Running LEDs causes the plants to use more magnesium and sometimes more calcium. Jus get you a small bottle of calimagic its by general hydroponics. You can get off of Amazon prime for under 20 bucks for a quart. Or monstergardens for like 13 bucks. Some places cheaper if you look. But a quart is 946ml. And you only need between 3-5ml per gallon usually. Some strains use more. But any kind of cal/mag will work.
Dont worry what people say. Everyone starts somewhere. Most people don't start out growing topshelf nugs. I guess some do. But the more you read and learn. The more knowledge you gain to use on your next grow. Take notes of this grow of any mistakes you make or whatnot. Then you know next run not to do that. Being in an unfriendly state be very careful with smell. If you have a few extra bucks get you some kind of carbon filter or atleast some Ona scent control. Anything to help with the scent. Being in a building the smell will travel through different rooms. So be careful. No grow is worth jail time. Idc how good or how big it is. If you even get a hint of other people knowing in your building. Tear down and get rid of it. And wait a little until you are legal or can grow better with scent control. Good luck on your grow. I hope it turns out decent.
Im in a duplex the plant dpesnt seem to put off much smell to me its i.n the basement. Im not sure if im just used to it or what but we also smoke inside my wife is always got candles and airfresheners going to. I had to tear down my last grow wich sucked because my plant was beautiful i toped it and it had so many bud sites. I used cfls before so i can deff say this light even though not the best is definitely an upgrade from cfls.
Oh i never said i didnt agree with him on the lighting i know its not the best but i couldnt afford to buy the best when i got this light i have now. Im deff going to upgrade im just waiting till i have spare cash this setup im using now im going to use for vegging and im going to make a much bigger grow cabinet. I just wanted to have some fun and grow a little bit for fun right now. Do you have a link i can get for it?
Thanks man, here are a few pics from today 6 weeks in. Also the clone i took is doing pretty good.
What lights are you using got a grow journal or thread i can check out?
they are dismantled screw in led lightbulbs mounted to old cake pans then riveted and a 120mm pc fan for cooling cost about $25 in material if i didnt have the cake pans prolly $35 each for 150 true watts. Im sure quantum boards or a 1000 hps would outperform them but im pulling 7 to 9 oz sticky and covered in trichs each run so im fine with my 4 $25 lights lol
Thoes are pretty cool! Did you come up with the idea for them i really like it, im more of a diy type of person. Id actually be interested in making myself one or two are there any tutorials on these or could you tell me how and give me a list of materials? How much are you getting per plant?
I think its a really cool idea, they look like flying saucers haha. Please do take more pics for me im very interested.what watt led bulbs are they? Any info would be appreciated!
