I'm spending lots of time just staring at my plants. They're growing so fast now. I'm adding root stimulator to the water and lower the PH level of the water to 6,5 with lemon juice. I read somewhere that using lemon juice is less effective on the long run than phosphoric acid. If anyone has more info about this, please leave a comment. Used iron spray on a weekly basis to keep the leaves green and healthy My Spectrabox Pro 4s light has a flux density of ~ 400 µmol s/m² and a max power consumption of 240 watts which I think is a bit small for my 90x90 cm tent. I researched for days and finally bought the Hans Panel 180w to accompany the other led. I'm loving this thing so far. For 250 euros you have a a panel with strictly high quality Cree diodes, a dimmer (great for germination and saving energy in early stage) and a bloom switch for extra red + deep red LEDs. The panels are developed by Hans himself, you can see mutiple test grows where pulls 1,2 from every watt here: http://www.ledgrow.eu/test19.php Total flux density is 1140 µmol s/m² now which is comparable to a 600watt HPS. My total power consumption in flowering will be: 240 watt led + 180 watt led + 15 watt exhaust fan + 5 w eco fan in room = 440 watt Compare this to a 600w hps setup: 600 watt HPS + 70 ballast + 60 watt powerfull exhaust fan + 10 fan = 740 watt total So the LED setup uses 63% of a HPS setup. This means less money spent on electricity, less fire hazard, longer lifespan of LED's, etc.

A lot of good information here. You are high with your lighting levels though and too close with your fixture. Aim for about 100 umol. in veg. until they are ready to take some more when you have a full canopy. ie. the leaves are tending to reaching for the light, not drooping. Good luck with your grow. You are off to a nice start.

@Mr_Positivo, "this problem shows you what was happening in your garden back then" this is a very good point, I removed 2 plants from the room couple weeks ago and they too showed signs, so I wondered how that was possible. Here's my answer :)

@GeorgeMaas, No problem. These leaves are weeks old so this problem shows you what was happening in your garden back then. You may have fixed it by now. Monitor closely the new growth along with the condition of the existing leaves showing symptoms. Hold plants up to light, back lighting the leaves will show you tips and stripes in its early stages. Leaf color should be perfectly even. cheers and good luck, bud.

Hey GM, If your leaves were suffering from too much light they would not be reaching they way they are. They look absolutely beautiful and vigorous so clearly something about what you are doing is on point. Take a closer look at your nute regime or soil make up to find the source of your problem. Check your ppm's. If I was growing in coco, I would be in the 450 range. Hope this helps. Cheers.

@GeorgeMaas, leaves that have been exposed to too much light look a lot like leaves that have been overwatered. Its not always easy to tell from the outside. The leaves droop but also they curl under like a taco and narrow down in their profile and they miniaturize. I don't think you have any of these problems. Most growers will tell you plants with leaves praying is the state you want your plant to be in. Keep up the good work.

@Mr_Positivo, thanks for the reassurement :) I read that leaves can also turn heavily upwards when there’s too much light (to minimize the light surface) I might just started a bit too late with feeding the plants while in vegging. With the minimal amount of heat I have, it probably also means the plants are watered less because of less evapouration, which also means less nutrients. Next grow I’ll start feeding in an earlier state. I can see a big difference in the amount of buds thats developing between the healthy and less healthy plants (will upload photos tonight) thanks again :)

Looking lovely, GM. It's going to be fun watching your grow. Pulling up a chair, as they say.
