Why are you growing poinsettas?

Looks good so far, are those green spots in the purple photo areas that don't get light?

the photos are looking amazing.. i have been a silent follower of your grow for a while now..
i want to do a super simple 3 small plant in a cupboard and have been thinking led the whole way... nothing professional and serious.. just a few fun plants at home.. i was thinking about the ebay special and had wondered if anyone had tried this yet... 225led's .. 12in by 12in panel.. 110V and a mix of red and blue... i know it is nothing fancy but do you think it would do the trick? also.. if there is somewhere on here (SO MUCH) that has these answers.. please kick me in that direction
thanks everyone!!!!!
ps- i have not blazed in over 4 weeks now for a upcoming drug test so this is all real painful for me to think about.. haha

no opie...green spots in the grow room, are from my flash...kinda cool effect....savannah....ty and DO NOT go for the ebay special...we tried those, plants fail bad...maspino had a thread using them too.....you get what you pay for with LEDs. either get the procyon, (i know, expensive), or talk to physicsnole and opie yutts, they can help you in building a set up of quality LEDs.

thankas for the interest everyone

I'd tend to agree with Opie about ph fluctuations and/or fert build up in your soil. I'd check the soil ph if I were you.....are you checking the ph of your water?

Like Opie says....it seems quite minor....but those things sure can spread in a hurry so watch it very carefully. Those plants REALLY looking stunning......and naturally you want to keep them that way.

Hi,

I have watching this thread too and am excited by the great results! I was experimenting with Swiss Miss in a greenhouse trying for a winter crop. I started about the same time you did we were having about 10 hours of sunlight temps were on the cold side but no frost using foxfarm. Your plants are easily twice the size of mine.

Hey stealthy crew...just wondering if you'd figured out your electric billz for these bad boys. I'm guessing somewhere around 15-20 bucks per month for the three lights?

Still looking amazing...email me a bowl when they're done please.:smokebong:

[SnSstealth]

thanks for the kind words all.......WH thanks for the advice, testing the Ph later today...got one of those stick reading analog meters that do moisture, lumens, Ph...blah blah....found out the Ph test isnt simply stick n read...lol, gettin to it today, deciphering the directions...hope thats it....hasnt gotten any worse since i trimmed fan leaves and flushed...testing Ph anyway....harvest should be around beginning of may...dunno with the cross...maybe late apr or mid may....ill let the girls tell e when they are ready

Not Mg def... we should all be able to recognize that by now: Mg def presents as REGULAR STRIPES between veins.

That's K def, textbook. You have it as a lockout coming from soggy, acidic soil conditions.

You are using pots with built-in drip trays I'll bet, and as a result, both drainage and the ability of oxygen to get at teh root zone are greatly impacted, resulting in soggy soil and reducing/anaerobic conditions. Ph is probably dropped out of range too by the looks of things.

Rip off the drip trays, drill additional holes in the sides of the pot, flush with pH'd water, water with a grow fert at 1/4 strength plus some Serenade if you have it (those conditions are perfect for fungus).

sweet....thanks stinky
