My flower box has been running in the triple digits for the past couple of weeks and the plants are fine. Probably not quite as good as they would be with a more ideal environment but I don't have the ability to modify it much so I and the plants just ride it out.
Chris, I use those big fans down low to show me things too, including when water is needed!Happy Sunday everyone, the girls looked happy at lights on. The drink of water I gave em yesterday afternoon helped a lot. When I checked on them yesterday afternoon all the big lower leaves were drooping way down.most of my past grows I was an over-waterer I think I've become an under-waterer. In big containers it's hard to tell an lifting them is beyond my capabilities, the dip stick works ok but can damage roots if I get to close the center near the stalk. These plants I've tried leaving the big fan leaves on the lower half of the plant. They get really droopy when the container is dry or the plant wants water. it seem to be working for now. 90 degrees at lights on this morn.
I guess it's a case of container envy, I see all these others with 10 15 gal containers. lol the honest answer is I just figured bigger container bigger plant. I had planned on growing one plant this grow and veg three months an grow horizontaly that way I could start flower in September rath than August. But things hardly ever go as planed
Container envy?!
breaking old men 
There's definitely a notable difference in the HPS vs. LED. Is there much difference in the light bill?found this pic from 2014 ish I think. damm the HPS was so much more effective
but it is a reason none the lest. lol I've been injureing myself since I was a kid. I've had lots of falls but I kinda like a cat mixed with a hippopotamus I either land on my feet or bounce. I'm joking I'm always careful it's almost like I have a sixth sense almost like a common sense that ppl should have, again I jokeContainer envy?!
I'm sorry Chris, but that's a lousy reason for risking serious harm to your back. If you screw your back up badly enough you could be limited to solo cups or 1 gallon pots for your plants. Then you'll really know container envy!
It's Sunday morning and I seem to have jumped into preacher mode. My bad.
Just be careful, dude.
Betty page ! ok I may have been a bit naughty an need to learn...
the LED average about $19 a month over the 16/8 -12/12 the 2 400 Watt HPS added close to a $100 month. but I was working then and living high off the hog, now I'm eating spam and to make it even worse it's low sodium... lol
Yes
ok.... how ?
