I used two bags of ffof and a bag of some amended coco I use flora nova for flower with big bud nda bud candy in Vegas I used general organic grow and surge this all starts at like week 3 lfower

Id put my money on it being hungry for more nutes or ph related issues involving nitrogen availability. Any other element deficiency like K or P. would show spots instead of clean even yellowing in my experience. @gravekat303 if it was me id give it a low ppm flush double checkin for correct ph then work my way back up to high ppms. it really looks just plain hungry to me

I did some reading up on this too and it seems Pimp T is spot on.

@gravekat303 did you stop giving it N? when you flip are you using a stronger light? when I first started earlier this year, when I got my hps and finally threw them under it every single one yellowed up.. I'm thinking that the stronger light increased growth rate and they sucked all the N that they had stored.. it was about week 3 all were completely pale yellow (8 of 9 were males anyways lol). sound familiar?

Thanks man they will get some more grub tonight I'm just so busy the test room got neglected I guess thanks everyone

My roots are falling in love lol. The things you notice while you're high. Anyone else see the heart?

Quick question. I have a bunch of two week old seedlings, woukd I be okay to put my 400 watt hps above them in a 3×3×5 tent? I have a fan on light helping cool and a fan blowing cool air in from outside. I also have the window open in the room and it's like 30 degrees outside. So would I burn them or will they appreciate the extra light??? In another day I'll have another fan for in there in just waiting on it.

I like micro grows.My first was in a phototron,the original,back in 2008.Not a big producer but it was some fine swamp skunk weed. :)

Pimp T is right. Shes hungry as can be.
I see not only a classic N deficiency, but also a phosphorus deficiency. The phosphorus deficiency is what is causing the leaf necrosis. If it was pH we would see more issues, imo.
Won't hurt to flush, but I bet a good feeding cures her.

Best of luck. Peace

Start light up high as possible. Ease it down slowly over a few days.

Good look OG @ShroomKing

I'm gonna chop pineapple express, ghost og and pineapple kush around the same day (day 75) that's simply too many strains for me to take tester cuts and keep my head on straight.

I find testing stuff that way to be difficult as well. I can't test some stuff, & try some taken a few days later & notice a difference. It may be just that my tolerance is so high that minor changes.

It doesnt smell in the house at all. The problem is that portable acs have an exhaust hose that blow hot air and its a high cfm fan it the ac that blows the exhaust air. Probably higher than the inline fan I have. The exhaust hose blows under my house and my garage has an access door to under the house. When I come into my garage with the ac on in the car it sucks in the smell and that smell sticks in the car. @Junk

Click to expand...

I see...could you put some sort of reducer or series of reducers (technically, I mean the opposite of a reducer) to a cap filter? That way the exhaust the AC is putting out, the air getting into your cars, would be filtered? Those AC's usually have 4" ducting no? If so, it would just be a converted to a 6" & use a centrifugal fan to help the ac fan. Those portable units aren't designed to have a lot of air pressure exhausting, so if you were to run it to a cap filter, I think you would need to give the ac fan some assistance.

How long did you veg them?

Stumpy420 said:

so I've been looking into led, and I'm thinking I'm going to just go with the tried and true mh veg hps flower. I'm thinking 400 mh 600 hps. I think it might be easier to do a perpetual with those.. I'm thinking that unless someone can tell me a clear cut best led light, I'll just go mh/hps

Click to expand...

In that case the way we can best help you is to see the area, or give us dimensions (LxWxH) of the room, what the ambient temp/RH is. Where the room is located in the house etc. Just for an example, if you were just running in a 4' x 4' (& cash wasn't an issue) the Kind K51000 would be fantastic. If you think you may alter the room size, HID is a good way to go. It's easy to daisy chain hoods. My electric rate may play a role, but even running 3k of hid light, my electric bill is under $250

Okay so here another question that come to mind as my brain is just thinking about growing 100% of the time...So you know how it is suggested (while growing with MH/HPS) to leave in your MH bulb for the first 2 weeks and the last 2 weeks of flower, to help contain "the stretch" and also help resin & trich production? Well what if you had a hood that had both a 1k MH lamp AND a 1k HPS lamp in it?? Would you till want to remove that HPS for the first and last 2 weeks? Or will it accomplish the same "goal" by having both lamps and both spectrums going??? Any information is always greatly appreciated! Thanks Y'all!!!

Click to expand...

I have a hood like that now, the Raptor dual bulb. I have a 1k HPS & a 400 watt MH in there for veg. This is an experiment for me, so I don't have a lot of answers for you right now.

A couple things I can say right now are the hood says not to go over 1k. It doesn't specify if that is total? Or each bulb? The sockets are completely separate. Separate wiring, separate ballasts everything. So the only reason I can see for the 1k limit is if the aluminum won't take the heat. Which is totally possible. I've not looked into it, but I have heard from people that the stuff made overseas (by Hydrofarm & Sun Systems) has a higher tendency to catch fire. My shop won't carry the chinese made stuff because of it. Like Sun Systems has hoods that are US made & some that are Chinese made, my shop won't sell the Chinese stuff. But I have about 1500 in there right now & it's fine.

I can say that what you are talking about with the first two weeks & last two weeks of MH, works much better with the Horti Blue. But they rape you on the bulb.

Also, at my local shop the other day they have the Raptor now without the glass & external stuff. It's basically just the aluminum part at a good discount. I will def be grabbing one.

@Ned Kelly @Lazerus00 cmh IS lec. I figured it out. Google brought up nanolux and sun supply brands. I know sun supply has been around for a good while.. are there any other brands that make those 315 lec?

I don't know if there are others. But I've seen the SS & Nano in person & the SS feels better built.

As for flushing. Evidence on both sides that you should or shouldn't. I personally do simply to get as much chlorophyll out of the leaves as possible. I feel you should flush but how you do it and for how long is a personal choice there is no right or wrong way.

Click to expand...

With some strains, I have not flushed before & not noticed a difference vs flushing. That was with organic (fairly organic lol) With bottled nutes, even organic, with other strains, it seems almost intolerable if you don't flush it. Others, aren't so bad. I haven't figured that out yet, but to me, it just seems like a good practice to flush it...knowing you may create really bad cough weed.

Tnelz said:

What's more important is starting with good genetics and getting said genetics dialed in. Doing that will benefit you far more than which light you use. All comes down to what your looking for brother. Love you passion man. I really do.

How much mag are you using? Still Cali-magic?

So I'm also trying the straight to solo cup with ocean grow method to pop my seeds and I was wondering if during the watering of them should I keep the run off in the tray or drain if it's only like 1/2 full

DismalDude said:

7ft. ceiling. That controller is bad ass,I saw some review vids about it.I also like that it can imitate sunrise/sunset.
I would definitely have to veg. a bit less as height could turn into a serious problem.I did see a couple people growing in tents with this fixture but not a completed run in tent.
My only option is a tent so I want the best light possible but not if it's going to give me too many problems.

Click to expand...

If your only option is a tent, you would have to have some extremely short plants. Put it this way, I could be running one of those lights in my tent (same height issues as you) but I chose not to. I have run out of height before, & it's heartbreaking to part with one of your plants at that point in their life.

Chuckgenetic said:

Yo what's up peeps I was just setting up my new tent and I had a quick question if I'm running a 1k lamp in a 5x5 do u think I will be able to regulate the atmosphere with one 6in inline fan and carbon filter

Click to expand...

What fan? What is your ambient temp & rh (outside the tent)?

I ask what fan because I have a few inline fans, 6" that are only 113cfm. I also have hurricanes, that are more like 430 cfm.

So, if your fan is powerful enough, the answer is yes, it will do what you are wondering.

However, if your ambient temps/rh aren't good there is only so much the fan can do. All a fan does (unless you are sealed) is rotate air. If the environment outside your tent is undesirable, the impact the fan will have is limited. E.g. If your tent is 75/60 for veg , & ambient is 60/40, the fan is going to reduce your temps & rh too much. You have to make sure the air you are recirculating is helping the tent environment. Does that make sense?

The other post with the yellowing leaves, I believe Shroomking nailed it. At least that is the explanation that makes the most sense to me. But I've never personally seen that before. That's a weird one.

@THCdurk ...unless you are putting the seedlings straight into flower without any veg time I would suggest getting a 400w MH bulb for veg, that is if your ballast allows both MH and HPS....just a thought

Thanks everyone for the hep I know it's not ph I check my meter every watering maybe I haven't hit em hard enough this form rocks especially the epeeps of this thread! I'm starting to wonder if it was ebecause I hit em hard before Vegas with plain water because I was gonna be gone

Idk if it does or not tbh I bought it off someone they didn't give me much details. They didn't know shit about it I'm the one that told them it was 400 watt lmao. So I'm not sure if it's compatible with both bulbs bro. It's a htgsupply light @Lazerus00 cause if I can put a mh bulb I will.

Post a pic of the ballest any writing on it.
