Looking good Locrian

[Locrian99]

Well they like the cfl setup. Going to have to do some transplanting I think Wednesday for 3 of them at least.

Yeah you gotta stay ahead of the game or you end up paying full retail. I'll save at least 50% off of my electric bill too buy retiring my HPS.

[Locrian99]

I noticed some weird markings on pretty much all the leaves including new growth so I decided to turn the led off and go with cfl’s for now. Just to be safe and not totally stunt them.

Starramus you do what I do when I see a good deal and I will use it eventually then I buy extra stuff on sale lol

[Locrian99]

I’m trying to picture this (forgive me I’ve been in the grow room taking bong hits since I got home from work. So is the entire hood of Light in the tote?

Get a 33 gallon plastic tote line with foil , put clamp lights on top cut holes for lights I use 2 lights put vent holes on each end,I have 2inchholes on each end. Put a small pan of water in for moisture 23watt cfls I think you will be happy,if heat gets to much open cover

Hey 99, leds are great, but it takes a little while to find the sweet spot, when you do they sure grow beautiful plants, beautiful colored green plants, . Your gonna do a great job 99.

[Locrian99]

Yea and I wish I would’ve next time I will for sure seems like it’d be far easier and probably more effective st that young of age. I debated going and buying a couple clamp lights and going that route after they stretched but figured it’s good experience to try and find the sweet spot.

[D.A.A.S.69]

Morning 99, yeah bury the stems when you transplant, alot of people use cfls when their plants are young, for a week or two at first.

I picked up (2) of the 600 watt Viparspectras in the last Amazon sale. They are sitting unboxed in the garage. I had better check them out in the barn before the return period ends. Thanks for reminding me. Busy, busy, busy!

[Locrian99]

I’m using the Viparspectra PAR 450. You can dim the spectrums. Right there it’s 30% red, 80 white, 80 blue at 26”. They seem to be liking it more stopped that stretching I don’t know if you can see it in the pics but I had to use a toothpick and a twist tie to keep the 3 bigger ones upright. When they move to the 2 gal pots I’ll be burying those stems a bit I think. Actually it might be 30 inches, Anyways it seems to be working better it’s the settings the mfr says for seedlings.

Locrian the light in these pictures looks blue do you have a specific VEG light that has more blue light love the pictures to

[Locrian99]

So I think I e got this LED dialed in now after giving the Aurora Indicas a bit of either Light burn or heat stress or a mix of the two. Got home from work Friday AM and it was 86 in there ugh. They got some water today soil ph’d at 6.3 my crappy well water and the coco got 1/4 strength fox farms week 1 nutes and the full dose of cal mag ph’d at 5.9 with the well water (it is high in silica though!). Oh and I have a runt, the soil Wonder Woman last to pop and she’s falling a bit behind.

[oldjarhead100]

it is that but knowing what is in your meds is worth it, and yes I'm in NE I haven't been outside today its 5:15 am I am pretty sure we got about 10 inches and the wind is howling out there now . My house was built around 1820 so there is no such thing as draft proof here. lol its tomorrow that has me concerned a high of -2 yikes
