What way to go with leds these days

Ok pic time.

Bit of an update. 2 4x4:tents. In tent 1 there is 2 plants in veg. 1 in an 25l autopot and the other in a waterfarm. Both clones from same mum. I would expect them to grow about the same as the autopot does have an airdome. The auto flower shares the same tent. Each plant has its own 100w led plus there is 240w bar in the center.
Tent 2 has 4 qb288 full spectrum plus 240w down the centre as well. 3 different varieties in 15l autopots under .5m sq net. Going to flower tomorrow Sunday.
The outdoor girl has about 4 weeks left.

Ive been very pleased with the Timber line….I use 3 of his in my tent,

The switching to flower lasted a day. I decided the plants weren't in good enough condition to flower. I have burnt, starved and almost killed them but they are now starting to look ok. I made less mistakes with my first grow compared to this. Getting old I guess lol.

There has been no stopping this girl

Spectrum looks a little more yellow/red than I prefer for veg. If it works it works

I guess that's the foto. The qb288 are 3500 based full spectrum and a 2 ND light based on 3000k spectrum. The 3 k gets turned on for flowering. Basically same lights all the way

Day 15;of flower, all going fine apart from humidity which has been a bit high but coming down with the colder weather.

A few notes:
Growing in a tent inside a brick backyard shed. 2 tents inside, 1 currently vegging, the other currently in flower about to start the 3rd week tonight.
Temps are getting cold outside which of course affects the tents as they are not inside a "temperature controlled" environment. I have been getting wet walls in the morning. I have dehumdifiers inside each tent but they don't work well early, as the air is too cold, I suspect. I think what is happening is, when the light turn on, the internal air warms and contains a lot of humidity which gets deposited on the very cold tent walls. I am going to try and heat the room for around 30 mins before lights on. Hopefully, this will warm up the outside of the tent and stop the humidity from depositing on the walls.
The flower tent isn't suffering as much as it lights on 2 hours later than the veggie tent so I suppose the room has warmed a little.
The flowering Autopots are been fed with TA Floraduo plus boosters etc. The waterfarm is on Advanced Nutrients Sensi Bloom plus AN extras. Water is currently rain water which I have been adding 5ml 12% H2O2 in 10 L, a bit much I suspect. I am going to stop the H2O2 next watering as the reservior is sitting around 15degress at end of day and see what happens. I will test this first in the veg tent, as I don't want root rot on my flowering plants.
All for now, happy growing

End of week 2 flower. 4x4 tent.

Woops end of week 3. Noticed powdery mildrew on 2 plants, both from the same mum and same age. 1 was in flower while the other in grow still. Gave them a spray of h2O2 yesterday but it is back today. I have some Baking soda so I might try that today and the flowering plant and throw the veg plant out. Any ideas? You can't see it on the plants above, as the sick girl is out of the picture

Ho I have been away from growing for a few years and I need to catch up fast as I just order a new tent. I've used leds in the past and still have some old stuff from 2013 but it is now 2021 and for sure there are new and better leds around. What do ppl recommend these days for a small 120x120x2000 tent? 4x4

Hlg lights... if you cash flush... @geeklights are working well for me so far if you are on a tighter budget.

I have a 3x3x5 tent and two of those 650w Samsung's were great. Just got a 1000w Samsung type and using it in there now. Pretty easy to get too much light if you don't have the headroom it seems with the newer LEDs.

I have the 5 lights running at 650w in flower. 400 in the veg tent to keep temps up.

Start of week 5.

End of week 6, hydro plant almost done. The cookie kush has about 2 weeks left. Other 2 still have around 3 weeks.

Bit late with the update. I took out the amnesia as it looked done after 7 weeks plus I didn't want to put up with another week of PM. There is a little now on 2 of the other plants but they are both about to be done.
On the 6th was day 1 for tent 1 in flower. There are 5 plants, 2 with nets and 3 without. Same strains as last time minus the PM bitch.
Lemon tree 25l autopot
LSD 15l waterfarm
Cookie kush. 25 l autopot
The other 2 are in 15l autopots.
Have some seeds just popped
Fuel d.og
Do si dos
Carnival
Zensation
They will go to tent 2 in a couple of weeks.
All for now

Whoa, I'm getting slack updatng. New flower round in tent 2 started Feb 4 night 1. This round has 3 ladies, 2 under 60x60 nets, third under a 50x50. All in 15l autopots using AN Sensi nuits. Hoping to get 500gms dry this round.
Have a new light on the way as I also added a 120x60x160 tent. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002707594921.html?spm=a2g0o.9042311.0.0.64d54c4d3v13Lj
Last round from tent 1 yielded 430gms dry from 4 plants.

I put in a hydro plant into tent 2 to start flowering. 14/2. Added a new pole to tent 1 and have 3 qb288s in a line over 2 plants with 60x60cm nets
