If your still in veg why not cut them back? If they are at your light already and it's in veg, I'm hoping your growing in a 2ft cupboard, cuz if they are 4-5ft tall and still in veg, your in for some tall plants. They can stretch 2 or 3x their size in flower...

Some issues I found when moving to a tent was controlling night temps and humidity. I was in a 5x5 in a basement and it got too cold down there at night. I also found that using a notill planter bed inside a tent works but sucks due space constraints in a tent. Honestly my conclusion after a...

Until you run out of vertical height and the plants no longer get light to the whole canopy and your whole crop yields less

You can have your res outside your tent if you want, which is how I had mine. I only had maybe 4ft height inside the grow space. You theoretically only need 35ish good led watts per sq ft, so you could go with a 150ish true watt led

What is your ventilation like? Is the exhaust fan you have the right cfm for the filter? I had a 2x2 cabinet I was growing in for a little while with a 350 cfm hyperfan dialed down to maybe 35%, on 24/7 under a 135w HLG led light and was able to keep the temps down pretty easily

Goals: 35ish watts per sq ft with good LEDs means you need about 300w for your 3x3 for flowering. I'm a big fan of HLG lights but they are higher than your budget (hlg 300) Cmh = ceramic metal halide or LEC lights (they are good lights too)

What is your growing space size? Makes a difference. If your going for LEDs, you cant find the best with 180$ unfortunately.

Just curious, is there a white paper or anything that helped you create this procedure? I am in school for soil science myself and am interested how your measuring npk values in the soil without sending it in for testing

I have 2 of those 550s as well. Gonna do a combination of those 2 over a 4x8 and the cmh on one side as side lighting (only have the 4 lights and couple 130w hlgs for clones and veg)

I have a mr cool advantage 9k minisplit, which is being installed on friday. I don't think it has a remote sensor. I do plan on using it's own system to control the temperature. While I have the autopilot F90 controller, it is a 120v not 240v like my minisplit and lights. I plan on using it to...

Well shed now has power. I need to hook up all the circuits and the minisplit will be installed next week. Hopefully I got everything I need. I'll be doing something to the floor in the near future. This grow room is coming out nice but expensive lol Any suggestions on how to set up the...

When you say fair sized grows, just curious what that would be. Are we talking a 10k (lights draw) room or something smaller? Also curious, was there like a standard that had to be met for ya'll to report or was it literally just anything suspicious from what you were saying in your post?

Nah I'm paying someone. Got the job declined by a couple electrician companies before one said they were down to do it due to the pandemic. Getting 100a run to the shed. They all commented on the 10 wire, but they said it wouldn't be a problem. The room isnt getting permitted or inspected. The...

yes

That is 150w from the wall. The amount of plants doesn't make a difference for the amount of light you need for a given area. That light is good for a 2x2 canopy.

The build has truly begun! I am excited. Still need an electrician to come out to install and run a new 100a panel but insulation and inside wiring is done! Inside I have 5 circuits currently. 1. 240v 20a for minisplit 2. 240v 20a for 2 HLG 550 rspec 3. 120v 20a for 2 315 cmh and co2 gen 4...

You can buy fabric pots for raised notill beds. They work great (I use 2 4x4 fabric beds). You want aeration throughout the soil but you don't have to have a ton of rocks near the bottom of the beds. The rocks help you avoid too much water sitting near the bottom of your bed. Personally, I have...

Your 740w would shine on a 5x5 space but it will still grow good stuff in a 6x7 but you really would do better with more light.

As an example I have 2 550w (from the wall) top shelf LEDs, and 2 vertical 315w cmh... ... All over a 4x8

I don't grow autos but I listen to a lot of podcasts and according to those, ppl do 18/6 often. **I had 18/12 as the light cycle (changed it), bad typo.
