ShiHanazono Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I'll pull up a chair mate. I'm running the XXL White Widow next. Along with Critical + 2.0 and Amnesia CBD. Looking forward to seeing how you go with the WW. Good luck, keep pushing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something I hear quite a lot, and dont understand why... I don't really mist them but from what I've read, I think the reason is if you mist them with the lights on, the water on the leaves can magnify the heat from the light and burn them. I'm happy to be corrected on that though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeroG Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I find that my plants love it, you get a heat spike when you spray but the humidity goes through the roof when I close the tent keeping it right up fo a while. To be honest I do it every time I pass the damn thing in veg...cant get enough Never had any issues myself, just super healthy plants - but obviously I cant speak for others... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it man, if it gets your humidity up and doesn't cause issues then it's all good. The beauty of this hobby is everyone has their own methods. That variety of methods to experiment with is what makes it exciting.....for me anyway! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me more about the foliar spray, is it something you make up yourself or off the shelf? I'm interested in using it, if nothing else to feel like I'm doing something rather than looking in the tent every 10 minutes thinking I should be doing something then realising there's actually nothing to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) I wouldn’t want to with fans in there , either take it out spray it put it back in or turn fans off and do it , don’t want water mist biting that light , the fans spread it everywhere , Edited July 2, 2020 by Psilocybin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeroG Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 @BudJIts a seaweed wet compost for the want of a better description. Kelp, collected form the beach, rinsed thoroughly, chopped up, slung in a 45L container with the top chooped off, but kept as a lid, let the kelp completely disintergrate, and stink to hight heaven, thats it...pure kelp. takes about 3 months. I collect the water off the summer house so its rainwater and kelp, I also dont clean away the algae. 100ml - 1L,,,all day, every day, right up to last 2 week flowering...then you havew to get the rh on track etc You can buy it for £10-15 a litre online Or you can look up a 'kelp fields' map online, go to the beach for the day and come back with a bag...works in hydro, coco (which is hydro as well) soil, whatever as its foliar...no need to ph, just spray all day baby, The seaweed does all kind of shit, like deep spiritual shit with the weed. Makes them more tolerant to heat/dry, disease, temp fluctuations, airbourne pests, you name it...its fucking superfood for weed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BudJ Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 @Psilocybin How far away is the light mate? Hard to tell from the pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) Its around about a meter I would say... I just brought it down to around 80cm , hoping should be around about right Edited July 3, 2020 by Psilocybin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeroG Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Is that the lowest setting and a meter away? That might me a little far way/too few umols lol. Have tou got a lux meter? Its not exact, but the lux count can help determine the distance. I had probs with my ufo led, got one of those and it keeps me in the sweet spot. £20 from amazon and theres cheaper ones, but it needs to be at lesast semi-relaible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok so you're at 60w/100cm - I did 80w/40cm for the first week and as far as I can tell it hasn't fucked her up. Now at 120w/40cm. Pic below from today. Based on that experience, and to be fair it's the only experience I have being my first grow with any light, I would say you can get them closer if you want. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) She Looking happy ^ So with that said baring in mind the one in question is a 300w , So id say where I have It is about right then (currently 80cm) I guess would make sense that you can get away with moving it closer since it’s smaller sized light correct me if I’m wrong tho are you going to run it’s entire life using the 200w , or just using it to start them ? You might of said already my bad if you did Edited July 3, 2020 by Psilocybin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might of said already my bad if you did Cheers man, I hope she is You might want to start a diary in the LED grow section and get opinions from more experienced growers. I'll be using the 200w Attis for the entire grow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
