how is it off? and from what ive seen a 1/4lb from one auto in a 5 gal is pretty good compared to other grows.. the plant would not handle more than 700ppm. so im not sure what you mean by under feeding it?.
im gonna get a cheap ebay "1200W" cob led light. there pretty cheap at about 180 bucks.. 250W actual draw. to put along side my 2 cxas running at 100W's each.. to give the plants more of a full spectrum.
the cxa 3070's are 3000K and im planning on adding this to my tent. i should be at max...
soo.. I grew a single plant as a test.. with nothing more than a modified Lucas Method 1 tsp maxibloom with 1ML of GH micro per gal.. with pure blend tea and great white shark to prevent root rot
5 Gal bucket DWC
2 CXA 3070's each driven at 41V x 2.5 amps about 105W's each cob
Tyrone...
im not sure its some ebay speical but it puts out 2.1 amps and i have 2 cxa 3070s with one driver each so 210Ws total.. and yea all i uses was GH maxi bloom and GH micro.. with some pure blend tea and great white shark to stop root rot..
id like to see a plant botanist join these forums. so we could get some real answers.. like what is the actual nutrient requirements for a cannabis plant.. IE how come maxi bloom and GH micro have the same results as a full nute suite from advanced nutes?
ive basically come down to these...
ohh man ive been growing for like 12 ish years.. 99% of stuff is pure bullshit with no science to back anything up..
hence I can get 6.5ozs out of a single autoflower with no more than maxi bloom and GH micro for nutes... i crank my cxas at 105Ws each.. so fuck the norm i say
i can best say...
she was grown under 2 Cxa 3070's running 105W's each with a 10K and 420NM t5 side light.
nutes 1tsp maxi bloom with 1ml micro, 3.5ml botanicare pure blend tea, 1.5 ml biostrath. 1/8 tsp great white shark. started at that then went to that per GAL 4 weeks after seed. started flush 4 days...
is 2% such a huge factor in real life? even coverage? I have a set up where one light is on each plant.. maybe if your dumb and put all your lights in one basket then i could see coverage being an issue. or if your trying to light an extremely large grow area.. do you even notice the difference...
way to much salt build up and hes having nute lock out.. also needs some cal.. if you have hard water in your area or it leaves white marks on your dishes.. just add some tap water to your RO.. and youll be fine..
I personally run my cxa3070's at 2.5 amps each. I don't see the reason to be running my lights soft. the only advantage being what? life span.. so instead of 7 or 8 years I might get 4 or 5?. woopty do. if i get 5 years out of one chip or driver ill be happy.
besides if you run em a little...
