What size room do you use? I grow in a 1.2m x 1.2m x 2m once you go a 600w you never go back magnetic are reliable but consume abit more than 600w where digital are efficient (I like fanless with a external fan on the outside, built in fan ones always give me trouble) I run 2x600w hps and x2 300w led's for extra side lighting I ruffly pull 1 1/2 lb to 2lb, I found 3 weeks of veg with 11 plants fits perfectly in my area
Do you notice a difference with the added led light? Cause I have one sitting here I haven't tried yet. Now I just have 2 315 cmh lights in my flower room.

Yes and no mine are WISH specials on there own the heads are smaller but tightly spaced with the hps's I get better penetration around the areas Id usually get fluffy heads

Looks like it. I have a similar setup. I'm doing perpetual too. And ya I've done my share of fine tuning as I go and it just keeps getting better.
Yeah I just finished trying to integrate a organic nutrient (canna bio flores) with my house and garden inorganic line less turned out too be more I got there in the end, had afew hiccups with pH seen as my old pH meter stuffed out and had to rely on pH drops for testing, got a blue labs pH meter had to trade a finger to pay for it tho dam they are expensive

I don't ever check or adjust my ph. I let the microbes buffer the ph for me. It's been 9 months in the same soil, and so far so good. I just use Earth Juice and throw in a handful of EWC when I make teas. I did check it a few times in the beginning though.

I wish I had that luxury I used to run full organic soil made for super dense buds, but I managed too cut 2 weeks off my flower time with coco I use 60/40 mix of coco coir and perlite it's ph neutral and 9/10 it maxs out between 5.8 as a low to 6.2ish as a high but throwing anything more than 20mls of bio flores in my res drops my pH something fierce but on the upside I can flush my medium clean in afew minutes with 3 litres of straight water per pot

Nice. Are you doing full organic with the coco coir? And how do you have your reservoir setup? I'm tempted to try it just to see the difference.

I've used few methods first is res to auto pot from a 13mm feed line too 6 6mm t joins one blocked off of course with 11 plants to round single 15l auto pots works great during summer as the evap rate and uptake rate it near impossible too up keep
i just use the res too store my nutrient mix I also have a recirculation pump in tank floating about 10mm off the bottom keeps the nutes from going stagnant atm I've been using a freshly brought 5l garden sprayer they get 500 ml sprayed over the top of the root mass in a fine must I have the sprayer marked at 250ml slots so I can keep a fine eye on things
