I’m running a 1000 HPS in the room/(no tent). If I try to take a photo w/iPhone when that light is on, these vertical charcoal shaded bars show up in the picture - weird!? These pics were taken no more than 2 mins before the HPS clicked on. The light used for the photos only is just a shop clip light. Trust me, all 4 are vibrantly lush green. My humidity level is running between 48-58% RH thanks to a humidifier unit. I have 2 oscillating fans at opposite sides moving the air under & over growth really well inside room. Exhaust fan to outside world and intake fan for incoming air both triggered by combo humidity/temperature atmospheric controller. As for nutes, these gals are growing in Ocean Forest after starting their life w/Happy Frog. It’s my understanding they will not really need additional nutes until later on in Bloom stage using OF which seems to be correct advice. When I first started out growing 25+ yrs ago I lived in Humboldt County CA. I had a small sea of green grow in a spare bedroom. So many advancements since then! Just started again in MO. and I’m trying to learn these new methods and gearing up for my first SCROG ever. A huge kind THX to all for the help here! ![]()

Yep - you got this all covered up!! But wait to you try LED lights and Deep Water Culture - I never went back to playing in the dirt.
Yes, future plans… after a long hiatus I just wanted to get up and running again as soon as possible w/a system that was within my budget. And of course you’re always over budget. ![]()

@IKnowURider
What LED setup are you using or would recommend?
I recommend kingbrites
HLG are the most popular on this forum though
The camera issue is normal, you need to take you pictures after turning off grow light and your flash on for a second though.
Don’t take pictures with grow lights on it makes it impossible to leaf read.
@Nicky
Understood, thx.
Ya, will turn on flash for future pics…
I’ll look into those kingbrites too and have noticed HLG is revered by most here. ![]()
I’ve use 1 for veg and then double it up for flower… I have used to 2 grows now - love the results. Very reasonably priced. MAGLONG 2020 Upgrade M2000 Led Grow Light - with Samsung LED Chips & Mean Well Driver, Quantum Board Plant Grow Lights and Dimmable Function
If you can afford and HLG - I dont see why not to get one. I think Spider Farmer runs a close second to HLG in my humble opinion - just from experience. They don’t have the newest version of the samsung LEDs - but they are inexpensive and man do they stimulate growth with a fraction of the heat from HPS.
@IKnowURider
I like that the HLG have some varieties of assemble yourself LED’s at a more reasonable price. Making the connections correctly would be my biggest concern. Watching the videos on YouTube it seems pretty simple .
Then I’d go for the HLG. Lot’s of folks have used for many grows and the light seem to last - re: potency of light distributed… The price of LEDs have really come down and they are so easy to use and very little fire hazard…
Thx man, I do plan and look fwd to making the switch to LED down the road. Just gotta save up. ![]()
