    Hi guys, my second report on my 315 LEC all in one from sun systems is as follows; it does run cooler than my 600 watt,hps in fact I had to turn down my 440 exaust to 50% to keep humidity in 👍 I’m running a humidifier 24/7 as well.
    I must admit I like the light,....still to soon for a honest evaluation, but the girls seem to like it too 😁 time will tell. Chow

    Greetings fellow travelers, today was transplant day around the Potted household, yesterday I prewatered my 6, 3 gal. Fabric pots with 6.5 PHed water and today things couldn’t have gone smoooother 👍 ,i won’t be watering any time soon tho. I also turned on my LEC 315 for the first time it’s seeing action. growing autos primarily this run, I’m gonna run the light 24/7 at least for the first 2 months. I may start a photo or two at that mark and turn on the timers, not sure tho the wife’s takeing me on a fun filled Disney cruse with my kids there spouses and my grandkids and my wife,did I mention my soon to b x wife! and a zillion outher kids plus that fusken mouse for 7 fun filled days ( and I’m paying...... and praying I have enough medicine to weather the cruse). I took a few pictures bouth before transplant and afterward if I can jumpstart my iPad to show u I will😁. If all goes well I’ll top them at the fourth node tomorrow if I can get in between those tight nodes 😎.

    I talked my iPad into showing u guys a few picks of my seedlings in there box today, these are about a week old, T8 blue tubes 2’ long. I made the box out of a rolling garment hanger, with a small fan on low facing away from seedlings at the moment .the trays are a find as well as the lights all I did was change out the tubes (cheep)
    very cheep two adjustable hangers and lights on 24/7 the base is 3/4’ ply and rolls well

    The seedlings are ten days old doing well, and about to take off🤞. Still using the heating mat to keep up the temp as well as the floresents.
    i also understand it’s to early to put them under my new LEC 315 light from sun systems? I read somewhere to wait 2 weeks before putting them under the light does
    that sound about right? I’m hopeing for som advice here since the light is new to me?

    ​ The consment Small grower here....with a update on the 6 girls that came up last weekend, as I said I gave cal-mag to them an have been alternating with plan PHed water ever since,using a Dixie cup as a measuring device I’ve been watering a 1/2 a Dixie cup a day and letting them dry out completely in between.
    Im going to start adding additional supplements to my plan water, sliaca and molasses come to mind.
    I raised the floresents up a inch to accommodate new growth, 👍 and I like it like that ,yeah 💣🎼🎺🎷🎸reminds me of a song,?
    Ive made my decision and I’ll b using 3 gal. Fabric Pots for this grow on I” risers on long white plastic food grade trays u see under the stuff in the deli case.The girls seem to be content and are sinking there roots in, so not much growth on top at the moment but more to come I’m sure. Catch u on the flip

    Hay gang, over the weekend all six popped there heads above ground 🎉🍾🌱and seem to b doing fine, I removed the humidity domes tonight & sprayed them with PHed water and lowered the T8 floresents to 2” above them. I’m still using the seedling mat. The temps here require it this time of year. I’m sorry I haven’t posted pictures yet, my iPad and I are arguing about that and I gave up for tonight, I’ll give it a try again tomorrow 😎 I don’t sweat the Small s..t . I think I’m going to feed with cal-mag in the A.M. all my other auto grows luved it hopeing for the same reaction from these 🤞
    I’m thinking about 3 gal. Fabric pot or air pots? Not sure yet. I better get my act together and get my pots in a row before the girls get root bound in those little jiffy pots 🙃 well it looks like I’ll b amending som ffof,with som peat,and som core,and som more perlite 2lbs. Mix it all up in a clean garbage can, and fill the six pots for transplant when appropriate. Can’t wait to see how the new strains I’m growing (new to me) come along. Some of the others I’ve grown before and enjoyed and are back for a repeat performance the N/L and the green Crack are back but the rest are a adventure waiting to happen 👍 chow for now

    Today I put all six in the dirt under t8 floresents 2” away after a 24 hour soak, with a seedling heating pad under them and the temp is about 78 Fahrenheit at the top of the pots it shouldn’t take to long for them to pop. I’m using shot glasses as humidity domes and spraying ph’ed water on them twice a day 👍

    I got a late Xmas present in yesterday’s mail,a brand new sun system LEC 315 it came well package from amazon with a 2 yeay warranty. I had to try it out right away
    First off let me state that I’m one cheep SOB that’s what dru my attention to this light, not the up front cost although it hurt a bit, but the saving on my electric bill each month and also the life of the bulb. First report, the same heat as my 600 watt MH/MHS hood but the light is much more intense + brighter,WOW and at 315 watts the bill will b cut in half,.....happy hippie here..... hopefully the yield will get better too 🤞catch u on the flip.
    More reports on bouth the light and grow to follow ....as grow progresses

    I’ve stored these and other seeds for quite a while with very few problems I place seeds in a Small aspirin container opaque with a silica pack and place in the fridg. The seeds I’m soaking now I’ve stored for over a year. I have sum I’ve been saving for over 5 😁 quite a back log. I think I’m addicted....... to growing I mean 🌱

    So eventually I guess you’ll have like your tops strains that work best for you and your setup and just grow those? If so that’s pretty cool. I like it. Lol imma see how these sweet tooth produce. But so far they’re pretty superb. 👌
