Pretty sure he meant pots, call me crazy, but I didn't see mention of pellets. Though I do think peat pellets are for shit, they seem to stay wet forever, and don't work well for rooting cuts. I'd advise anyone to stay away from them if you can.Quote:

Side note, in lieu of running the second HPS I invested in a second LED bar so I can run the two side by side. I'm curious to see how it plays out. Definitely can tell that the watering schedule needs to be backed off with LED, I'm used to much higher temps and quicker drying pots. MUST let them completely dry out, no exceptions.
Here's a couple of pics from today.
wow do those look healthy or what?! Very nice.
haha ya sorry man im an idiot. reread it right after.. your shit does look fkn gravy tho:thumbsup:Quote:

Il be in touch man:rasta:
I don't know if I'll do an all LED run or not. Hard to say, maybe I'll be convinced to try after this run. I have always loved my HPS and that's a love affair I don't want to give up on, it's always treated me very well. I'm just interested to see what the combination does in flower.Quote:

No harm done though and girls loved thier new homes, no signs of stress at all, which I am more than positive was due to not having to disturb them during the transplanting. I'd certainly use peat pots again!
The grow is looking good :thumbsup: LEDs are getting more and more popular during grows be it part grow of complete grow using them. Always nervewracking moving out of your own comfort zone though! Some day I might try the LEDs, as I do like the results you guys are getting, but I'll wait a while until I'm not such a novice....practice makes perfect as they say ;)
Keep on keeping on :rastasmoke:
Holy Pink Panther son. The LED's are lookin proper and those girls look sooo lush. Cant wait to try. :rastasmoke:
