Check this out, I found a good way to start plants! It has 10 watts of LED lighting, an aerator in the reservoir, and a 16 hour timer controlling the LEDs and aerator.
She's 7 weeks in bloom. I also have another unknown plant that that I vegged for a short amount of time and is currently 2 weeks into 12/12. She just threw pistils.
Here’s a question for you guys: I switched from HPS to fluorescent lighting because my grow area was getting hot. It got up to 88 F with the 150 watt HPS fixture. I’m currently running 142 watts of fluorescent lighting (one 96 watt T5 fixture and two 23 watt CFLs) and it’s getting up to 86 F. Should I shut off the CFLs to try to keep it cooler or should I leave them on and let the crop deal with the temperature?
