Hi guys. I just want to add that I am by no means an expert on this. Fox Farms should make it more clear in my opinion. I am just sharing my personal conclusion from what I have learned about the nutrient ratios and what I will be using. If you are having deficiencies showing of certain...

I have an engineering background and mindset and want to put in my conclusion on this subject that seems to cause a lot of confusion. I have gone over their schedules extensively and really know I have it figured out when looking at the old version of the schedule. The confusion mostly arises...

I just ordered a second Viparspectra 450 for my 32"x32". Should be killer now. 1 450 just didn't get the spread. I would work on plant training a little n try to get a more even canopy. Also if you are only using the FF trio, u shouldn't be following the feeding schedule. That has you using all...

I have an engineering mindset and want to put in my opinion. I know this is an old thread. I have gone over thier schedules extensively and really know I have it figured out when looking at the old version of the schedule. The schedule is only any good if you use the whole line up. If you are...

Got me a new 2ft 4 bulb T5 for the veg cabinet. Think I am going to flower my smallest 6 under that immediately and train the ones in my tent a while before flowering and monster cropping. I think my plants are compact enough to flower OK under the T5. Plus I have more supplemental light if...

Well this thread is old as hell and the dude that made it was clueless. When he said he needed to experiment how many tops to get because he is inexperienced, should of been a red flag. Ideally you should get four new tops. What he is explaining is some sort of micro topping. He is doing a basic...

It is really hard to see them from your photo. But the location suggests they are hopping out of your medium. And by the shape I would guess they are springtails. If you haven't already identified them. Provided you are talking about what looks like thousands of elongated dust specks from the...

I picked up a bag of Happy Frog. It was the only soil I could find stored indoors locally and it wasn't near thier other soils that were all outside. I noticed in the store several Hypoaspis Miles on the bags. I still went for it because everything else everywhere was outside and it was even...

Ok I'm officially considering my babies in veg. After a rough start they look good and are growing fast now that I have got the environment right for them. I am going to squeeze 9 in my tent for veg until they get sexed and monster cropped. Plan to try FIMing out too. I am going to put the...

Well heard somewhere once a plant is stunted it always is. My plants are growing good now but out of abundance of caution and with my abundance of seeds and an empty veg cabinet, going ahead and starting another round of seeds. I plan to eventually order seeds online so might as well try out as...

Wow, everyone talking about this like it is so new. This thread is 7 years old! I guess that is new to some. I only just heard about this and plan to do this so I can know I am cloning females and even get an idea of the phenotypes of my seedlings and have a clone or two of each. Seems a good...

I do get nervous with the LED. I thought my tops looked a little droopy and my leaves aren't very big so I worried it was too much light too soon. Also have like no internodal spacing. So I backed it off and also backed the fan up a little, they were really blowing around. It has been a few...

Update: Well I sucked one of my best babies up in the shop vac :( Tried to transplant one of my ones that didn't get transplanted originally into the pot and ended up collapsing it. Might just dump those three that were in bad soil, they are lagging. That would leave me with 13 healthy looking...

I am asking for a goal Watt per Sq. Ft. assuming that most grow LED's would be similar PAR and efficiency. I know there is a range, I was just hoping to get a smaller range since most of the info is outdated and the tech is changing quickly, and there is much more experience with them now. I...

General rules of thumb: Pot should be 1 gallon per foot. Yield is based on light, not number of plants, 50 watt per sq. ft. is adequate, get the 400w. You only need your fan CFM to match your volume. Basically all inline fans will work for your space, but don't bother with booster fans...

I thought this was kind of neat. Screw in COB with built in fan. No reviews yet. Cheapo brand.though. But I could see those being nice for supplemental lighting if you only need one or two. 33w true power and heavy in reds. Well I can't post links but you get the idea.

Yeah those are nice too. Price isn't too bad either. Nice spectrum. I hadn't looked too much at those, I was set on LED. Only thing I don't like is the bulkiness and the price of bulbs. I will def consider that if I don't like the way my LED grow turns out. I have a thing for LED I guess and...

Thanks. It looks like a better spectrum then the Viparspectra. I did look at that light while researching. I just heard so many good things about the Viparspectra. Wonder how it really compares. It might also just be too much additional wattage for my space. I am not pulling the trigger too...

Awesome guys. Thanks. Those are good answers. I guess that range is always going to be wide with the range of quality these things are made. I'm at 28 watts per sq ft now with a Viparspectra 400w (200w actual), I believe that falls into the less efficient category. I am thinking of just getting...

Hey guys. Just trying to get an answer on this. The sources online range from 25-60 watts of LED per sq ft for flowering optimally. I don't have a par meter and I am just looking for a general goal. I know that LED should be measured in Par umols. I know LED's aren't that far off though that...
