Blue Dream in the Wilma

[Treetrunk]

Good luck il be following along, do you have the pump running constantly in the pebbles with lights on or do you have it on and off?

In veg I set the pump to come on 5 or 6 times and in flower 4 times.
First feed is an hour after lights on and last one an hour before lights off.
Each watering is 15 minute's.
In veg I'll change the tank after 10 days and in flower 6/7 days.
Once the ppm starts to creep up it's time to change the nutrients.
If you're using Salts you only need a couple of days flush at the end.
I'm thinking after last night's temperature I'll be firing up the CMH today. Whole new learning curve

Thanks for the info I’m just getting going with my first hydro grow, how come your usingg the CMH when you have the Led?

Heat is the main reason.
Unfortunately the LEDs just don't get hot enough in winter.
To be honest I even struggled with temperature during our so called summer.
I'll be back on LEDs next spring if its warm enough.

Yeah know what you mean, I’m the same need to use a radiator on a thermostat to get the heat up, was considering a hps or similar to supplement the led but then I was thinking in flower the temps would be dropping during the light out period so I figured I’d stick with the rad.

Subbed up to thread mukka. I wanna see how you go with the CMH light as well. Good luck with it.

The plants are starting to get into gear now.
Had a tank change and on 700ppm and 6.2ph.
Been topped a couple of days ago.

Bought another light for the other tent but unfortunately it's a bit big.
So now we've got a Solistek in this tent.
The light came with a 4200k bulb so that's what's in at the moment.
Thought the light was a bargain at £99

Do you think these get much hotter or not so hot as lets say a 400hps light, basically are room temps easy to control ?

Plants look good TT.

Definitely not as Hot as a 400hps.
I've got a CMH in the 80cm tent and it's at 28c. Room temp about 18c.
I tried a 400hps last year and it was getting to 33c in similar conditions.
One thing I noticed with the CMH is the buds get a real sparkle to them.
I put the CMH over a Blueberry which had been under led up to week 4 of flower. You could see the difference in 3 days.

Been doing a bit of bending and snapping. Still been using a water pump and hose to flood the pot's twice a day.
Roots are showing at the bottom so we'll just switch to drippers now.
18 litre pots so they take a bit of time.
Changing the tank today and filling with 6ph and 750ppm.
Temperature is at 27c and humidity at 50%.
