First time grower. What you guys think?

CosmoGrows · Nov 16, 2019

hey @Aqua Man / @MIMedGrower ,
My rootballs tend to look like his that he posted above. To you guys, does that look healthy? Does it look like it wasn't watered correctly? if you can tell. Im just trying to get an idea of healthy roots. Some people got some MAD THICK nice white looking roots, mine are always dark and covered in soil like that, are we doing something wrong? Or is it because were in FFOF\happy frog instead of CoCo?

They look fine... They could have went longer before transplant is all

Okay cool, thanks for the input, just wanted to make sure they werent supposed to be more vibrant. i guess if he waited before transplant, and let them grow out longer, they would show more of what im looking for.

Appreciate that should I higher or lower wattage and volts I have both options with my power supply

I cant advise on the boards. Never used one personally. But maybe the many led growers can give some guidance.

The roots look like they permeated the soil and grew into a proper root ball. I usually go a bit longer until i see some outside swirling. They do that after the pot is full when watered properly.

But in my opinion when you see too many thick white roots circling the bottom and sides of the rootball in only a couple weeks i think its from watering too often. The roots need dry time to search all over for moisture and nutrients. That makes a dense rootball.

Just reread my question. I took a hit haven't had one in 3 weeks. I meant to ask to lower the voltage and dim them down more. Or just left he lights up away some. Sorry.

From the readings you had earlier it appears you have decent coverage so just lower the wattage

So plants are back In tent under lights power was turned down and I dimmed them down so I'm at like 15000 to 17000 lx.

Who can recommend a light timer. I can not use my old one cause the new lights have 3 prongs. So if anyone has a heavy duty one they use and works please let me know.

Nope, i havent! I use the GE One, the 6 dollar one, I didnt check the reviews. You can really use any of the ones offered on amazon, of course if their 3 pronged.
----->This is the one i use<-----
Its served me well.

I added
This one for multiple outlets, i dont know how well it is though. This one for multiple outlets, i dont know how well it is though.
