    Then why do plastic buckets work, same thing? And, why do people have luck with those solo cup contests? What's so different about a solo cup? Thanks for your input!

    Guys, I just transplanted them a few days ago into fresh soil and they were not root bound at all ...in fact I was disappointed that the cup was only about 1/4 full of roots. I don't mind transplanting them again...I'm going to give them some time to recover. This morning they are looking much...

    Hmm..wonder why leds require more...I'll look into that. I thought, I'd have to check...but the last time I looked at my city water report it showed it had a high cal rating and I thought the mag was up there to. I figured the 200ppm was mostly cal and mag so I never really bothered with it...

    A lot do and they don't know it because it grows on the backside of drywall and releases mycotoxins which might not have any effect on one person but really make another person really sick. I have a chronic pain autoimmune illness so I have to be careful.

    It's kinda a cab...just a wire rack wrapped with some panda film...very cheesy but all I had until I can build a small cab. I want to get a 36w x 24D x 52H cab soon. The room is a 12x12 and it's about 64 with no lights and the leds seem to get it to about 68/69F. The getto cab is about 73-75F...

    It's not rootbound...but yes to the rest. The room is generally in the 68 to 70F with the leds on and the cab they are in is about 73 to 75 which I thought would be enough. It's enough with just a simple 150 hps hovering over them about 10-12 inches with that IR and radiant heat. I'm going to...

    I said i've tried adjusting the nutes from less to more than I normally due. It may be nute burn and if it is then it's something to do with the lighting and environment and how they interact. I've grown several grows with the same ferts with the same starting and final ppm / ph with success...

    I'm thinking of trying this as an experiment to add to the cab. https://www.amazon.com/TheraBulb-NIR-Near-Infrared-Bulb/dp/B01855YCXM/ref=sr_1_7_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1548564794&sr=8-7&keywords=infrared+light

    Yes...I have the personality I like to know why things work. I think I have OCD like that such as my too long of a post. lol I'm thinking of doing that exactly ...just using a dam hps in the winter and led in the summer if it works out to that as heating the room and all that is...

    What is your room temp generally at with those low humidity numbers and if you run in a cab what's the temp in it with the room temp the way it is. I was hoping a low room temp would be ok if the cab temp with some of the led heat was about 70-75F. What leds do you run and can you give me some...

    Failing growing with leds strips.

    I know what you're saying...and I thought that to and I tried a little less and a little more and the results were the same. The only time things improve is under the hps light. Maybe they are getting burned because they can't breath or transpire correctly with the environmentals and the nute...

    I mean how...I start them off the same way I always have which is generally 1/4 of the strength of the nute which is what the bottle says then increase as they grow.

    I tried hempy with just perlite, dwc and soil ..same results. Which is why I narrowed it down to light.

    Sorry guys...working in IT it's verbosity and more verbosity. I guess it's a occupational hazard.

    Do you heat the whole room, is that your room temp or canopy temp. I really concerned about raising the humidity past 50% as the room is just a standard room with sheetrock walls and carpet...just a spare room. I afraid the carpet and walls might start molding and I'm allergic to that shit.

    I guess I have to heat the whole room then, dam ...that's not why I wanted to run LEDS! ..lol. I thought it might be heat related so I thought I'd increase the power on the driver and lower them to about 6in from the tops until the thermometer that's next to them said 80-83F but the problem is...

    They do great just by changing the light src to hps so I don't know what they'd be nute burned. And, I'm feeding at about 600PPM with a starting water from tap at 200PM so that should be about 1/4 to 1/3 strength. I've had pretty good luck on several runs before in hempy and dwc with hps but...
