515-530nm is suppose to get the plant to absorb the other spectrum more efficiently, and allows the light to penetrate deeper down to the lower limbs. Some kind of trigger effect. That's why I added one green at each panel, should be plenty enough. The 6000-6500K is to cover all other...

Do you think too little light would cause leaves to drop? I thought the sign of too little light would be new pale green stretched growth. I know very little about mango plants though

The heatsink is from taobao.com. It would be hard to acquire that outside China, dunno if those heatsinks are exported to the west. Can always find others though, like from rapidled.

Thanks, hopefully they're not just nice to look at but can grow some good plants hehe

My plant certainly hasn't become tall and full of fruit! It's only become a stick without a single leaf. I had to cut some of the top off because it was rotting a bit. Think it's been too close to the window during the really cold days, room temperature is warm but close to window I imagine it...

Hope this year will be more successful for you! That pumpkin sure seems to be set. I dont have the space to grow pumpkins, tried last year in my greenhouse and it totally outgrew all the space I had, only produced one pumpkin which didnt have time to ripen

That seems like really fast growth rate! Sure will take some time until the stem hardens up and the leaves turn pure green. I'd love to measure it, traveling back to Norway tomorrow so in a couple of days I could give an update :) Hopefully the people caring for it didnt kill it while I was...

How tall is those plants? Seems like you're outgrowing mine in such a short time!

Thats really quick progress, something must be wrong with my plant comparing to the speed of your growth. Growing from seed gives faster growth I guess but mine has just produced a couple of new leafs in half a year. I wonder if my mango tree is grafted or a stickling, it was already like 30cm...

Thats really fast growth, mines a bit doormat! How do you know it wont grow to a tree with inedible fruit when growing from seed?

Thats sure an exciting place to be, wish I could visit that store :)

I think it looks really similar to sun burn on chili plants, I vote the sun did it.

The seed has sprouted you say, do you grow mangos from seed too? Wish I had your climate, not way I could ever put a mango tree outside here. Just have to see how big I can get it indoors!

I'll follow this thread, got my own mango tree cutting from Canary Islands. Have no idea about what type of mango tree it is but it's sure exciting :) Mangos are by far my favorite fruit.

Thats a healthy looking plant! Love doing hydroponics myself :) Mostly peppers in my hydroponic systems though but sometimes some lettuce too

I'm going to attempt a DIY myself, pretty similar to yours. How much thermal adhesive do you recon I need? How much you spent on your lights?

Those Trinidad Scorpion Mourga peppers look mad, excited about growing them next year! :)

- What is your latitude, and northern or southern hemisphere? (Southern hemisphere has more water than northern, so that may be a factor.) My plants has to go through Norwegian weather. All of them has been grown in greenhouse or indoors hydroponic system. - Average temps over the last month...

Thought it was about time to add a new post! One of the most exciting things that have happened lately was the Goats Weed plant growing much taller than me, around 6 foot and 6 inches. Now I've cut it down for overwintering, awesomely thick stem. It sure loved dipping it's feet in my...
