Hamme Hydro's OG Phototopic

Okay good to know that they don’t need much light at this point, i will heed that info!

I am now at 50% of what my d.i.y. led from Samsung strips is capable of but i never run higher than 465 watt tops.

And true to the guessing game, those days are soon gone!

hi papalag, hope you`re doing well!?

guessing can be fine!! but for me at the begining after the switch to led. it was a catastrophy. and i feeled like i had never grown a plant before. and switching nuts to self mixed salts didn´t helped much :rofl: :rofl:
and that phone app saved me .

I hung the lamp a bit higher otherwise the spreading isn’t ideal anymore. Furthermore i increased the wattage to 300 watts to compensate this. One plant in the middle seems to have a small problem with the lights.

When you look at the picture of the plant with the curling leaves would you say back off a bit?
