I've been debating whether to share this or not, seeing as how there is so much hate and rudeness directed towards anyone trying to stand up for these lights.. but what the hell. After all, the point of this thread is to help inform those interested in these lights. Do I believe PLED claims...

A hostile response, feel like you misunderstood me completly. I am not questioning the integrity or honesty of Platinum. All I am saying is this, the lights clearly grow healthy plants, and the price is reasonable (meaning there are far more expensive options). Soo, I guess I don't see what...

Has anyone ever done a true side by side with one of these platinum lights and another led or diy fixture? Id love to see that. I feel like these lights have a terrible rep, possibly undeserved. Are there claims bogus? Ya, probably, isn't that just called marketing? Anyway, if anyone knows...

Hey thanks for the tips! I chopped her 2 days ago (7 days after this post). She is looking great, can't wait :)

Hey thanks man, I think I will continue to wait a bit, it's hard to do though haha. Will the trichomes continue to develop during cure, as in actually change from clear to cloudy? Or is that pretty well set when you chop it?

Hey all, first grow for me, and I'm looking for some advice. Blackberry Kush Auto from Dutch Passion. They say it takes 70 days, today is day 70. To me, it still looks like there could be 50% clear trichs. I felt I had to share these pics though, because the purple trich stems are beautiful...

Led's can be pretty intense for plants, typically they have a smaller more concentrated focus of light, good if you are at a safe distance, bad if you are too close. It can be misleading if you are used to HPS, they put off such a brighter light than Led, however plants are absorbing nearly...

Hey SimonD, thanks for this info! I am nearing the end of my first grow and have a question about the temp and humidity of the room I will dry/cure in. I'm sorry if this has been already covered in the thread, I read a lot but did not see it. I'd like to know for temp/humidity what is the...

Light is way too close imo. For a 300 watt led, on a new seedling, should start 24 inches and then work towards 18. If it was 6 inches, that's why your leaves are curled.

At day 28 my blue dream was 21" but my white widow only 9" definitely strain specific. One other thought, I saw you started with some bloom nutrients. If you read the link above, he recommends waiting with flower nutes till week 5-6. I'm not convinced giving it flower nutes early will...

In case you had't seen this yet, I have found it to be spot on so far. http://www.uk420.com/boards/index.php?showtopic=318633&st=0&p=3475800&fromsearch=1&#entry3475800

Just curious, how tall would you say each of those plants are in the picture? I find pictures can be misleading in size! I am in week 9 of my first auto grow. At day 21 my 4 autos were 6 - 8 inches tall, 8-10 inches wide. Your bigger one definitely seems bigger than that, I could be wrong...

Thanks for your help man, I think I will wait until my next watering to try the full test, I'd rather use plain water anyways. Your point on PPMs makes alot of sense. I collected from about 2 inches down, but I'm sure the next 6 inches of soil has much higher buildup.

I posted a link above (https://www.rollitup.org/t/please-help-whats-wrong-with-this-leaf.893678/). This was a prior thread when my problems started, pictures are there, Az has seen them. Playing some stupid game? umm.. I haven't done anything to my girls without much premeditated thought, just...

Ok, so I did a drench with a bloom fertilizer solution. It had been 8 days and they looked like they needed it. Solution water = pH 6.7 and 1150 ppm Leach water = pH 6.4 and 1900 ppm This tells me my slurry method was pretty accurate on pH but not even close to TDS! Any thoughts? I know I'm...

I will give the Pour-through a try. If I understand correctly I fully saturate the pots, wait an hour or so, then add an additional 1.5 cups and measure the runoff from that? Am I just using pH'ed water?

Thanks Az! What exactly do you mean by significant runoff? I am using 3 gallon air pots. I typically give them 1.5 gallons water every 3 days. Its just enough to saturate. How much and how often would you recommend? Also, since you are fertilizing every time do you still use a 1x dose?

https://www.rollitup.org/t/please-help-whats-wrong-with-this-leaf.893678/

To be honest I just got the TDS pen and have not checked runoff yet. I assume you want to check the runoff from straight water, no fert right? That pH probe looks nice, I may consider that, although I believe my method should be accurate, just more work. I use air pots and they do get plenty...
