To be honest my current grow log is my 4th grow in my life, I had one indoor (HPS) and one balcony grow in Germany many moons ago and now I have finished one LED grow, I have an outdoor this year and I have started my second LED grow now. So I guess that 5 grows in all. I just enjoy reading about growing weed and I love it as a hobby. Everything I know came from books, DVDs, YouTube, blogs, websites and threads like this one. I don't know much about a lot of things but we are always learning I guess. I'm just thankful that I have met so many helpful people over the past few years, and wise ones too !

Since you started using the flowering nutes the leaves started curling ? Maybe the PH has dropped. Check the PH level and if its low then you could add some lime to it to bring it back up. Or buy the PH up/down in the grow shops. There might also be a chance that the roots are getting too hot. Maybe check that too.

My friend didn't get any visits from the cops so far. She got it in the first week of April. I think she would have had a visit by now. I think it depends on the customs officer, if they decide to report you or not. I don't think the Gardai are interested in regular guys and gals who just want to grow their own quietly. I would say that they would prefer to spend that energy focusing on the crime gangs who sell million of Euros worth of contaminated weed to kids on the streets. I think a drug should be classified not only by how addictive it can be, but by the damage it can do to individuals, families and communities within the said society. Laws and Gardai are in place in society to keep the people safe, without judges and police the veneer of our highly developed, sophisticated society would soon fade and we would live in a very different, violent world. We would be far from collaborative !

Anyway... I digress... I'd say go for the light. If you have someone you know who could buy it for you and who lives somewhere else then get them to do it. If the cops call to them 2 months later they can tell them that the light broke down, they got no refund and was dumped... Simples

The lights use 1/3 the power of the equivalent HID lighting. You can read all about it on the website. My light uses just 190w of power and is compared to a 600w HID. But even if it turned up the same results as a 400w then I'm still winning with a 50% saving...

You can buy the lights here : Hydroponics Hut dot com.

Good luck with it, you are the second person going down the route of LED today Welcome to the LED community
