What size pots my friend?

 

[JimmyJames905]

2 gallon.

 

[ProOrNoIGrow]

Thanks, I'm gonna use your grow for reference as to what I will be able to fit in my tent of same size (if you don't mind of course)

 

[JimmyJames905]

Of course.

 

[Hgrk17]

[ProOrNoIGrow]

I guess you are the test subject for both of us now lol

Day 16 Veg.
Average height is 14-16". Looking healthy. In 13 days I'll top feed with EWC and a little Dolomite and some humic acid (1ml/G) and flip the switch.

Looking good. I'm subbed and want to see how the 1750 chips do.

They go in next week for a total of 8 COBs on a 2x4. One cob per square foot is the general rule. 4 1750k and 4 4000k. Complete red spectrum coverage

I've been drilling and tapping my next four heat sinks tonight so that I can add them to my tent next weekend when I'm back. That'll take me up to 8 cobs in a 32 x 32 tent which works out to just over 7 square feet.

Do you run them at a lower wattage when using one per square foot? I think I've read that somewhere around 30 watts per cob works out to plenty of light.

 

[JimmyJames905]

Yes. But you have to run them close to the canopy. And having used those Epistar chips before you're much better running them at low currant. They tend to "pop" diodes. One will go. Then a few more. Then a row. But a bunch of them got me through my first led grow. They mostly died half way through the second Grow.
