Deficiency or normal?

[JimmyJames905]

Those Vero chips can handle 100 watt's each can't they? Why are you only running 25? And what can you tell me about spectrums? I know the 3k range is good for flowering and that 4k-5k is hood for vegging but why are you using 1750k chips? School me on COBs and COB set-ups Jimmy..

I'm using the Vero D series 36v chipset. You're thinking of the Vero C series 72v chips. Here's a video I made on the new HPS replacement COB in 1750K
These are the Vero 18 chips in the video. I have 50 of the 1750k Vero 29 D series chips on order. They'll be on my website at Par-Horta.com

Nice!
So I have searched and searched but can find no information on the footprint of the different chips, a single one. Do you happen to know? Im wanting to brainstorm a 2x4 and 4x4 build.

4 Vero 29 D series running on a HLG-185h-c1400 will fill a 2x4 tent. A 4x4 requires 2 of these arrays. That will give you 2400umols average at 12" from the canopy. That's "brighter" than the California sun in summer.

So I phd my water to 7 and tested the run off and it was 7.14. So should I add a pk bloomer? What would you suggest I use? Thanks

You need to get lower than 7pH. Try to shoot for 6.2-6.5pH..

Yes. You can use Earth worm castings or any number of the PK boosters available at your local hydroponics store. I like using EWC as a top feed the day I flip 12/12 and then KoolBloom dry ripener the last 2-3 weeks with one extra week of flushing at the very end.

Do I do that by watering with that level phd water to get my run off that same level?

 

[Integrum Stultus]

Yes, pH to that range and then feed/water.

Ok thank you .

If your ph is continuously over 7 you may want to consider getting some Dolomite it's a calcium magnesium pellet that will buffer your ph to 6.5. Just add a half handful on top of the soil and water through. It will stabilize your ph every time you water. A half handful lasts about 40 days.

Ok. Yeah I phd the water to 6.5 and checked the the run off and it was the same.

Ok so here is a little update pics to show.

I feel like she has changed for the better. Not as yellow or bleached looking and run off ph is always at or around 6.5. And I haven't given her any nutrients since I flushed with florakleen then I watered with just regular water phd to 6.5, run off of that was also 6.5 or a little below and then her next watering that I gave her was with advanced nutrients hammerhead. She has needed to be watered every 3 to 4 days now. Now it's time to water again and I was wondering if it would be ok to add sensi bloom A and B now. Oh also switched lights. So now I have two 300w leds in. One a mars hydro 300.

Thanks ..

I've also got some AN Big Bud coming in as well.

You can use the sensi or sprinkle 1/4 cup bone meal over the top soil and water through.

JimmyJames how do you think she's looking? I need a professional opinion .and I know you're the one to ask lol
