i'M HAVING A PROBLEM. this is second set of seedlings to get week stemed and limp. I can't seem to get right and i resemble that remark. i was using the led light for germination and tried to carry it in to vegging. maybe it was the fact i didnt have any cfl's or mh's or hps lights in addition? I now have an old chandelier that has 3 2700k cfl's in it in addition to the led. is it necessary to have both the 2700 and 6500 k cfl's at same time?

6500k for vegging 2700k for flowering. You can use both for either its just more efficient that way.

Just starting and need to keep it within a 2'x2'x3' tent. This is with hopes of 2-4 oz per grow cycle. Could I achieve this within this space if I only used a shallow (9" tall) 10gal tote with either one or two plants with the intention of doing a single scrog? In beginning I'd start small and just do one plant. Thanks.

Yes this sounds very doable. I am currently running four 5 gallon dwc buckets in my 4×4×6 tent and am hoping for 12-14 oz. If all goes well

Just my 2cents. I have lost power for hours and not had my plants die in dwc. Now... Longer than several hours and Im sure they would be drowning. Ive been thinking about one of those computer Battery backups for my air pumps to prevent this possibility... losing power for a few hours wont kill them but a full on pump failure or kinked air line are death if not caught in time. I am way more worried about pump failure... I think the idea of a redundant back-up pump is great.

I use a UPS model backup for that very reason
