    Failing growing with leds strips.

    What is your room temp generally at with those low humidity numbers and if you run in a cab what's the temp in it with the room temp the way it is. I was hoping a low room temp would be ok if the cab temp with some of the led heat was about 70-75F. What leds do you run and can you give me some...

    Failing growing with leds strips.

    I know what you're saying...and I thought that to and I tried a little less and a little more and the results were the same. The only time things improve is under the hps light. Maybe they are getting burned because they can't breath or transpire correctly with the environmentals and the nute...

    Failing growing with leds strips.

    I mean how...I start them off the same way I always have which is generally 1/4 of the strength of the nute which is what the bottle says then increase as they grow.

    I tried hempy with just perlite, dwc and soil ..same results. Which is why I narrowed it down to light.

    Sorry guys...working in IT it's verbosity and more verbosity. I guess it's a occupational hazard.

    Failing growing with leds strips.

    Do you heat the whole room, is that your room temp or canopy temp. I really concerned about raising the humidity past 50% as the room is just a standard room with sheetrock walls and carpet...just a spare room. I afraid the carpet and walls might start molding and I'm allergic to that shit.

    Failing growing with leds strips.

    I guess I have to heat the whole room then, dam ...that's not why I wanted to run LEDS! ..lol. I thought it might be heat related so I thought I'd increase the power on the driver and lower them to about 6in from the tops until the thermometer that's next to them said 80-83F but the problem is...

    Failing growing with leds strips.

    They do great just by changing the light src to hps so I don't know what they'd be nute burned. And, I'm feeding at about 600PPM with a starting water from tap at 200PM so that should be about 1/4 to 1/3 strength. I've had pretty good luck on several runs before in hempy and dwc with hps but...

    Failing growing with leds strips.

    Here some pics. It looks like nute issues but if I put them under the hps they start to improve. I've tried these plants in hempy and now soil with basically the same results. My ppm is about 600M with dyna gro foliage pro with a tap starting at 200ppm.

    Failing growing with leds strips.

    I've recently put together a diy led light using 9x "BXEB-L0560Z-35E2000-C-B3" strips mounted onto a aluminum frame I made and driven by a hlg-185h-c1050a. The lights footprint is 18 inches deep and 24 inch wide. It turned out great, It's bright as fuck and I know that doesn't mean anything to...

    What about the temp at the canopy?

    Led grow light distances from plant.

    It's not leaning..I had to tie it down a little. As for the RO I here you and may try that but I mean I've been using city tap for years now with awesome success; in fact coming out of the tap at 200 ppm is dam lucky from what I hear others talking about.

    Led grow light distances from plant.

    Seems like chrome doesn't work for me uploading files....used ff. Anyways, here are some pics. I'm just so embarrassed as all my other grows these would be at least 10 times this size and bushy and green. As I mentioned I even bought new nutes as I thought my dynogrow foliage pro went bad or my...

    Led grow light distances from plant.

    I'm embarrassed to say, they are about 6 weeks old and I'm just stumped. I've never had these issue like this before...I mean I've had heat stress before with hps but other than that nothing this prolonged. And, as I mentioned everything is the same as the last several runs I did except the light.

    Led grow light distances from plant.

    Ok that helps, my custom build using EB series strips is about like your quantum board so that gives me some perspective. I've tried running it at 98 Watt and about 6/8 inches off the tops to 150/180 Watt about 8/12 inches off the tops. I've raised the light to about 14 inches off the tops...

    Led grow light distances from plant.

    Right, that's what somebody else said...they stated the leds didn't put off the IR like the hps did. This is another reason that I ran the lights close or turned up. I've had it around 82F to 90F according to the temp/humidity gage sitting by the plants.

    Led grow light distances from plant.

    Good day friends. I'll start off saying I have a few grows under my belt and have done very decent in the past but I was using hps for both veg and flowering. I decided I wanted to go LED for many reasons. I built me a led strip light using 9x BXEB-L0560Z-35E2000-C-B3 running on a meanwell...

    3500 color temp?

    I agree brother...I think it's a fluke and it has more to do with my medium being too saturated. I think I put too much vermiculite in the mix.
