Those are clay pots? Clay will absorb some water. I'd say every day to every other day, depending on how much you water. Both frequency and quantity are important. Plants do tend to droop a little just after a watering, you're right. I notice this in my plants and I don't purposefully get the...

Ease up on the water, imo. They already look a little stressed. See how the leaves are sagging a little and not "reaching up" for the light? Also, the sharp edges on the leaves are a little rounded and larger than they should be. Otherwise the plants look healthy to me. Your temps sound fine...

High lumens per Watt AND high CRI = awesomeness. Take CCT into account. I win. Cya nerds.

I searched Google and found this: https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=194053 Lots of links at the bottom, none of which I've read, but probably some good stuff to help you get your bearings. In my mind you don't have to worry so much about the spectrum/number of Watts. 60W of halogen...

FWIW, I was under the impression that IR will cause stretch, especially in combination with Green light, however, Deep Red and Blue counteracts IR stretch. As long as Deep Red is at a ratio greater than 1.2:1 (DR:IR, respectively) you should for the most part be able to keep stretch at a minimum...

I'm guessing that little thermoelectric dehumidifier wasn't doing much so you bought all the Damp Rid? How much water is that little guy pulling, do you think?

Thanks PSU. I've got a bunch of other "organic" fertilizers that I acquired from various places online which I used to create the super soil mix. I imagine it will be a while before I need to restock, but I wouldn't mind the recommendations. It is weird, though, my outdoor tomatoes and bell...

Thanks. I'll hold off on the mid bloom from here on out. As far as I was aware it was organic. Not sure what you mean. As for why I'm adding nutrients she finished her veg in the 7 gal pot and growth seemed to slow near the end (before I kicked her into flower). I figured her soil had been...

heckler: No, I don't see water droplets, or any evidence of it. Right now I honestly think it fluctuates between very low (AC + blower fan on) and very high (only blower fan on), probably at a frequency of maybe 5 minutes, although I'm not sure. It's not crazy humid in my room as you'd expect, I...

Just checked. My 50W Warm White is being driven by a Meanwell LCP60-1750... Ack. Shoulda payed attention to the eBay listing, I guess. :wall: Okay. So pay attention to the driver you buy, otherwise you'll draw 60W... :dunce:

My 50W Warm White runs at ~60W... before the CPU fan. :o Actually, I'm a bit drunk, so I don't remember the numbers 100%, but, well I was surprised... I'd try to limit these suckers via the driver you choose, they just keep on pulling. My veg tent is rolling around in Watts I didn't know about...

Frackin' redongculous... :clap:

And yet HPS is the light to beat... It's like quantum physics vs magnetism, it makes absolutely no sense. Perhaps it's similar to the correlation of Green light and high fluence rates? At low fluence rates Green light seems to almost inhibit photosynthetic activity. However, at high fluence...

Damn, they look healthy. :weed:

Was gonna say PAR has to do with spectrum, but I know jack about all that technical light measurement mumbo jumbo. It all just seems circumstantial to me, I don't know what to make of a umol/s rating w/o seeing a spectral analysis graph, or at least stated radiometric output percentages of given...

Tune for this post http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=od3beF-ctTI Quick flower update (still ~4th week): Looks like Mag and/or Potassium def. I've thrown some Epsom salt into her water and sprinkled some Green Sand onto her soil. Not much else I can think of past this. Really... uninspiring...

Would be dank if the reflectors/collimators were square some how so you could match your grow space perfectly by finding the right panel height. <<< Set it and forget it mentality. It would also make buying multiple panels and lining up their square beam angles/footprints easy-peasy allowing for...

I'd hold off on the humidifier. I was thinking about buying one, but now that I've got plants of a good size I need to go the other way, my nights have gotten up to 99% RH multiple times. Depends on the air quality you get in your area, and time of year, but high RH is only "necessary" for...

Left the flaps open and it wasn't too much help. Still got up to 95% past few nights. I'll have to assess how much disposable income I have in the near future and decide if I'll just get some Damp Rid, by a small ~20 pint dehumidifier, and/or get an S&P TD-100 inline fan. Thanks again, Jimdamick.

Those look rock hard and tasty. Well played. Any idea why she didn't yield more? Maybe longer veg, or more plants next time? No idea, just throwing ideas out.
