imma 50 year old personal i.e not a commercial grower, been learning by mistakes and experience, I always knew the basic stuff, but 30 yrs on, technology change, I began with LED (not great tbh), have gone to CDM Philips 315w 930 bulb, powered by Maxibright Daylight Ballast, amazing & economic, I use Canna & Coir as my medium & nutes, I use half the "sales" feed charts, as the girls let me know what they want.
I'm in the UK, London & am always looking for tips.
1 light
1m x 1m x 2m (high) tent.
I love the entire growing process.
'Pac is 1 of my idols and inspiration
One Love

Those were old, 2 crops ago, with about 4 weeks to go, the lighting has been manipulated. They look happy enough, however, the PH levels were high, I am now a proud owner of a digital tester.
The yield was low, I have learned & continue to do so.
Thank you for your response & welcome to 420, only 3 daze late lol.
I'm more confident about my methodology, also, my old LED system was not the best.
I'll start a journal, OG Gelato x 5, Himalayan Gold x 2, 6 days in.
 
Just a couple of shots, via fixed lighting lol, of day 10 of vegetative stage, They're growing great guns, won't let up till they achieve maximum pre-stretch height, internode distance, at this early time, look great.
I love growing weed.
Much Love
Matt

It's not easy to take photographs with them in situ, they do look pale, however I can assure you that the plants are healthy and very green, I didn't take them in daylight, as I am not a keen photographer, and my phone is my camera!
I'm not worried about the "pale" appearance, as in reality, the girls are happy developing as per usual at this stage.
 
Ok, I took the "looking pale" comments and acted on it, 3 were not as green as should be, solved in a couple of hours, as I'm using airpots, I decided to nute feed/flush at ph 5.7.
Ensuring that the run off was less than 6.5, in fact, it was ph exactly 5.72 (run off).
And all new growth is far greener & was already, although these ladies seem to demand nutes!
Back to 50% of "chart guides".
I'm using Canna throughout, although I do have Plant Magic "Platinum" (PK 9/18), which is a beautiful nute for the final 4 weeks of flowering, before Flushing,
I'm now grateful; confident that I've got this crop in control.
Much Love
Matt
