tokenroll Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 @colboyxx what diyleduk has said is correct. If the footprint of your light can cover you plants foot print at a lower height and lower power then do that, move the light up as required. So why use 400watts when maybe 150watts will do the same thing. Toke... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinafem-Mark Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 7 hours ago, diyleduk said: At the right heigh, everything will be a bit more compact than hps. Node distance and buds. If you do see any leggy growth, just lower the light height. Keep the temps up also. 28C is perfect for these lights as the leaf temps are a little lower than hps (1-2C). @diyleduk Thank you for that added info my friend. LED growing us new to me so as much info as possible is appreciated. I'm just setting a 1.2m tent up so I'll give your panels a look as feedback so far from the UK420 community looks positive and it's nice to support other vendor's All the best Mark.. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colboyxx Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 Hi everyone update time, she's 7 days into flower now and been under the new light for a week also, she's drinking lots, a litre a day, 1ml grow + 2ml bloom, I gave her some Epsom salt during the week also due to light green between the veins on the bottom leaves. I've noticed everything's growing very compact with minimal stretch at the moment, hope that's ok, let me know if not please, maybe she will explode upwards next week, that's it for the moment peeps, enjoy the pics, and as always all comments welcome. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokenroll Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 @colboyxx looking spot on, if you can keep the temperature up it should be plain sailing to the end now. Toke... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colboyxx Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Hi all update time, were 14 days in flower now and all seems to be going ok, she's still drinking a litre a day , 1ml grow + 2ml bloom, she hasn't stretched too much so far, temps are 27-29 lights on and 20-22 lights off, humidity 54%, plenty of new buds growing up towards the centre of the plant, whether they will come to much we will see, so yes all happy, the lights performing well so far too, here's some pics guys, enjoy and MOST of all stay safe.

Dinafem-Mark Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) @colboyxx Looking in great shape mate You can see that early training and plant manipulation is now paying off That's one lovely structured plant just getting ready to explode. Those buds are getting ready to show us what they can do Nice to read that the stretch has been minimal. What would you say mate? 1x - 1.5x stretch? Coming along a treat All the best Mark..

Ledgrowlights-Adam Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Plenty of buds forming there mate, doing a good job. Main lining is an interesting technique, ive never tried it but it's something that interests me. Good luck with the rest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
