Have you thought about just raising the light? BTW....what light are you using, and how high above the tops??Hey guys, first timer in all sorts of ways
there is leaf burn on one of these plants that decided to blow up into the atmosphere of my little world,
I am unable to raise the light anymore, so I’m running out of ideas and seeking some help here
I’m currently using both red and blue light switches (veg/flower) because I read even though the requirements are separate for light and phases, the flowering phase does use some blue light
should I cut off the blue light to lower the intensity? Or is it ok if this one plant gets a little leaf burn at the very top?
thank you for any advice. And I mean any!
1st, and I am not knocking your light; That light is nowhere near a 1200 (TRUE) watt light..This was copied from Amazon.Anddd I can’t raise it anymore as of yet, due to the space
There you go..Nice plants!thank You I sure do appreciate your experience in this
the temps are being kept right at 77-80 degrees
humidity kept at 35-40 now started at 60, slowly lowered)
using low amounts of foxfarm big bloom and tiger bloom (switched to tiger from grow big during veg)
ph of water is kept at 6-6.5 reading that autos like 6-7
3 gallon fabric pots
ocean foxfarm soil
small fan underneath and 2 fams in the middle, one large up top for exhaust
the stick is exactly 20 inches from the light which has the temp and humidity sensor
the zip tie on the rope is measured where the original Leaf burn started
these lux readings are taken exactly level on top of each numbered plant
hope this helps!
Your setup sounds good..BUT, I would not have my exhaust set by temperature. It not only exhausts heat, but also gets rid of humidity as well as a fresh air exchange!Ty, that’s good to hear!
I started out with ph problems and did not correct it until 2 weeks ago when I bought the ph meter, according to the distributor the ph meter was precalibrated but does occasionally need to be recalibrated
I actually wrapped the wiring around some bamboo 2 days ago to raise it another 2 inches but I like your double up zip tie idea better.. can get a few more inches up
the exhaust fan is just a heavy duty vornado fan at the top blowing heat out..l but I set the temp to 78, I can definitely lower the temps
but like you, I’m old and I like to feel the heat too I just didn’t know how to read my hand correctly lol
I wouldn't cut the blue..Plants need both spectrums in flower..You can't just add a dimmer to a light that was not made for it either..I have 2 of these + the Unitfarm UFO 80 in that tent. I use different lights rather than a single large light so that I can grow different strains that are tall and short in the same tent. A few of the Farmers here have bought them too..Great everything!Very nice looking! Compared to mine yours looks 3x + more production happening... inexperienced guess ofcourse
I actually invested in 2 more kingsleds already, lol
ill see what happens with this round, and maybe round 2, and maybe I can later on do something with these and look into dimmers,,, that sounds like a real fix! Thanks thanks
i just now cut off the blue light on mine so it’s only the “flowering” light which will produce I’m guessing about 20% less intensity than with both red and blue together, and I’m gonna try to turn on the blue light for a few hours a day since they say.... flowering uses blue but not that much, just a little
so if I can lower the intensity and just give it a little sometimes maybe that’s a temporary fix
I actually Just added that exact light to my shopping card before checking back here lol.. like $850
guess I better cut a hole in my ceiling if 3 more inches isn’t enough
that’s a real nice, professional looking light
