I had a random bagseed take off and stretch like crazy while my Budzilla stretched about an inch.

I was under the impression that growth started to stall after about 85 degrees and with the indoor environment able to be completely manipulated for ideal environment, 85 was a rule of thumb max. I've had a fan failure in the past and my temp probes maxed at 110. A night time watering and they...

Do you have 1 COB running at 2100ma or 7 running at 300ma? Somewhere in between?

I started growing in spacebuckets and I've had a couple 88 watt harvests. Not great. The buds were always airy and loose. It's a neat experiment to try. I tried training for a single big bud on a plant once and wasted a lot of time doing it. Did i say it was a waste of time? I meant that it was...

You use the flush then go to straight water. Flushing is something is only required in hydro. I use organic super soil and I never flush. Pointless to flush soil in my opinion, unless you're going crazy with artificial nutes.

Quality genetics play a huge role. After a few runs with GalaxyHydro 300, I went to COBs and there is no comparison. We're talking about apples and oranges. The best harvest I ever got from the blurple was just under 0.6 grams per watt. After seeing the bud size under COBs, it's hard to imagine...

Yep. It would help if it was a young plant in veg. I wouldn't transplant after putting her in flower though.

Either one would be fine. The light will just dissipate more around the edges with the bigger tent and your canopy will be able to fill in that area, scavenging a bit more light. Honestly, you could go for a 400 watt HPS in either tent and be just fine with good ventilation. Or 200 watts of COB LED.

After dabbling with CFL and HID for a while, LED is where I put my money now. Best gpw and in my opinion, better quality nug. I like the Vero 29 and 18 cobs in the 4000k.

Meanwell 240 series is out in some areas overseas but not in America yet as far as I know. I'm sure that you'd be safe using 3 of them for your application but I am not familiar with the specs yet.

Can we please stay on topic?

This started from a discussion about whether or not staking a young plant will allow the stem to grow weaker than an unstaked plant. I recall during the greenhouse management courses of college they explained how the fans make the stems stronger, forcing the plants to develop stronger root...

To adequately cover your area with intense flowering light, you'll need around 20 of them at 1050ma each. HLG185-1050 will power 5 chips each. You'll need 4 of them.

:) ;) 1 Vero 29 run at 1400 is a great light source for 1 square foot of flower. Double that area for veg. Your 8 Vero 29s run at 700 would be a good veg light for about 8 square feet. You have double that. Two Meanwell HLG 185C-1400B drivers would cover your area well for veg.

How big of an area are you trying to cover? Have you considered the idea of running your chips both parallel and in series? If you were to wire 2 chips together then act as if that is only 1 chip, you'd effectively cut the amp load to each by half while the driver sees the same voltage as 1...

The Pico EZmate can be used for wiring in parallel or series. No soldering required. All the EZmate does is give you a wire instead of a solder pad. If you have so many different applications for these LEDs, you should really have separate drivers for each application. You'd obviously have...

I just started a new thread under general growing.

Will using a stake for artificial support allow a stem to grow weaker than if you left the plant unstaked and put a fan on it?

Thanks for your helpful reply. I'll start banging your wife in my flowering room from now on.
