weird : how you like the fluence lighs? i see LEd are finally coming down in cost enough to consider...
looking real good. been scared to jump to led, always worried ill be getting the wrong ones lol. seems most of the good grows i see here are made with self made or self assembeled versions. what are those called you are using? what about 315cmh in comparison?
Thanks.
Those are fluence 2i. They are meant to be 1000w DE replacements. They run at 630 watts each when turned up to 100%. I have them on full power. So total wattage is 1890.
Previously I ran 1300-1600 watts in that room of DE, past that the heat was problematic. I averaged about a gram per watt.
FWIU I haven't replicated it yet personally with enough consistency to report as accurate BUT LED should give a minimum of 1.2 - 1.5 watt per gram all things equal.
I know others have gotten this result and I trust it to be accurate but this is the first time I am using just LED to grow a complete run.I have a 400 watt spectrum king on a mover for my veg.
Things should finish faster too from what I understand. Will keep the updates going.

Hi all --- been scouring the forums for info on organic soil and it's reuse...
Can someone clarify a few points on soil 'cooking' (i will have about 50 gallons to reuse and I live in an apartment with a balcony that gets sun all afternoon):
- Ideal environment to 'cook' soil (temperature / sunlight)
- Covered or uncovered? Need for drainage in container?
Thanks for the help and sorry if it's been posted (there's a LOT of pages to sift thru )
- How much of the old roots need to be removed?
