    long time grower thinking about switching to LEDs

    sounds like Cal Mag is clutch! inline pump sweet.. i didn't even know they existed.. but looks perfect. is there a specific reason you don't care for coco? seems like coco would be easier to hand water? i bet I make drip system either way.... but watering rockwool covered in panda film seems a...

    long time grower thinking about switching to LEDs

    looks like a nice set up! sounds like you need a lot less coco than soil.. I would use bigger pots as i need to stretch 24-30 plants over 170 sq feet. does your auto water system clog? if not what do you credit towards that? using synthetic nutes?

    long time grower thinking about switching to LEDs

    that's a great article, thanks TintEastwood! I like how you can't over water coco.. I guess I would lose about 4-6 inches in grow space going with coco in five gallon pots vs rockwool cubes, not a deal beaker. i guess your going to want to water coco more often than rockwool, watering coco by...

    long time grower thinking about switching to LEDs

    ah yes i forgot you should use RO water for hash. Nice, I found the stealth150 sitting around so I will grab some new filters and use that. no negatives to using RO water I assume? not an excess removal of micro nutes? yea I remember my veg plants being a little pot stuck by the time my flower...

    long time grower thinking about switching to LEDs

    great info thank you! yes i've always loved hand watering and since this garden might be temporary and sort of an "LED test".. watering by hand for now should be great. yea if youre using thick RootsOrganic nutes that would deff mess up any auto water system! when i did have auto water...

    long time grower thinking about switching to LEDs

    hey Kdotwash, I would have never considered switching in the past to LEDs (I've been retired from gardening for the last few years.) but now i am hearing good things and I really expect for them to pay for themselves just after the first year. 7years of Leds? wow.. so you started with...

    Detailed description of potential room and process, need review: 10x12 room with additional 2x5 closet (12x12 area in total) and 5x8 bathroom

    4x8 flower room and 5x5'veg room? If i have that right, i would think your veg space is bigger than you need. 1 gram per watt worst case? traditional 1000w HID that would be over 2lbs/light ..is 1 gram per watt easy with LEDs?
