Good info, I assumed SS#4 had foods init what makes it so expensive and usable.

Answered my own question: Here is what they say, Sunshine #4 - contains Canadian Sphagnum peat moss, perlite, major and minor nutrients, gypsum, Dolomitic limestone and a long lasting wetting agent. Guess I should have used the advanced, it provides for a supplemental charge , etc...

Thanks guys, I will certainly heed the warning. I moved my light up a couple more inches to 36". I can't go any higher than that, without having to rig a new hanging harness.

that should be fine, just let the plants grow into them

i havent tried the advanced one but know someone who did and said he likes the one we have better. he said since their is coco cal/mag def shows up easy if u dont feed enough.
 
heres day 1 of flower.. she is starting to green up more after the dark period making the leaves turn yellow. i just gave them a good Seaweed foliage spray. i couldn't get more detail pics because my camera batteries died. but heres some pics i was able to get before that.

ya bro it looks like i will have a few cooler nights. last night was cold! i am not use to this.. the days are still hot but nights not so bad. in the 80's right now.

i have the V3's been in for about a weak?
 
lookin good irish ,i changed to dyna grow bloom cuz im tired of mixing teas and still having problems anyway i ph the bloom and water mixture and it was 6.6 before it went in,and coming out (runoff) was 6.0 what does that say to you?

i wouldnt worry about that too much. why not just feed both Dyna gro as a base nute and once a week or so give them a tea? thats what i do

ya their different in color and the glass is out and they use less power then the V2's, their for i should be able to keep them closer
 
hmm they use less power than the v2's? the v2's were the ones you had to keep like 30+ inches away right? Is that the one where you can request 2 dif power supplys? Im curious because as i previously stated id like to try it both ways if its just a power supply swap.

on the v2's u dont "have" keep 30"s just start out around their and see how they do? the V2's are the ones that were too strong for some and you could get a PS swap.. the new lights already have the swap and no glass and a different spectrum same as the 2010's spectrum but with white added. you might be able to talk to Mike and see if you can get the PS that boost up the leds also on the new V3's?
 
Now that would be business thanks irish, when i get some money put away im definately gonna give him a call and see what he can do for me, seems to me keepin it higher might help my footprint a bit on my larger cab thats y im interested in that other pSU for it. Either way im pretty sure this will be my next panel unless i decide to just get dumb and run UV bulbs with kessils, thats my only other option im considering. Nothing else i've seen has yielded like your other grow or the kessils when i was rockin 3 of em. But like i said i wont sacrafice quality and i dont want to start playin with UV bulbs just yet. Rather have an all in one unit

the higher they are the better mixing you get..

UV is not the answer to frost the plants. if used the wrong NM of UV u can hurt ur plants very bad. i know spectra dose not use UV and i doubt BS dose. you really need to know what ur getting when getting UV if out of range it will not be good bro.
 
I have a very good idea of what to do with UV man been researching a long time, im just not going to step into that arena right now, and yea the BS has a UV led in it ONE, I called and asked why my one of my LED's was out on my BS that is the UV led, Its going to look like a burnt bulb on your panel but its not if its BS panel. They get calls on that all the time. I know if i use the wrong NM of uv it can hurt my plants i also know that some plants just dont like UV at all, those tend to be indoor only plants, you know the ones you throw outside and they shit on you for no reason. I also know there are plants that suck up UV like its water, take AK47 for example that plant fuckin LOVES UV light. Do your eyesight turn green after lookin at your panels? If it does they are emitting UV rays, no matter what the manufacturer says regarding that. UV makes your vision turn green tinted if you get too much of it.

I also beg to differ about UV being a way to frost plants, like i said some plants LOVE uv light others say fuck you at teh slightest sign
 
the mixing of spectrum was also another reason as well thanks for adding that

UV has to be in the right NM if not they its not good. UV or IR will look like a burnt out leds but thats just to ou eyes the plants get the color though. i am not sold on the UV but thats just me, i remember all the grows and test way back in the day on it.. some of the higher NM might help but its not needed.

ya its not like the sun dose not put UV out.lol.
