Re: First grow and first diary
Cheers Keeno, so the entire experiment of using 1 of each lights won’t actually be making the distance after all sadly :(Keeno wrote:Thats a room full Tom. Nice work mate.
Made a new thread this morning explaining why “changing lights” or something similar if you wanna have a look
Maybe on the next run will I see the full journey

Re: First grow and first diary
Heatwave in the UK today perhaps surpassing 28 degrees
My lights go off at 11am but just to be safe I have unplugged the HPS and thrown an LED in there instead and just whacked them both (2 x leds) on 75%
No oil filled radiator plugged in for the lights off period either until perhaps Monday when the weather looks like returning to cooler temps
I’m almost there guys and don’t intend to bake my girls now!!!!

Re: First grow and first diary
I don't there are many grooms under 30c on these hot days. Try not to panic as it's gets hot. There are "ideal" ranges, and "realistic ranges".

Re: First grow and first diary
Swapped the HPS out for another LED due to the heatwave here last couple of weeks but I do believe the side on the left which was under HPS from the beginning do look the best
Be interested to see what you more experienced guys and gals think looking at them

Re: First grow and first diary
30c is my max, I use portable 11000BTU / 1 ton AC once I hit 30c ..... I don't live in the uk so have to deal with much higher temps and a longer summer, I run at night, dumping hot air outside and dragging in cold air from outside via 2 seperate chimneys, point being I've not yet needed my AC & hopefully will only need to use it for 4-8 weeks. Maybe you can do something similar.
As you said unfortunately can't really tell from the photos but look forward to next updates and final weigh in, interested to see if those LEDs are any good.

Re: First grow and first diary
End result is in guys and I harvested 18 ounces from the 8 girls
I’m very happy with that but I know that’s some way short of what is achievable and my guy down the shop said it must of been very deceiving as some of the nugs were massive and colas and o could definitely be hitting more in that size space with only a few girls in there?
All a learning curve and through some pretty hot weeks too
Hand on heart I think maybe LED lights are for a much more advanced grower and also maybe my recipe isn’t the best?
Thoughts please guys and gals and thank you all so much for your comments and following along the way I know I have been a pain with so many dumb ass questions pmsl
Peace out guys
Tom

Re: First grow and first diary
Not the best numbers I agree... but you didn't kill your plants & you made it to harvest, that's not a bad start after a long break from growing. Dont think its your equipment... just need to level up your skills with more experience & you'll hit the numbers over next few grows. Congrats enjoy your smoke mate.
