I think you just sold me. 1)Should I lower my lights and raise the intensity or gradually build up over a few days? I also have to figure out a way to stop light through the passive air intakes in the tent however my basement is fairly dark. I can leave the lights off for a few days down...

Decisions, decisions :). Should I wait at least 48 hours since I trimmed up the bottom of the plant for stress reasons?

I cleaned up the bottom few inches tonight and removed some of the fan leaves that were blocking nodes about to show through. I didn't top any more spots since the canopy is pretty even. On the larger plants I am seeing around 25 nodes up there. I think I will check again in 2 days since I...

12 Luminus CMX-22 3500k 90cri built into 2 frames so I can angle and raise independantly. I may add 4 more cobs to the same setup dropping the wattage per cob for efficiency. First 4 weeks I just used one frame and pushed the buckets closer together. I bought a lux meter and trying to veg at...

I am looking for advice on when to switch 12/12. These plants are Royal Queen Northern Light. They are only about 10" tall at the highest point and most advice from my friends was to wait until at least 12" however most 12" plants I see are far skimpier than these. I resolved the issues with...

Here is an updated picture as of today. I decided to veg longer and think I have to be getting close to flipping 12/12. Height is not an issue since these plants are only 10" tall at the highest point. They don't seem to get taller they just fill out more . I put my weakest 2 plants in the...

I really like the idea of flood and drain and if I do a second 4x4 tent I will go with that most likely. The reason i originally wanted to do a SOG setup was because less time wasted if something goes wrong and greater yields. What I have learned about DWC being my first grow is it is very...

That is correct. The table idea would be good but they don't make 5x5 tables and working around it in a tent I don't think will go too well. My 6 bucket DWC system is doing the job but is way too much work to maintain properly. All of the information about timing clones and vegging plants is...

I have been reading all day and decided on 9 sites. I will just start using clones to save a few weeks.. As great as SOG sounds that would be better suited for an actual grow room using a flood table and not a 5x5 tent.

The spacing provided above was good. What I would personally do is make it into 2 frames with 6 LEDs (2x3) 48" long. Use a section of angle aluminum to space 2 rows of 3 LEDs 12" wide (your total frame width may vary based on size of heat sinks). My reasoning is you can remove one frame...

All, I am currently running a 6 bucket DWC system in my 5x5 grow space and nutrient changes are driving me mad. Also since I am currently running a compact strain that isn't utilizing the grow space fast enough. This was my proof of concept run and I would like add sites for the next grow...

Thank you so much for the reply. I actually started low stress training yesterday with pipe cleaners. Maybe a stupid idea but I took 4 pipe cleaners and twisted them together to make one longer one and placed it around the circumference of each bucket near the top. Then I had a place to tie...

I'm a noob and need some help with the veg time in my 5x5 space. I think many noobs like myself get confused when people talk about max yield/number per plants in a space. You read posts like 4 plants or 25 plants which I now think are all correct. What I think people really need to ask is...

Can somebody please help me get the driver dialed in. I am running 3 Luminus CMX22 per driver. All the guides I am finding are for series drivers but this driver is run in parallel and has 2 dials Vo and Lo. I am pretty sure with my setup I can just crank them both up all the way for max...

Thanks for the reply. I was actually going to split it into 2 fixtures with 2 drives each but didn't specify this to make my question more simple. I am running 6 5 gallon dwc buckets this grow but it may change in the future. I will make it so I can move the cobs on the frame if needed and I...

I am looking for the best spacing for my 5x5 grow tent. I will be running 12 Luminus CMX22 Cobs @ 73 watts. I was thinking something like 14 x 18 inch spacing. Does this sound right? That would leave 9" side spacing one way and 12" the other.
