The light growth is probably the high pH, its zinc lockout that causes that pale new growth. Once ya get the ph in range it'll be grand thoIn the beginning I tested my ph and was 7 so was happy enough to use just tap water but after a bad lookin plant after watering I tested ph and was 8.2 from the jug u had used so sitting out for a day or 2 under lights in a grow tent changes ph drastically, potentially. Light green is new foliage but think it’s a lil light so I think I’m watering improperly still a bit
She's a beaut man! I'd wait for trichs to change, IMO the days advertised compared to the actual time it takes can vary wildly depending on environment and phenotype.
I need to get a better eye loupe. I bought a shitty ebay one and it's hard to make out what state the trichomes are in. I can't see much change in her over the past 1-2 weeks so I might chop her this weekend. The sweet smell from her is making me impatient lolShe's a beaut man!

I'm using DIY led cobs I put together a few years back. I have 4 in total but due to height restrictions the lighs are only 4-6" from the canopy and the plants dont really receive much spread from the other adjacent lights, just the one directly above each plant. For 50w each they can put out some nice buds.What light you using?
Have ya a pic for the light pleaseI'm using DIY led cobs I put together a few years back.

I'm looking to try a quantum board soon as they are supposed to be even better
What your budget and how many wants u want ? Good sirI'm using DIY led cobs I put together a few years back.

Thanks fishbulb but I have one on order already.What your budget and how many wants u want ? Good sir
Are you getting rid of these lights as soon as your new one has arrived??
I usually have the white reflectors off but I couldn't get the camera to focus without them on. I know some people make frames and a nice tidy job of theirs but I just used what I had lying around the shed. I have space issues so they need to be moved regularly. They've been in use for a while now and no issues but I took a break for 2 or 3 years. They're Cree CXB3590 chips if I recall correctly. You can only see 2 in the pic but there's 4 in total attached to one driver.
No I'm keeping them. I also have a pair of Mars Hydro 400 lights for seedlings but some of the leds are failing and they aren't very efficient so I'll be getting rid of those insteadAre you getting rid of these lights as soon as your new one has arrived??
Auto pots are awesome I have a 220litre Res and can go away on holiday for 2 weeks and they will be happy out when I come home. I've been using them for 7 years now. Tried blumats but couldn't get them to work and flooded my tent a number of times. Not ideal in a two story rentalThanks fishbulb but I have one on order already.
I was flicking back through this thread and noticed you use autopots. Would these be a good idea for a perpetual grow? I don't mind hand watering now but it may be a different story when we're allowed go away for a weekend once all this covid crap is easing off.
Don't throw away u can swap cobs in for cheap cheapNo I'm keeping them. I also have a pair of Mars Hydro 400 lights for seedlings but some of the leds are failing and they aren't very efficient so I'll be getting rid of those instead
I'm lacking in headroom so I'm not sure if I can sacrafice any more by adding autopots. This is also the reason I do a perpetual grow, I keep smaller plants to the back and move them into the higher area in flower.Auto pots are awesome I have a 220litre Res and can go away on holiday for 2 weeks and they will be happy out when I come home.

That's handy to know, the Mars 400 wasn't their best light so no harm to put it to better use. Are there plans online for this?Don't throw away u can swap cobs in for cheap cheap
I have plants to turn a. Mars 1200 to a cob light with new drivers upgrade veg and put dimmers on them
