I have a Procyon and a lightblaze 400 and if I get my PPM above 500 I start to get N spots on the ends of my fan leaves and that's on 4 1/2 week old veg plants in a drip hydro set up. At week 5 I flower 16" to 18" plants from clones. If I keep the PPM at around 400 to 450 the plants love it and that's also keeping the LED's 20" away. I have been doing the same strain for about 4 years now and veging under HID 15" to 18" away I can slam the PPM up to 1,100 by 4 1/2 weeks with out one spot on them. So my experience so far is plants under high powered LED's do not like a lot of food. Don't get me wrong it's a good thing but it's something to keep in mind. To make a long story short I use half the strength of nutrient and it works awesome. LOL

I like jorge cervantes too and have that book as well but my two favorites are probably

1. Cannabis Grow Bible by Greg Green
2. Marijuana Botany by Robert Connel Clarke
3. cdot.

oops thats three......

it so happens that i too have those three books, in fact, i have 'Marijuana Botany by Robert Connel Clarke' as a word document if anyone wants it.

and sorry to hear things aren't going so well, i'm sure you'll work it out, your first log proved how able you guys are.

thanks bozo....and dogz...you sir are correct, I definitely learned that i was using too much fert in the last grow...maybe there is a co-relation between LEDs, and needing less nutes...soooo.....

ALAS!!! an experiment shall be born...i will use my new procyon to grow out the "control" plants...and the 3 light grow area for nutes...
any suggestions?..outlines of experiment? i was thinking 8 plants in 1 gal pots under the single light....NO nutes, I wont even use FFoF on these...just a soil mix and perlite....little lime for Ph control...
and in the big room...I'll do 3 varying levels of nutes...sound good..imput please

Sorry about that. Maybe we can get stinky to remove that post. But you deserve it man....They are good people over there..

[SnSstealth]

no problem dogz...no need for a whipe....they are awesome people....he just didnt wanna bunch of people askin for freebies that didnt do shit...we did spend $1800 with them too...lol...As a company, I hold their ethics in high regard, as well as the product...they never told us they would give us anything till after LED1...so our appreciation of the product was genuine, and we honestly did probably sell alot of those lights for them....they said thank you, and I really appreciated it...It will now be the star of another experiment!!!

edit: and while it wasn't ground-breaking, with a few tweaks, I am pretty sure ours is the most successful LED ganja grow...So obviously, they did something right with their light
