yes sir. you can find them at any hydro store. depending on ur temps. i use a 1:1 ratio . 1 part soil and 1 part perlite. i like to feed every 3 days. that way i can still get my plants allot of nutes for the week but not in such strong doses that they get nute burn. so say if the bottle says 1tsp per gal once a week, ill do 1/2tsp or 3/4tsp per gal. every 3 days. just makes it allot easier for the plant in my opinion. the perlite will let you roots het allot of air instead of just siting in watter all the time witch can cause big problems. plus it controls the salt build up in the soil from the nutes

Well I ended up going with just a 400 watt, I'm just gonna grow in our storage room and running an oscillating fan just to keep it real simple. Thanks for the advice man, I'm gonna pull up my chair and my bowl and enjoy the grow! Also I was wondering if you had put thought into doing like a growvid series? just an idea, but you seem like someone who could pass along alotta great info onto people. idk just something to throw out there
peace

i woke up today, and checked on the girls and things are really starting to kick off now. their starting to fill in real nice. i dont really notice any stretching even thought the light is 25-26" above the top of my plants. i only have one that getting kinda tall the others are staying short and bushy. ill post some more pics on sat when they turn a week old. hopefully next week i can start LSTing them.

Hey irishboy,
I have read through your 126W vs 180W journal and it really inspired me to go for the LED approach. I got myself a 180W from prosource and also have a 120W from ecoledlights-uk. My 180W arrived today, i've had a few clones in DWC under the 120W and tonight i put a screen in place to scrog them. I have attached a before and after of the clones in the DWC Scrog. They are (4) Burmese Kush and there's (1) one Mako Haze, all in the same DWC unit. I'm definitely subscribing to this new 600W grow of yours and i wish u all the best with it.

your grow looks sweet, i am going to keep an eye out for that one. SCROG is a very good way to grow with leds. my next grow will probley be SCROG.

Nice grow Irish. I read your ProSource 180 vs 126w also and am looking at a 180 currently. Can't wait to see how this 600 does. Subscribed.

I like your setup and was thinking of doing the same but in a different manner, I am working out of a fridge which is turning into more of a tanning booth for my plants so with my next round I will have a couple LED panels in there
One on top and one or two on the sides, we will see how they like that

so far they dont come close to a 1000w hps. i haven't seen leds beat hps yet using less watts like claimed.

I think adding them to your light would add more crystals if anything?
I will use them as an addition to any garden for that reason
I would like to see a test on that and see those plants under just a HPS vs LED + HPS
