End of the third week, everything was going well, I had a problem with over fert in one of the plants, she crashed, I made a flush and it's back to normal. Anxious for flora. Very good growth so far.
I've seen you mention the Lec lights a few times, so I'm wondering what your new light is? Brand, model, power, Heat buildup etc. Good buds. Good luck Sorry if I missed it in previous weeks
@Loserofthemonth, hi buddy, yes I am using only the 315w, with 18/6 of light schedule. For ventilation I'm using a 150mm exhaust fan with two speed options 30w and 60w, but I only use the 30w option And a 150mm 30w power Intractor. It works well for the tent space, on very hot days I use the 60w power option on the hood, this keeps the temperature inside the tent around 26 degrees. Standing outside the tent at around 25/28 degrees. I hope I helped friend.
@Melloganja,, wow great detailed answer. I'm in , my lights are tripple chipped led's and really bright but the heat from 4 600's is more than 8 fans and an inline exhaust will handle. But that's what it took to get the amount of light needed to grow. So if I am going to leave an opening in the top of the tent I might as well get a better light setup. The 4 600s draw 580 combined from the wall so i could maybe save and have a better light situation. Final question are you running just the one 315. I looked at a 630 yesterday after I saw your grow. I think we are both in 4ร4 tents. If you are just running one that is exceptional.
@Loserofthemonth, what's upp buddy, thanks for asking about the Lec lamp.
It's a Solux Pro Selecta 315w with a lamp of 3100k color.
Kit with the latest lighting technology applied to indoor marijuana crops, LEC or Light Emitting Ceramic, also called CMH or Metal Halide Ceramic.
They are lamps superior to the typical ones sodium vapor lamps and even LEDs and LEPs (plasma), it is equivalent to a 600w sodium equipment, with
energy savings of almost 50% and a reduction 50% of the heat emitted.
LEC grow lights are similar to a
metal halide (MH), but instead of using quartz use a ceramic arc tube, very similar to what used in sodium vapor grow lights
(HPS). This is why they are often called "halides of ceramic metal ". The great advantages are that they have
a higher range of light spectrum, emit a natural m65 color, produce m65 light per watt, and last plus.
The match for these LEC lamps is Bi-Din. The socket of these LEC lamps is Bi-pin, a
Difference from typical E-40 HM and HPS lamps and they work with different ballasts as well.
Ceramic metal halide lights
produce UV-B rays like the sun, which contributes to the
increased development of trichomes and terpenes in
marijuana buds, in addition to producing a natural spectrum of light that allows plants to be seen
full color, unlike LEDs or HPS that
distort the color, so it is also m65
easy to diagnose problems with the lights more artificial spectrum. Ultraviolet light emission beneficial and far red, increases yields in a spectacular way. Be surprised by the low consumption
and the enormous returns it achieves.
