Have any of you grown with LEC/CMH lamps yet? I keep seeing these maxi bright 600w CMH bulbs advertised, theyre for a standard magnetic ballast with E40 fitting but theyre 100 quid a pop, would like to know what sort of results they give before waxing 200 on a couple lol. Surely 600w cmh would be better than 600w HPS? Ive no experience with CMH so glad to listen to any advice on these
I live in a hard water area too, my tap water ec is around 0.7 so unless you use a reverse osmosis filter (i wouldnt bother) youll want to use a nutrient line which is designed for Hard Water. I use Plant magic range, good value and for hard water, with great results. You shouldnt need to use a cal/mag supplement with hard water as it already contains plenty of this.
That 7.3 reading is your PH mate, not your EC lol. You dont need to supplement with cal/mag at all, if anything hard water areas have too much of it.
Buy yourself an ec meter like a bluelab truncheon to get a clear picture of how much nutrients are going into your girls each watering. Its kind of important.

Cool. Well keep us posted.
Aye, I work from home anyway. Everything on phone or laptop. The first 2 weeks was crazy. Was busy as fuk then lost about 20k in new business since all the companies put hiring freezes on (really bad having to tell folk they aren't starting that great job they thought they were....ffs, soul destroying for then. Then the core people who work for me is reduced by about 30%. Clients just letting go of freelancers/external workers. Now its dead, loads of projects on hold, so just bits of admin really.
We've definitely not had it as shite as the UK though.
No mate, i dont know what nutes youre using or anything about what your doing so relax it might be fine lol. What system have you got going on? what medium you using, what size tent, what lamps etc

I have been using cmh 315w's for a while. definitely cooler than a 600hps. you can get DE630w cmh ballasts as well and i have heard good things about them. you can grow decent weed with the 315s. I have been mixing my 315s with 600w hps but I think this summer I'll swap out the 600 for another 315w.
i have the Phillips 315w as well as lumateks 315w bulbs. Seem ok to me.

Alright and good morning Brits!
Cant believe I just found the UK contingent on here.
Not that it matters too much but am down bottom end of the island (Devon!) currently looking over a very calm channel smoking my last BBXXL
Have a great day folks...
Btw I don't know if offer is still going but I 'registered' a few weeks ago for a freebie from Seedstockers...
Well fuk me it turned up today, figured a Spanish company wouldn't likely send freebies and esp not to UK, but sure as shit: a BCN critical xxl auto landed.
Thank you seedstockers for not forgetting us Brits.
Enjoy your days folks.

Sambo, Rambo, he has been called a lot of things on RIU lol....those are avatar names though. You would need to ask him what his real name is yourself. If you rub the side of a vodka bottle he sometimes appears on the thread
I REALLY hope he is called Sam....
Lol

Accomplish hmm.
I've been putting these lot off for the last few days so decision time.
Water or get my arse moving to chop these.
Something is really telling me to chop because the extraction fan fucked up this morning and the tent was blown up like a giant balloon stinking to high heavens. RH had shot up to 82%. Have got it lower using a replacement fan but I do need to chop.
Yhey are 9 weeks all with milky trichs with splashes of amber so that's fine with me but can't be fucking arsed.
Tomorrow my accomplishment will be concluded I hope.
