I took me almost 5 grows before I got my light dialed in that tent to find out 30% for veg 60% for my light it’s a Hyphoton Flux with deep fat red light’s built into it.That light is so strong for my 4x4 I can’t even run it at 100 for full flower it’s total overkill.I had plants doing this All yellow shit pouty leaf in that tent I almost threw that light out I was so embarrassed at myself.I’m glad I didn’t I absolutely love my led now I had to raise it up to the ceiling and run it at 30%(Every lights different my 30 might be your 20)Don’t give up

The trouble with that and I have it is keeping the VPD close.
I run my leds WFO have no issues . I do set par atctheccanopy however .
Only things I’ve changed is up temps in tent to 82 F or higher , and use Epsom salts in my feed .
No issues great results , never going back to Hps or cfl or any other lights

Same, never going back unless I’m down my main LEDs.
I don’t use Epsom, or cal/mag. Just npk for the grow and a separate bloom food.
I’m assuming they must be getting enough cal/mag etc from that.
LED did me great. I used most hollandstar blurple pos and now I use spider farmer
Forcing these lil pricks within less of a foot under the 240w spider farmer

everything i have heard is that you can throw vpd out the window when using LEDs
I transplanted the females to a bigger pot and put happy frog diluted with 30.percent perlite…they are in a closet.with cfls and SIL fixture I built three years ago.
I’m loaning my tent and led to a friend…who is a better grower.and has.more skill than I…I just don’t have the free time…for this.
@DainIronFoot
Hats off to you guys and gals who.make it work.

My grow cab is in a shed outside so I’m always growing in high humidity, 70s-80s. Only got bud rot once. I also pull back the buds on the main cola to allow air flow, doesn’t look pretty being pulled and touched but it works!
I keep making the mistake of turning my light up full blast to keep my temps up and even over 4ft away with a 480w it was too much.
Jacks is what I’m gonna be switching to once I run out of the liquid nutes I have now. Looks like it’s been treating you good. I just got an offer from Ibex nutrients to try out their starter kit for free in exchange for doing a couple marketing surveys and posting up my results. Might try one tent jacks and the other with their stuff to see how they compare

Better grower? News to me, but I will put the tent to good use. I am not a fan of led per se but as you know I did purchase a mars hydro. I still may stick to CMH but eager to have the room for the lovely sativas you shared. Thanks buddy!! You can use my HPS lights and maybe your system will like them better than led.

I’m planning on grabbing some cmh for winter time I think. Either to use alone or with led. Which I guess those two together with a good led will give you a spectrum closest to what we get from the sun
Jack’s is falling off a log easy. I used to bubble teas, use fish ferts top dress and the rest. Jack’s for RO add epsom and done. I just bought some of the clone mix and think I probably didn’t need to for rooting clones and new bonsai moms.
Been struggling with keeping bonsai moms healthy but going back to Neptune’s Harvest for those since I strayed from what’s worked for me.

Is usually use straight pro mix bx but for this grow I have going now I just mixed it up with some coast of Maine stuff and extra perlite and different mycorrhizae’s. Curious how it’s gonna effect how hungry they are I’ve always just used just the bx with liquid nutes

I made a thread about the jacks I can’t remember if you commented on it our not but that was what I think everyone said. Works great and super easy to use. And the price per gallon is insanely cheap compared to regular liquid stuff.

I grow in soil and use leds
Love them and never go back to hid.
Ph is usually a main culprit
Followed by to heat and humidity
I grow in a closet so mine get a lot of air, i use a box fan in my room.just to
Keep air moving.
Then there are pests, disease
Nute lock out due to ph off
In water and soil
A lot of variables .
Love coast of Maine stuff. Found a reasonably close nursery that sells the pro mix as well but I really like Bar Harbor, add about a red solo cup of solution grade gypsum per Cubic foot and some Wollastonite and done. Once and done use but I only grow four 5 gallon bags at a time plus moms etc. my growing has never been easier and I’m happy with the results.
