    Failing growing with leds strips.

    Here some pics. It looks like nute issues but if I put them under the hps they start to improve. I've tried these plants in hempy and now soil with basically the same results. My ppm is about 600M with dyna gro foliage pro with a tap starting at 200ppm.

    Failing growing with leds strips.

    I've recently put together a diy led light using 9x "BXEB-L0560Z-35E2000-C-B3" strips mounted onto a aluminum frame I made and driven by a hlg-185h-c1050a. The lights footprint is 18 inches deep and 24 inch wide. It turned out great, It's bright as fuck and I know that doesn't mean anything to...

    Led grow light distances from plant.

    It's not leaning..I had to tie it down a little. As for the RO I here you and may try that but I mean I've been using city tap for years now with awesome success; in fact coming out of the tap at 200 ppm is dam lucky from what I hear others talking about.

    Led grow light distances from plant.

    Seems like chrome doesn't work for me uploading files....used ff. Anyways, here are some pics. I'm just so embarrassed as all my other grows these would be at least 10 times this size and bushy and green. As I mentioned I even bought new nutes as I thought my dynogrow foliage pro went bad or my...

    Led grow light distances from plant.

    I'm embarrassed to say, they are about 6 weeks old and I'm just stumped. I've never had these issue like this before...I mean I've had heat stress before with hps but other than that nothing this prolonged. And, as I mentioned everything is the same as the last several runs I did except the light.

    Led grow light distances from plant.

    Ok that helps, my custom build using EB series strips is about like your quantum board so that gives me some perspective. I've tried running it at 98 Watt and about 6/8 inches off the tops to 150/180 Watt about 8/12 inches off the tops. I've raised the light to about 14 inches off the tops...

    Led grow light distances from plant.

    Right, that's what somebody else said...they stated the leds didn't put off the IR like the hps did. This is another reason that I ran the lights close or turned up. I've had it around 82F to 90F according to the temp/humidity gage sitting by the plants.

    Led grow light distances from plant.

    Good day friends. I'll start off saying I have a few grows under my belt and have done very decent in the past but I was using hps for both veg and flowering. I decided I wanted to go LED for many reasons. I built me a led strip light using 9x BXEB-L0560Z-35E2000-C-B3 running on a meanwell...

    3500 color temp?

    I agree brother...I think it's a fluke and it has more to do with my medium being too saturated. I think I put too much vermiculite in the mix.

    3500 color temp?

    Yea, my thoughts to I don't think it would be much different which is why I got the 3500K ones. I think the HPS put out more IR like the guy above was saying. It might be the little hempy pots I have them in as I noticed under the hps the perlite / vermiculite dried out faster so I might have...

    3500 color temp?

    I just got a bridelux strip led light built using the 3500k color temp and was wondering if anybody here is using that temp with success? I'm not sure what it might be but some seedlings have been under the light for about a week and still look weak so I brought out my old trusty 150 hps and...

    Led lighting for a 36W x 18D space cabinet?

    How did you attach them to the pan, did you use screws? Did you use any thermal past?

    I'm not talking about autos, I'm talking about flowering from clone for regular strains not autos.

    stealth cabs.

    Also, and here me out on this one.... I'm strain hunting for strains that work for me, I have chronic pain and cannabis helps so much with the nerve, muscle and joint pain but at the same time a lot of the strains invoke anxiety and or fear...irrational thought. I've been experimenting with CBD...

    stealth cabs.

    I agree, 48W and putting the filter, fan and pump in the side is the way to go so you're not shooting self in the foot with a nice cab but not enough grow height to use it. Did a 12" wide tank look odd on a 20"D stand up close in your opinion? Most tank and stands I see in person don't have a...
