Goober's First Grow - Soil LED 240w

[Goober23]

I've recklessly been using tap water with the nutrients. I have no idea the quality of the water. Probably not the best. Could that be causing them to start dying off a little early? And what kind of water should I use/buy to water the ladies?

Ahh I see so your not even checking ph? And I use tap water my self that should be a problem.

Hi goober. Just came across your thread as I'm about to start a grow with 240w led so I found this interesting. How long did u veg? Plants look small to me. But I'm coming off a grow where my girls got 4 feet tall which was a bit of a pain so small may be good.

Do you let you water sit over night? By doing this all the chlorine evaps out. I always let it sit overnight before watering. Hit me with some updated pics. I'm interested!

Hey guys thanks for your input!

I haven't really checked oh since adding nutes to the soil. I've slacked on that part but I will do that tonight

Dutch, I haven't been letting the water sit overnight but I'm definitely going to start doing that. I completely forgot. And do you have any input as to whether or not carbonated water would be of any use? Picked up a bottle of it because I heard it can be beneficial (I forget for what purpose. Humidity maybe?)

I don't know anything about carb water. I've only got 1 grow under my belt. But letting tap water sit over night is a major help. Goodluck and keep the updates coming

I don't let it sit to clean out the chlorine I just fill up a 2g container then ph adjust it then feed the plants never has been a problem to me ofcourse it would be better to let it air for a good 24-48 hours but I'm jus lazy I just put two airs ones to keep water oxiginated for about an hour then I just feed my plants

The only reason he would yield better results is the fact that there is more wattage going to light. That would be the only reason, if he were to get 1,000w of ACTUAL draw from the wall the LED would outyield the hps.

"If he were to get". He isn't.

"If he were to get". He isn't.

Not my problem he can't afford it, I got enough juice to outpower 2 1000w hps.

Actually most people don't start out with 1000w of true led power anyways, they build up to it once they know it works.

Things are looking good goober! You could try running your tap water through a brita pitcher. Helps a lot removing chemicals as well as dropping the tap water TDS.
