View attachment 4164001 I've adjusted the light now thanks bro ..the plastic is there to support the lights or else the lights will fall on my plant . I want to know if you are using any nutes.
Bro good work with lowering the lights. I really like how you have neatly hanged all the lights from the catch tray, great way to hold the lights in place. I have hanged mine from a keyboard tray :D

I meant to say the plastic on the LED lamp which you have lowered, that part can be taken off by prying it with a screw driver or flat object. There will be a bunch of LEDs on a chip under it, I'll upload a picture of my left light without the cover.

Durban Poison looks very tempting bongsmilie
27 Days is too early to flower, mine is at Day 33, still no onset of budding, give it another week or two.

Good to hear the suggestions worked for you :-)
Total watts of my setup is about 175. Not added any nutes for last 2 weeks, today gave a slight feeding of NPK mixed with pH adjusted water.
Hope we can harvest together :hump:

Had to raise my lights a bit, as she was growing into it. She has more nodes than I can care to count at this point Pics of Day 33:

Even after a stressful beginning she made it through. Hope the high is like LSD trip :joint::joint:

175 is enough for veg and mine is just 98 watt not even 100 :razz: but still she's growing well .

Ill make some high quality organic compost for my next grow . Organic yields less but still organic is always the best.

Imagine the growth with led grow panel I wanted to buy one from Amazon.com but they are out of my budget so i found a led grow bulb which is 80 watt and is available in amazon.in I think two of them will be enough and the price is around 1500 each . My next grow will be grown under led bulb .:weed::weed:

Yes, Any where around 200 Watts should be enough to get you through flowering for a single plant.

I have done my research on LED panels and can tell you this, any of those blurple LEDs that you see on Amazon/e-commerce sites are nowhere near the advertised Wattage, for e.g. A 1500W BestVA LED panel actually draws about 150W at the socket, so don't believe everything you read out there. As it is all marketing gimmick, I am not sure they can yield the results as advertised.

Also the prices on these LED panels/lamps are inflated due to import duties and high re-seller margins. So if you ask me its not wise to spend 1500 INR on a single off-brand LED bulb with no official lumens rating or warranty.

If you are only planning to grow 1-2 plants at a time, then you can get another 6-8 CFLs for 1500 rs, or if you want to grow like a pro, and have enough space/ventilation, then get a 200-250 Watt HPS or MH Lamp. You will have to buy a ballast/reflector/holder separately, but any good electric shop guy can set you up with that. If you don't want to commit that heavily. Then just get a bunch of household LED panels and take off the diffuser cover like you did with your lamp, 2-3 30 Watt household panels + some more CFL would make one killer low budget set-up for a small grow.

My point is, stick to what you know and is cheap, at least for your first couple of grows, once you know what your'e doing you can invest in better and more expensive tools.

Good luck!

You save me everytime man I was just about to order and thought to check out rollitiup and saw your reply. So bro it'll be better for me to stick with CFL and led panel but where can I buy led panel like yours or can I use floodlight which is available in 100 and 200 watt.

Money saved is money earned! :clap:

Yeah, I'd say stick to CFL for now, good thing about CFL is there can never be too much light off it, and you can add/decrease number of lights as you please. I have read some older grow journals, where growers had great results with fluorescent lights, another benefit being fluoros produce the right kind of spectrum which the plant can use.

About the LED I am using, it was just lying around the house from the time when I got some renovations done. It is called a recessed/concealed LED panel light (mines 30W) but they also have LED floodlight in 50/100 Watts. Should be available in any electrical shop/market.
