I had a hydro problem a while ago that had me scratching my head for a while. It was a GHE Waterfarm, which has a load of Hydroton in a tray on top. Nuits always looked ok as did the roots in the bucket. Problem turned out to be fungas nats in the hydroton. A Neem drench on the hydroton...

3weeks into flower under the new light.

Just had to make a new batch of feed. Girls drank 40l since in under 4 days

I put in a hydro plant into tent 2 to start flowering. 14/2. Added a new pole to tent 1 and have 3 qb288s in a line over 2 plants with 60x60cm nets

Whoa, I'm getting slack updatng. New flower round in tent 2 started Feb 4 night 1. This round has 3 ladies, 2 under 60x60 nets, third under a 50x50. All in 15l autopots using AN Sensi nuits. Hoping to get 500gms dry this round. Have a new light on the way as I also added a 120x60x160 tent...

Took me a while but I also have the same problem plus fairly high humidity. The problem was lights off when the temp in the tent would fall to as low as 3 or 4 C . After a lot of trial and error with heating the room, I finally found a reasonable comprice of keeping the room around 20c and I...

waste of money using incandescent, too inefficent

Bit late with the update. I took out the amnesia as it looked done after 7 weeks plus I didn't want to put up with another week of PM. There is a little now on 2 of the other plants but they are both about to be done. On the 6th was day 1 for tent 1 in flower. There are 5 plants, 2 with nets and...

End of week 6, hydro plant almost done. The cookie kush has about 2 weeks left. Other 2 still have around 3 weeks.

around 30lm/watt

LEDS last 10years? LEDS last 10 year, is a bit of a strech. They start degrading the moment you light them, all be it at a very slow rate. I've seen estimates for typical grow cycles lossing 20% after 5 years. The diode might last for 10 years but the light output will be down the drain.

Start of week 5.

For a 2x2 you want something like a new QB288 with lm301 diodes and some reds runinng 120w in flower.

Thanks, I took a quick look and these are light bar type. These generally spread the light. The other possibiliy is under feeding plant

Move them up a little. I would see how you go at 12inches. Got a link to the light?
