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.

 

[aCBD]

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. 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

looking forward to seeing this though, they are looking nice, i myself am a shed grower

 

[bigbadbillybob]

well i errr ;left the wilma pump on wednesday night and it was still on last night, so the 15 minute feed turned into 24 hr one, woops. plants look fine tho, so no worries.
the rest are looking ok, the dwc one is downinig the nutes like a good un. ec went from 1.6 to 1.0 in 3 days..so its been upped.
also discovered that id put 2 drippers in the pineapple express pot, no wonder it was growing so well. ive put one in the blue grape fuel one now, as its lagging a bit.

ill get some pics on sunday.

 

[bigbadbillybob]

evenin. well dwc ones are drinking 5 litres in 2 days so thats good. the rest are shaping up well, they are approx 5 weeks from flip.
pic one the blackberry gum at front and superdawg and ssh at back

thanks mate, yeah they are a fair size but ive over veged them (as usual).
they are on 1.6 ec ph is arouind 6. the ssh could do with less but im not mixing seperate feeds, and wilma dont allow it anyway.
im hopefully going to get myself a small 12 pot flood and drain system shortly, ive never used one before but my mate has been growing flood n drain for years and seems to do well with it. its something different.
that will be for a future grow.
ive only been watering these, spent virtually no time on them, topping etc, which i should have, but im sure ill do ok out of it.
ill be back in a week or so with another update
