I know it's not the lights that's making them look so bad. I was being sarcastic. all of them look the same. they're all tiny underdeveloped buds about the size of a thumb. yet people are chiming in saying that XXXX light is clearly in the lead. or XXXX light is catching up. or those lights are clearly costly trash. it's all crap yet people are trying to use them to justify one of these lights as being the best. even though the lights aren't to blame none of them looks good based on this comparison grow.

Yeah I do apologize its taking so long.. lol. I usually mess with Hydro but went soil for the sake of the comparison and harvesting perpetual to a fair amount of runs through in a timely manor. My buddy suggested the Dyna-Gro full line as the easiest route.. and then I have a good amount of extra additives from AN that I use and added to the regiment. I just failed to check for the presence of every element in the regiment and I was suggested to use and I payed for it.

Once the 2nd round's little bit of calcium deficiency is corrected Ill send them into flower. It wont take very long at all; I want to make sure this is done right this time.

Don't apologize to anyone...........It's your grow, do whatever the f@ck you want.....
You spent 4 grand on lights and are willing to share their performance on the net to us deciding on light purchases or justifications of those purchases....
either way your the one with the "light bill' so we are in for the ride...........happy growing and be safe :)

I just use tap water once a week for calcium, just let it stand overnight to evaporate any chlorine off and put in a sprinkling of Epsom Salts, not telling anyone how to grow, that's just what I do growing in soil or especially coco an I don't have any problems at all. I noticed that someone asked WeJuana how he knew it was Calcium def. Well this is a great page with photos off all MJ plant problems, have a look http://www.marijuana-seeds.net/Thanks-ThankYou.htm

Im using a zero waste kit on the RO system so it pumps the waste RO to the hot water heater. We also have a water softener, so I am weary of using our water out of the tap.

Yep I understand, too many salts from a water softener. Of course you could install a tap from the input of your water softener thereby taking off a supply before it goes into your softener system. Just once a week and this solves my calcium deficiency problem without over doing it. Too much calc though will lock out Mg ;-)

yeah your previous grows and posts are all the proof needed taking pics off other forums is extremly foolish and pathetic

i no you dont care but lying like you do is a complex disorder brought about by your disfunctional relationship with your parents and the death of a sibling i feel sorry for people like you as pharma drugs are the only thing capable of fixing the chemical imbalances in your brain an cannabis seems to only fuel the self destructive nature of such disorders

the way you act and the depth of your lies has me concerned what you might be doing irl

i hope you seek the help you need before you end up in a situation you may regret people like your are the reason for medical patient disclaimers

my 2 cents on nutes for LED plants (apologies if I've already mentioned in this thread but it's going on 90 pages now!). I'm a fox farms man, and have found using Bush Dr. Microbe Brew the whole way through combined with every other watering doses of calmag plus all the way through, along with FF Tiger Bloom at the first signs of flowering, and Cha-Ching the last two weeks combined with a Sledgehammer flush has worked very well in my garden.

This is basically the same formula I was using with HPS but had to add more cal mag plus when I switched to led to avoid any def.

Sorry to see you go if thats what you decide but I tried to stop it before it got to this point. You said you didnt have to prove anything, but if you followed through and did NOT respond to these people you dont know over the net, then they wouldn't keep going with it. Actions speak louder than words, you have to decide you actually don't care and stop the bickering. Let the comments roll off like rain and don't respond.

They obviously lack something in their life, or just have the luxury of having enough spare time to make demeaning comments which will in no way benefit them. I on the other hand do not have time to pull my doctorate out and break everything down, nor is this the place for it.

Lets keep it growing oriented please, I ask nicely again. I do not want to feel like I am acting as a moderator to what people say. Conduct yourself like a legit growers if your on this thread or I will notify admins.

I miss the thread that used to be about led grows.

Hey Wejuana, have u used other tents or just the lighthouse? I've heard they are good quality but I have no experience with tents. Some day when I upsize my grow I was considering those. Any other suggestions ?

I have only had experience with Lighthouse Hydro tents but I SWEAR BY THEM!! I have a gate of metal sitting on the top of the tents going from tent to tent so I can hang lights in between. 2 nights ago I noticed one of gates was tilting, and upon walking in the tent, I saw it snapped the plastic corner piece holding the metal poles together in the tent. The tent was so strong the mylar and stitching held up the tent and was supporting the weight of the inline fan and the Spectra light as well. I replaced the corner and put some cardboard on the tent so there wasnt an immense amount of pressure on one spot so the piece wont break again.

I will take pix of what I am talking about tomorrow because I lent my cam out for the night.

unfortunately if you run a quick thread search on led lighting it's basically impossible to find a civil discourse on this bb, 90% of the time we wind up with pages & pages of ad homenim attacks.

Keep us informed & keep posting your results man. This is one of the best comparison threads I've read Wejuana.

Ouch, Ebay has the plastic corners. Ask me how I know.
What happens is the metal rod bows and causes stress at an improper angle. What I do is get some ridged steel tubing (electrical conduit) at home depot and double up the upper circumference of the tent to keep the metal rods from bowing.

On an entirely different topic, how are the lights doing WeJuana? What are your impressions at this stage of the grow?
