cloudflare BS probably.

Thank You Guod :).

Very interested in this thread now since I'm on the verge of getting 6 Vero 18s. Was going with the Luminus 18 but had some problems and I think I'm better off with the Vero 18s now especially since I want to use some kind of secondary optics which there are little for the CXM-18 atm. Great show btw SomeGuy.

yeah i love this thread but the load time is too long. we have the
fastest 'net available locally and it still takes quite a while to load.

Well... For the bandwidth challenged I have re-sized. :-)

This is at about 2.5 week I guess. This is looking like one of my better grows and this is my first shot out with these lights. I am excited to continue this journey. I have plans to do a 4x4 tent with these same lights next round. fingers crossed.

Not really. As a matter of fact the deep psychosis and pre 98 bubba were usaually not heavy feeders. now they are going light first. odd. all of them are off the hook vigorous in the tent. but not really feeding that much more or less on the whole.

I should say frequency is the same because I am using cal mag supplement and a bit more p and k this time and its doing well. This is accounting for deficiencies not occurring with hps.


I needed to put more time into the cabinet hps grow veg wise but I needed to get some medicine flowered.

with led they need to be watered less but certain minerals they uptake a lot more than others. That's probably due to processing more light than hps plants do.

yea... your right. I could pour water through daily if I wanted. But.. why. every third day is plenty. Feed every time unless overly green then just water. too easy in perlite as there is a high air to water mix. When temps go up and humidity goes to like 25% I do have to sometime water every other day with 5gl.

How often you water really depends on container size IMO. once plants roots fill up a 2liter you could be watering every day... my 3gl and up whether indoor or out will last every other day.
