Yes, indeed, everyone is different. Most people need to fight humidity in their tents and don't feed at night. Also, there's no photosynthesis happening and the plants don't really drink at night. The leaves don't sweat. Most common is to feed during the daylight hours starting when the light turns on. That's when the plants start feeding and absorb water.

Perlite content shouldn't really matter in coco growing since it's not needed. The coco works better without it.

Plants Do Math
Yes, it sounds a little silly, doesn’t it? Plants don’t have brains, so how can they do math? Well, they might not do it like humans do, but they do have to calculate how much food they can safely eat before the next sun-up.

Their chemical calculator tells them how much energy they stored that day and divides that amount by how long the night might be. Therefore, they can use portion control to ensure that they don’t run out of energy before the next day.

This little-known fact was discovered by biologists from the England John Innes Centre. They found out that plants do have a biological process, allowing them to divide up their stored energy. This means plants don’t have a problem with portioning out their reserves at night, ensuring that they can continue to grow.

You know that plants make the food during the day and burn it off at night. Their calculations are extremely precise, as well. Plants won’t starve themselves by using all their energy at once, and they can make more efficient use of the food they do have.

The issue is that if the plants use their food too quickly, they won’t grow and could starve or die. However, the second part of that is that if they use their stored food too slowly, they waste it.

Do u think I should come down 2 400w ?

 

[Ruff303]

Mh that’s meant to say

 

[NuttyProfessor]

in veg to keep the cost and heat down these are pretty cool . no heat plenty of light

 

[NuttyProfessor]

cost pennies to run , 300 watt cost about 2p an hour ive 3 CFL and 2 t5s for seedlings , you will save a lot on energy and heat

I have one but it’s weak as hell won’t cover 6 plants in 20 l pots I don’t think , what wattage would I need for it to cover do your think ?

 

[NuttyProfessor]

one covers loads , this is an example

 

[NuttyProfessor]

mine covers four in big pots so you need 2 at 300w would be loads

set your pots over a barrel or some tub if you want to catch it to reuse or is it to dump ?
