If you are on city water the water contents should be on your local city page and they should have to send you this information annually.

If your home should have some sort of water filter on it anyway, you can also give Culligan a call and they will come out and test your water as they try and sell you a system.

In the US 500 is deemed un drinkable, and while 430 may seem high, if it's the right element it can be beneficial more than hurt your plants.
 
Yo DGF, I was seriously interested in purchasing the same led's you have, who is sara? You said in another thread to contact her regarding them, I just dont know who she/he is......ive been away from the forums for a year or so and am slowly catching up.

Awesome thanks for the heads up!

Yeah I figure over the long haul its probably a big savings, I am not a commercial grower or anything like that....just some for me and my wife...so saving some $ on the electric bill goes along way!

Yeah I hear that, you should follow mine and doc's grow journals pretty close, as growing with LEDs is a lot different than HPS. There's quite a learning curve, but it is very doable!
 
LED`s are definitely doable. On grow #7 with mine. Learning curve ? Only lights that I've grown under are LED`s, other experience was outdoors and not much of that. So mine was learn on the fly. Green mojo to ya and get growin`.
 
Nice, thanks for answering budz while I was out, Brix :aok:

Cheers on your LED mojo Yooper! :)


Ok, editing pictures. Update to come!

Thanks :aok:

Ok so.. I took pics this morning and checked trichs. I have about 5-10% amber. I will be chopping down Friday / Saturday, which will bring the tent to 64 days. The structure of the Cheese was insane, but surely my training and growing methods didn't help. I mean, like 50+ (easily) branches per plant... that's a little "wrong" for LED. I'll be doing 12-16 plants that are 4-6 branches total. I think that's the game plan. I really need to figure out my moms space and cloning space.. I should get another light for higher up in my tent and utilize the space above my T5's .. maybe something just to root and pre-veg clones. Small LED perhaps.

Ok pictures...

Here's the veg tent. I know, the moms are a bit yellow....but overall healthy. All my cuttings are great, no yellow and seem strong! Everything, rockwool / rapid rooter / sunshine, cloned wonderfully. First success in rapid rooters for me, and I have tried a LOT in the past. Only single thing I did different this time was.. I soaked the rooters (and rockwool) in 5.5 PH water for 30 minutes at least.

Cheese really looks very odd under LED. The callex are intense! (Beyond foxtail lol)
 
Dang, swing by the Dr's office and get a big dose of free porn! Looking killer brotha :aok:

Holy **** the ones in flower look killer! Damn good job DGF!

On another note, I noticed you chopped the tips of the leaves on some of the clones you have.. Just out of curiosity, what's the reasoning? Only wanting to know for future reference lol

Hah, thanks.. not bad, but better next time!
That is called "tipping" and what that does is (or in theory) make the plant go from a veg state, to a cloning state. Supposedly, when you "tip" the ends of the leaves, there's something that will trigger rooting and not vegging in the cutting. That way you have less of the plant attempting to veg while it lives off the water you gave it in the medium you put it in, and more of it trying to put its last processes into "rooting".

Also, if you use a tray / dome, you get better air circulations and more room around the cuts :aok:

Some people don't tip, but I swear by it!!
 
Ooohhh. That makes sense. When I start into clones, later on down the road, I'll try both ways and see what I think. Thanks for the info
 
I do think that "tipping" helps. At least I try to do it every time I clone.
 
I always tip my clones also, looking awesome as always Doc.
