Why not just add perlite?So far we have 2 sprouts. I am not particularly impressed with the JAWS soil yet. It is very dark with no perlite. We shall see.
What do y'all think about Ocean Forrest or Happy frog? I was hoping to go with regular old bagged soil this grow.View attachment 19474
I am frantically getting my tent ready. What do you mean it's October. what the fuck happened to September.
I need a new light. The new viparspectre is running way hot like 130 degrees hot at 100% I went to check on my seedlings and the tent was almost 90 degrees. Any suggestions on a cheap 150 watt grow light?
I am assuming a 2x2 tent and on the budget side. Maybe Mars Hydro for less than $80?nice light. a little spendy.
it's a 2 x 4 tent. I have two viparspectra's an xs1500 pro and the previous model the xs1500, for a total of 300 watts. At full power they are both running around 130 degrees. The old one has quite a bit of variance across the board ranging from 115 to 132 the driver is a steady 130 degrees. That seems pretty hot I'm thinking it's time for a replacement set of lights.I am assuming a 2x2 tent and on the budget side. Maybe Mars Hydro for less than $80?

I've been looking at the mars hydro and spider farmer stuff. I wonder if they run cooler than the viparspectra.I am assuming a 2x2 tent and on the budget side. Maybe Mars Hydro for less than $80?

Light with a remote mounted driver to get the heat out would be nice.it's a 2 x 4 tent. I have two viparspectra's an xs1500 pro and the previous model the xs1500, for a total of 300 watts.

WHITE HAIRY SHIT - and flopage!! My quick 60 second fix will work until I can get a few stakes in there. Pipe cleaners RULE!

Yup ... the VL's and their HPS aura give the leaves a slightly yellower tone than they normally look in incandescent light. They looked greener when I had them outside of the tent doing the lollipop earlier this week. Still doing 6L per plant with pH 6.6 source water and a shitload of runoff.Are the pale leaves just an illusion from the lighting?
