3rd time lucky! 260w LED TSE&Barneys Auto Run

[L0wdawg]

Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing ok in these not so normal times...

I've set up again! Previous 2 tries went ok.. I lost my motivation after the second run as they took bloody ages and the yield/quality wasn't great.

I think a combination of overwatering at the start of the cycle and using a convector heater inside the tent did absolutely no good whatsoever.

Anyway...

I've made a few changes - gone with 7ltr pots instead of 11 so I can control them better for LST (also meant I could put trays under them), swapped out the convector heater for an oil fin radiator and changed the air intake so it pulls directly from outside instead of inside.. fingers crossed it helps...

What is your starting Wattage - and what lamp are you using?

Thanks!

I can't change the light according to wattage unfortunately, its just a bog standard potentiometer attached to the driver. It's pretty much as low as I can set it and I'll turn it up in small increments across the coming weeks! It's a quantum board 288, samsumg lm301h with uv + IR

Perfect...and apologies: I didn't see it in the title before.

L0w - if I may be so bold as to suggest something, it's that you have your work cut out with air pots and soil - I absolutely hated that combo. There's just no way of knowing if you've managed to moisten all of the soil to the bottom; it was seriously stunting my plants until I moved away from them. I'm sure you'll be fine and all that, but it's a consideration and JMO, as always.

I've not tried it before! The first girl I did was a fabric pot and soil, the 2nd run air pots and coco... hopefully it won't be problematic! I can gauge the run off as there is a small gap between the air pots and the trays (they sit nicely on the inner ridges)

Thanks for the pointer!!

Good luck with the grow mate. Keeping my fingers crossed for you Low
