You say shorter, and yet, your picture shows longer. Way longer. All everyone here shows is basically first few weeks of bloom and veg, and obviously, that's where CMH shines. Show me your week 8 with pure CMH all throughout next to LED next to HPS, same strain and everything. And I've got a...

I think you are missing two things, compadre. 1st is, I was responding to another member and another question in total. Where did you get the idea that I, who grows indoor almost solely, would think outdoor has better product? 2nd is, that was my point exactly - that indoor is superior because...

You should check this guys grow out: He grows in soil pots, using Platinum P600 leds.

They already have lol. State fees went up twofold this year, costs about $30k/year to grow and distribute legally in CA. I was talking about the future when referring to the US federal government - Trump wont be in forever, and weed will become legal. Anything that has lots of money in it...

About the greenhouse, I was referring to beating nature. Its somewhat obvious, to any casual observer, that trying to beat the sun indoors is simply impossible from the standpoint that plants have evolved to use the sun for millennia. Anyways, why CMH when LED? LED is the forefront tech right...

Lack penetration power, as in, they lose power more quickly over distance than HPS, so LED is more prone to light distance issues. Of course, if you were to measure at 1" away from bulb, then yeah they are probably the same or LED might win, but at 2 feet LED will not have as much power as HPS...

Hey np, praying for your little ones, hoping they will pull through.

Are you maybe adding a few 0's to these PPM's lol? Sorry, but I use 180 PPM in veg, there is no way you can use 10x that amount and still have healthy plants...not trying to start anything, just want a clarification if someone was to try to copy your method. 1500 ppm is like max amount @ peak...

I have not ran LEC/CMH and dont plan to. Though it might have a better spectrum than HPS, I have not seen the evidence of the results. I also dont really care for grams per wattage, as that mostly depends on strain. Too many variables involved in that number (tent, tent temp, reflector (or...

Hmm that may also be a problem...buy the silica supplement I linked. If anything, add that to the water. Make sure to adjust PH after. You should be using a bit of grow, like 1/8tsp per gallon at least. I use Dyna Gro, they have Pro-Tekt (silica), Mag-Cal (magnesium-calcium), Gro and Bloom...

Of course, everything is strain dependent. Genetics come first. But Ive never met a strain that needed anything over 600 ppm, or 1.2 ec, especially past the second week of flowering when they stop growth to bud. Every 'deficiency' problem was really a game of ratios. Some strains Ive noticed...

DQ is a great strain, super high yields, OK taste, but amazing high. My favorite of all time is Plush Berry by TGA Subcool. Not sure if you can find seeds for it though, looks out of stock at the moment. The plush berry I grew was just, unbelievable - tasted like cream soda, long lasting high...

Might I ask, are you growing in soil or hydro? And what lights you using?

If you have an AC, the temps should be under control unless there isnt enough airflow. Looks like enough to me, but try not closing the cabinet and add a big fan pointing directly to the res. Definitely will need to ditch the res though, drain it and hand water for the time being. I would...

Cool to touch? Probably only LEDs, CFLs can get pretty hot. Do you have AC or central air? If not, you could go try to go 20/4, making the 4 hours off during the hottest part of the day so turn off at 10am and back on at 2pm. Right now though, I can tell that actually the lighting is the least...

Here is my DQ, right around 8 weeks I think...Im honestly awful at archiving my pics and Im not currently flowering a DQ:

IMO CMH is a waste - too much heat, worse than LEDs, and HPS beats it in flowering. CMH seems to really promote leaf growth which I think would be great for veg or 1st week of flower, but I mainly want flowers, all those leaves look great but shield the lower bud sites. Honestly, CMH seems best...

IMHO foliar sprays are a complete waste of money. That being said, if you cant fit another pump or if the inline chilling units are too much, prob chillers do work pretty well. Except, it would be hard to install them on the side of the bucket (need a flat wall). If your res is under 20...

Yup, though I made mine with an Arduino board fit with a bluetooth breakout board. I've been trying to accurately monitor PH, but that is harder said than done. I always find that the PH probe gets out of whack if it sits in the res long enough.... I heard there are some things on the market...

Mixed lighting: the best and puts to rest any stupid arguments on which is superior. I used mixed myself, just LED and HPS though.
