Led grow - less chemicals?

Just post it in the forum the same way you did this question. If you’re trying to grow on a budget, CFLs are an option. They work and you can get a fine harvest. Check it out:

This is my TS3000 in my 4x4 (1.2x1.2) the day I got it and plugged it in. Only had it for a week so I don't know how I will like it but I can already say my temperature dropped drastically, it's super bright at 100%, and it's damn near the same size as the tent so I know I'm getting good coverage. Got some seedlings in there right now to do a full grow under it to compare to my 315 CMH lights. If you wanted to lower your electric even more, you could do 4 of the Spider Farmer SF2000 and that would only run you 800W total. That option is a bit more expensive though, but it's another option.

Edit: I know Mars Hydro delivers to the UK, and I believe Spider Farmer does as well.

Yeah that looks awesome. I’ve already been browsing, I can get hold of these from the uk anyway so all’s good. I will have a look into the other solution tomorrow. I appreciate the help, cheers

Hi guys, I’m a first time grower being supplied by a friend who grows using lamps. I have opted to LED’s instead but I’m not confident in his advice as he’s used to using the lamps which produce more heat.
We have mixed a and b with coco big bud and he goes off the reading on the wand between 1.6-1.8
would this be too much for my small grow tent.
I also think he was being a bit cheap only buying the 1000w LED’s so I have just ordered some 8000w full specrum. Would these have a better impact?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Is that your target ec or is that what you end up with. I had major potassium issues in mid to late bloom and started mixing in 2 gallons of distilled water with 2 gallons of tap because my tap water is .30 ec. My target ec is around 1.28 - 1.32 and you can see if the tap water is .30 to begin with can become complicated.
