its all a bit of a trial for these LEDs to be honest.
ive done one grow with them already but vegged under hps. im a confirmed hps grower,.........or at least i was.....
ive some lovely gavita DE fixtures hardly used. i guess they will keep. i should maybe have used them this time because the temps are lower than i would like, even with the aded HP|S.
i actually had 2 of the predeccesors to these lights but foolishly sold them to a mate. ech well these are supposedly better output so ill see how they go. im in a shed and the temps are grim, i have to heat it 12 hours of lights off just to keep the temps at 24 degrees.
ill persevere, im sure they will do well in the summer.

i will trim the underskirts of these next week to help circulation, the wilma ones are ion top of each other, i tend to veg too long....its a constant learning curve isnt it....

i did notice last time under led thaty the buds were smaller in size but weighed more, they were definitelt denser. time will tell, thanks for visiting.

You're absolutely right, it is a constant learning curve.
That's a good thing tho, otherwise it would become a boring routine. 😁

You can use the colder temperatures to your advantage and combine both lights. :whee: Best of both worlds.

As you’re in coco wrap the pots with bubble wrap, an extra layer of hydroton on top and you should be fine, just keep the air circulating

I’ve had some stunning buds when intake air temperature was -12*C
