Galaxy Hydro 300w 2X2ft. LED Grow (154 actual watts)

I'm thinking about getting a 24"x32"x60" tent. I'm just still wanting to stick with being stealthy, but tall enough for some Sativa's. But your grow is really good for what it is and the price you paid for it.

Are you thinking or considering getting a second LED Light to supplement more growth?

maybe you could take some small samples or just eyeball it you're getting close for sure

I was sucked in by Amazon and found myself buying one of those cheap 45w led panels, I've found it great for veg but not used it in flower as of yet, due to moving house I have had to downsize dramatically from a full 20ft long loft to a 2x2 tent.. (For now anyway).

Are you planning to use HPS for veg in the 2x2? Man, sounds like you had the perfect setup...

Thanks man! Ya, pleasantly surprised with this thing. Barely made a ding on the electric bill too

I couldn't tell ya man. I've only had small stealthy grows, but it looks great for a personal stash

Ya, I'm just going for a personal stash so it will be more than enough for me to smoke until the next crop

I do actually have another 24w Cheapo led light in there too. Think that's where I'm going to cap it, though. Don't want much more heat or electricity costs for my roommates to complain about

I bought a 45x microscope but I'm having trouble distinguishing cloudy vs clear trichs. I have a business trip planned a little less than 2 weeks away as well, so I would either need to harvest very soon or wait until after the 15th of July. Can't decide

I think your grow is AWESOME for 154 watts no matter what kind of light. Keep it going.

The plant in the 2x2 has been vegging for months now just kept her short by taking clones off her,

I have put the 600 hps in the 2x2 temps were sitting a little high this morning but when the light comes on at midnight there should be enough cold air in the loft to cool the light for the 12 hours it's on, D day will be tomorrow to find that one out!

Now the bad news..... Help! What do you guys think? Getting splotchiness like this on 3 of my plants.View attachment 3707313 Not spreading too badly yet, but it's been slowing creeping in in the past 2 weeks or so. I realize that's a hard question to answer since I haven't been checking PH, but any thoughts?

what was it?

I never found out for sure but I suspect a magnesium deficiency. Probably that I had too many ferts in the soil and it was kicking them out. Either that or a ph problem with watering. My water runs around 8.6ph so without ferts to lower the ph its been high. Didn't get my hands on a ph monitor until today though. I'm starting to flush them now though, so it doesn't really matter. They are becoming everything deficient. I'll post pics in the next day or two

How did D Day go?

D day came and went with no problems, there is enough cold air in the loft to cool the light, I have the light around 10" away from the top of the plant,

I decided to go straight on to 12/12 instead of letting her veg a week in the tent, 18 hours with a 600 blasting over her wouldn't of been very good imo.

Give us some update pics on the girls man! Somewhere on here u told me to let u know when I start my grow journal. Just started it a couple days ago when my first 3 seedlings started. Today is the 7th day after planting them and 4 popped, while one just paper towel germinated. My Mars Hydro 600 (272w) arrives tomorrow with my tent, and all my nutes, soils, etc.

I have the same issue in veg and Cali magic(cal mg) seems to be fixing it. I read that with LED a cal mag product should be used unless u have hard water. Your grow is bad ass tho especially without a ph meter lol I can't get them tru veg without one

Thanks man. Are you running an LED setup right now? I'm definitely going to buy a PH meter for my next grow. It's something I had planned to do sooner, but once things started off healthy I decided to hold off.

Nice, I'll be subbing shortly! How many seeds did it take to pop 4 initially? Very nice lighting choice. How big is the tent?

LED for veg, it was a last min kinda thing and im about to put my 300w led back in with my 400w HPS

Two of the girls in the back plus the solo cup plant. You can't tell from this angle but some of the fan leaves are starting to yellow out. Flushing them until July 15th and then harvesting
