    How is this COB LED build?

    Unless you've got £800+ to spend on a decent led imo you can't beat 600w dual spec hps with digital ballast.. well if you want a high yield anyway.. electricity costs to run a 600w hps is so much more cheaper than I thought.. £12 per week for the light (18hr) extraction kit an 2 6in fans.that...

    Heat stress/leaf curl

    I think the roots are definitely happy lol the plants are growing much faster now an I lifted each 15 ltr pot up an there's roots coming out the bottom with like millions of white fuzzy hairs..first I thought it may be a type of mold/fungus but after googling it apparently it's a really good thing

    How much light (lumens) is needed for cuttings to root?

    Would this be classed as indirect light? I havnt got a propagation light so best thing I could come up with is to put propagator outside my grow tent with the grow tent left open

    How many lux for cloning?

    I've just taken 4 cuttings off my plants an put them in the propagator. Unfortunately I havnt got a proper light for cloning .. So if I put my propagator outside my tent with the tent open would they be ok? The lux reading above the propagator is 5000

    Heat stress/leaf curl

    That's exactly my problem at the minute.. 2 plants are fine and 2 are far from.. il just have to see how it goes..although on payday I'm definatly going to buy an air cooled reflector.. I bought a cooltube off eBay and what a load of rubbish that was..the glass was that thin that I didn't even...

    Heat stress/leaf curl

    Good good. Well to start with it was 2ft above the canopy..but I've been advised put it higher..so it's now 4ft above canopy at 600w. I've used a lux metre an right over the canopy there 22000-24000 lux.. Is this ok?

    Heat stress/leaf curl

    Will heat stress/leaf curl kill my plants? Also would temps between 23-25 degrees C and humidity 40-50% prevent this from happening?

    Do my plants look big enough for 5 weeks old?

    My friend does actually grow so I don't know why he told Me to set it up the way he did..shouldnt or listened to be fair..he advised Nope they was in a small pot for the first 3 weeks.. This is my first grow so I'm unsure if they're big enough for their age or not. They was definatly ready to...

    Lights for vegging?

    Okay no problem so the heat stress won't kill my plants off then with them only being 5 weeks old from seed? Temp never goes above 25 degrees C anyway

    Lights for vegging?

    Cheers for the advice mate that's saved me wasting money..cos if it ain't gonna produce good stuff then it's a waste of money an more importantly for me...time! I've raised the 600w dual spec hps to 4ft above the canopy..Now my temp ranges from 23-25 an humidity 40-50% an the lux is 24,000...

    Lights for vegging?

    Would I get good results in veg if I used 2 125w cfls? On the info about them it's says 2 of them will produce 24000 lumens, there's also a 4 tube T5 light I've seen but that's 18000 lumens.. ive already got a grow on at the minute using a 600w dual ballast.. but i always seem to get heatstress/...

    Are my 5 week old plants getting enough lux? Is humidity an temp ok too?

    Just wondering if my plants are in a good environment for healthy growth? I know this won't be 100% accurate because it's a phone app but the humidity an temps are reading the same on my hygrometer. Gotta make do with this phone app till I get a propper meter. Also I've got my light at 400w set...

    Do my plants look big enough for 5 weeks old?

    That's what I thought..it was a friend who told me to set it up like I have done..anyway I've just changed it so the inline fan is at the top connected to the carbon filter.. the temp never goes above 75 and also I've got 2 mini fans..so would I be ok without an intake fan at the bottom?

    Do my plants look big enough for 5 weeks old?

    It never really goes past 75..but I've just disconnected the carbon filter from the inline fan..the turned the fan around to pull cool air into the tent..would this be better? I'l attach a pic

    Do my plants look big enough for 5 weeks old?

    Ok no problem.. so would the fans blowing directly onto the plants stop the leaf curl aswel as the light being raised to 4ft?

    Do my plants look big enough for 5 weeks old?

    I've got carbon filter with inline fan set up + 2 6inch clip on fans..they're quiet powerful for how small they are so ive not got them pointed directly at the plants

    Do my plants look big enough for 5 weeks old?

    Yes your dead right..I didn't realise this till earlier today.. so ive put my hps up to 4ft.. that should sort the problem out shouldn't it?

    Do my plants look big enough for 5 weeks old?

    Oh right good. This is my first grow so there's quiet a lot of things I'd do differently..and going to do differently on the next grow.. eg leave my hps at least 3ft+ until my plants go into flower.. Not water as often until they get bigger.. don't adjust my ph as my tap water mixed with biobizz...
