Tent number 2 back on track.

As since i switched to LED i spend more time in veg and yield seem also a little lower in average than with the HPS i start having hard time not running out of weed between two harvest.

So i have decided to bring back to life my second tent with a 250W CFL dual spectrum i had under the belt to start new seeds and first few weeks of veg  before the main tent is finished.

I m not planning to run the two tents full time just starting seeds for 2-4 weeks before the other tent is finished. that should be enough not to be borderline with my stock between each harvest.

    • not sure which led you are using but something I discovered is I had mine way too far away. even when I checked before with a meter and it seemed alright. but really I was several inches away from the prime spot it seems. looking for better outcomes down the road. i have also seen a difference between lights. the xs series definitely gets them frostier and the new AC light also seems to be a light they are liking. my older p series is noticeably lacking but still does the job just slower. and the ks also does a good job and the plants like it too, but closer, much closer than i thought. but that's where the plants want it to be and they are loving it. so maybe there's a distance issue with your led? But if electric was cheap I would be using my HPS.

      • I struggled with the height until I got the app, the LED's these days will fry a plant faster than a HPS

        • No issue with LED height it's just growth rate is slower in veg with the LED than with the HPS.

          If i hadn't heat with the HPS all years long i would probably switch back from LED to HPS but temperature is too hot in my tent all year long and in summer they literally fry under the HPS

        • That’s how it starts Vince when you have both running full time you will need a third tent for sproutlets haha

              • What media do you grow in? For me in coco coir more than 4 weeks in veg and I am in a jungle,  3 weeks in the RDWC is the same problem

                • enriched soil, but as said it's just since both my friend and me switched to LED from HPS we both observed a slower growth rate in veg with LED than with the HPS

                  • I am sure it depends on what LED's you run but give coco coir a try if you want faster growth

                  • i had a 400 watt hps 4 flowering then got these led's and led's blow the hps away but i can't say that's fare and these lights i have now "hlg" r great light's  and growing my first grow n coco sucks watering ever day but they r very happy and sucking up the rays .... u know when u have three tents and at least 8 plants with different needs that's a lot of work keeping things streight ......

                    • yeah i m happy with the flowering and calyx swelling with LED but growth rate in veg sucks compared to HPS

                      • hehe, well all i see is me having enough to smoke without running out between each harvest. And i m nearly good as is with one tent but stock are sometime bordeline since i switched to LED, having in average one or two weeks more veg and yield also being a little smaller in average with LED than with HPS

                        with my current consumption rate just need to gain a few weeks in between each harvest.

                        Also once done with the veg of new seedling i may grow some others plant than cannabis in the second tent, thing like coriander basilic etc ... that i move to the kitchen windows for a few weeks when starting new seeds.

                        should do that for 6 month a year and during winter i may install back my hps and do two cannabis grow with the HPS.
