New Custom Tent Build & 4 Strain HPS Grow

[Greenthumb J]

What is your water temps?

What brand Nutrients are you using, and why are you following the "Lucas formula"?

>>> "You may want to consider removing the damaged leaves. It helps detect future problems, keeps the ladies thinking about growing and makes your garden look better"

Please dont listen to advice like this. If you are experiencing a deficiency, do not remove the affected leaves until the deficiency is cleared up as it will just spread to other leaves.

You may also want to do something about the heat.. 82f or 27.7c is too hot.

You RH% at 30% is far too low for vegetative growth. you want 60-80% during vegetative and 30-50% during flower.

What is the pH of the nutrient solution?

what is the PPM of the solution?

This forum is getting overrun with crappy LED grow after crappy LED grow. I will be following along to another fellow HPS grow!

I know not to remove the leaves the plants can use them i usually let them almost get to the point of falling off. The temps r usually around 78° the times when the box get to the 80+ range is when my wife is cold and she decides to close the window my box vents out of the and humidity drops rapidly when i have the tent open.

I added 120 watts led for this last week of veg and for the duration of flower. Pics to come

 

[punkxdontdie]

New pics with my led bulbs and hps to come soon...

 

[punkxdontdie]

I added 60 watts per side of led lights as you will see.

 

[Greenthumb J]

You should try and lower the LED's even more. part of the footprint of the LED's is being blocked by the HPS hood.

Looking great!

 

[punkxdontdie]

I did notice that in a couple days the hps will be moved up an inch or 2

 

[punkxdontdie]

Approx. 7 days till flip to flower

lol i apologize for sounding like a douche, but what exactly are you "flipping"?

Honestly i think this is the stupidest way to say people are putting their plants into flower. The plants aren't doing backflips. We aren't buying plants, fixing them up then reselling them for a profit.

That actually makes me very curious as to how that term came about..

EITHER WAY... I am excited to see your plants pack on some buds!!

Douchery over!

 

[punkxdontdie]

Its like flipping the switch on your led light from veg to flower so "flipping"

 

[Greenthumb J]

But LED grow lights weren't even around yet when this term was coined.

And even still.. that Veg and Bloom switch on LED's have nothing to do with the actual flowering cycle, and in fact only change the spectrum of light emitted.

But, I get what people mean, it just makes no sense at all.. you have to change the on/off time on the analog/digital timer to a different duration. Not "flip" their plants. I just wish people would call things what they are!

I apologize again! I guess i'm just a huge stickler for proper terminology!!

Greenthumb,

I grow 24/0 in Veg... When I go to 12/12 I have to flip the light switch "off" so they start to get dark time. Maybe that is what people mean. They flipped the lights off...

 

[Greenthumb J]

I doubt this is how the term was coined, but it definitely fits for people who oddly grow in a 24/0 light cycle in veg.

 

[punkxdontdie]

Heres a pic to show how big they have gotten.
