Whichever way you spin it your using 2000 watts of cfl's, for the same amount of electric you could run 2 1000 watt hps and get a lot more saturation on those ladies.
Like i said mate, your growing in MG which unfortunately have slow release nutes so the more you water the more nutes you are...
Alright Mate, im not getting involved trying to resolve this issue with the nute's (looks a bit like nitrogen deficancy, i would flush out normally but you are using miracle grow and that will escalate the problem due to the slow release nute), but for that ammount of cfls you could run a lot...
Give up on LED's for another 2 or 3 years, the technology is coming on leaps and bounds all the time. It is deffinatley the future. I still use HPS though as the saturation just isnt there yet.
Ye your correct, i'm not talking about the spectrum of the light and the value of Kelvin's, i'm talking about the quality of the fitting and how the LED deteriates with heat. Most company that we compete with at work can fit LED lighting like us at a fraction of the cost but in 2 or 3 years...
I am a survayour for an electrical company and part of my job is to survey factories and industrial unit for changing over from hps to led lighting we make some amazing savings for companys, an average led light conversion from a 400hps to a 125 led light cost around £500 a fitting from us and...
I havent been on here in ages and the first thread i come to reminds me why I stopped. What is the point fucking arguing over the computer?
Undercoveragentorange, dont tell anyone not even your mates and make sure it doesn't stink and you wont go far wrong, failing that do it at someone elses...
Ye man thats how i grow, gets a bit tedious in the last couple of week when there all tangle togther. You know when they have had all their water and nutes when they fall over hahaha.
I made some oil once and had a bit too much, since then i suffer from the odd sesion of paranoia. What i miss more is growing it, since the wife became a child minder it has turned into a big no no.
You will be fine mate, i used to worry about this stuff all the time. A 400watt light is not gonna give you away, its when you vent hot smelly air out of the house it become's a problem.
Right i have 4 white widow, i have had problems all the way through the grow.
The thing is all four plants have turned pistels brown (how has this happend) at 4-5 weeks, sounds pretty good but the problem is that the buds havn't packed out.
Dont know what to do?
Not checked the trich's yet.
