Hello all, this is my first experience with indoor horticulture. I will be reviewing a CLW Solar Storm 400w LED light that I received discounted via the growers feedback program.
On a side note, I received my light a little over a month ago so I apologize for the delay in my first post. I've experienced a tremendous loss recently. My father passed away from cancer a few weeks ago after just being diagnosed in late December. Needless to say, it's been a emotionally draining, but I am ready for something to take my mind off of life's recent chaos.
My goal: Successfully grow leafy greens such as romaine lettuce and swiss chard from seed and then using a DWC setup for accelerated growth. I have germinated the seeds already in peat pellets.
My planned setup: Dimensions: 4'x4' grow space Medium: DWC (DIY Rubbermaid Res) Nutrients: General Hydroponics Flora Grow & Micro
I have never done a grow journal before and just recently began reading them more heavily on forums such as this. If I need to include additional information just let me know.
Welcome to the forums and I'm sorry for your loss.
If you have any questions, let us know...
Disclaimer: I still use HID and I'm NOT an LED expert. All of my LED knowledge is from other parties or research so I can't say from first hand experience one way or another. I also run a medical grow consulting business in SoCal.
Below is the setup. The Romaine and Swiss Chard are taking to the DWC ok so far. I am following a seedling nutrition formula from GH using Flora Micro & Grow.
