Been growing 10+ yrs. I used a 600w hps. In a 4x4x8' box. Last few grows had light airy buds. Figured my 8 yr old hps was getting weak,,,lol Had the extra cash and decided to go LED, my space is bigger now too.3x6x8'. I bought two of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J2VMHJY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and this one too https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01795XMEY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
My first grow using these lights, buds were light and airy. huge buds, but light. I read somewhere where you can have too much light?? Thinking about making room 4x8 and throwing my 600w hps right in the middle. I currently have 6 plant's on about 6 weeks of flower. I was using both lights on each light. They have switches for veg and bloom. but for the last few weeks I use only bloom on smaller ones and both on center light. Somehow thinking using veg through flower on all three had something to do with light buds. I do different things each grow, last grow I used ffof and it feeds the plant for about 3 weeks, then I added more soil on top and figure that would feed it for a cple more weeks of veg. Then transplant into 7 gal grow bags. Wait about a week or so and switch to flower, with new transplant soil it feeds itself for another few weeks, I leave it recessed enough to add more soil for feeding thoughout flower. As I sit here and type this out, I think not giving nutes was my problem., I used this method on auto's and it worked great. Anyways, this grow of rasberry kush. I let it feed on soil for 2 weeks of veg, then started with fox farm big grow, big bloom, half strength. Plus I use ph adjusted koi pond water. Tons of nitrogen in it, got to be careful with the nutes.. In between a couple of the feeding, I use distilled to make sure ph is good and a break from feeding, I only feed every other watering, but even plain pond water has nutes in it. I also drop the big grow during flower and use tiger bloom and cal mag throughout flower. Flush about 10 days before harvest, when tric's are about 50% cloudy.
Anyone have any advise? more light? more nutes? less?
