Whats the verdict on those leds yieldwise?? Comparable to a 1k??
My buddy has the new LED's like mine and he used to have a 1K HPS and he said its a night and day difference...the LED is better in all areas, but still have to do some weigh ins to ck the final curiosity...Yield...

with the GSC Forum cut as an example....and after growing it for 5 years under HPS ...the first run of the Forum under the Big Eye LED's blew away any of the previous runs with HPS...the pic below is with all LED except the first 2 wks in flower...just a remarkable difference..DJXX

Sup, Everyone. New to this forum and new to growing. Was wondering if anyone in illinois had any spare seeds for a newb trying to get into growing. Have everything set up, all I need is someone to help me plant the single seed.

nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope

Sup. Nobody on here is going to give, sell or trade you any seed, because that would be highly illegal here in the Midwest.

new day, new run. after my starbud sis x biker kush test out I got three tasty phenos, but B is going to rotate out while the frost bomb C and the yielder A stay with my instant karma and otbk moms. I kept clones from some trainwreck I ran but found nothing compareable to the ssbk's so itll be rotated out, as well as krizznapps abusive kush haze, got a super hazey 14 week female but would rather have an ogka pheno so its out as well. new test this run will be mellowfellows orange bully x fire diesel haze. :dance013: :tiphat:

Beautiful plants everyone. Sturgeon I hope you figure whats causing those yellow leaf tips.

What's the heat output on those LEDs? Do you even need cooling or ventilation anymore?

Ya know i haven't checked my ppms in a very long time. I just do my measuring and when it burns back it down. Otherwise every ten days it goes up . I run pureblend pro and hydroplex and sweet. That's it. About 10 to 20 ml per gal of pbp and the additives just go in as i need them. Ph always 5.8 to 6.0

I'm not sure that an EC/PPM test would accurately give you the nutrient levels for PBP anywho, isnt it full of organics and humics?

Yep. Ppm meter will give a ballpark figure but my tap water tests at 400 ppm and the last time i checked ppms i was at 600. But that was mid cycle like 3 crops ago lol

Yeah, an RO filter will pay for itself. I know a colorado grower who says switching to RO water was the biggest improvement he made.

Ive always used tap water though, and plenty of people do as well, and they have all right grows....

My thing with ro is that as soon as i switch i know ill have to start supplementing cal mag and i just cant justify the r.o cost plus the cost of the cal mag. I run 40 gallon reservoirs so i kinda eat nutes up pretty quick with water changes every 10 days on the 40 gals plus the gallons for the dirt plants the cost would add up quick. My tap water eliminates the need for cal mag .
