Can't recommend them, always take a chance when buying some of this low end Chinese stuff but I'll be trying some of these in my 2x4' veg tent just to see how they fare. Grabbed 2x 6000k and 1x 3000k 70w/ea to try, I'll use 2x 6000k on the outside with the 3000k in the centre. Worst case scenario I'll retrofit the fixture with real COBs and have some expensive fixtures. Hard to beat the price at $0.57/watt and 100lm/w.

Right, I get it, I would be better off with some tasty, citizen, or timber, but I get curious about the cheaper ones...I mean it's just Veg I'm thinking about for now. Here's an Amazon 100w, they have 50, 100, 150

Yeah same idea and even cheaper, weird thing over here, on the .ca amazon site they're more expensive and they charge shipping for Canadian customers $#%!

I have one similar to those from about 3 years ago that's still running, it's just a spare I'll use from time to time. I wouldn't recommend them for flowering but I did get as high as 1 gpw with them in that 2x2 tent and paid around the same per watt. The one's I linked are supposedly 100lm/watt vs. 80lm/watt, that's about the only difference. For veg they're probably fine, I'd grab 2 of them though to properly cover the area, when I ran 100w in the 2x2 I found it lacking in coverage.

The 150 Watt (3-50's in a reflector) is 80 bucks. It's like 8 bucks for a 4 year warranty. Pretty cheap. I'd be curious to see the light fade over distance with my light meter.

This was a fun chuck for a poly mix, who knows what'll come out, lots of mixed genetics in this one.

I had my Blue Ripper x Blue Dream male out and his nickname is Waldo for anyone who remembers back several rounds. So I hit a couple of buds on the Blue Harley last round while I had the pollen out.

Got 2x 10-packs of Waldo's Harley, I'll pop a few next to see what's in this box of chocolates :)

Flower room is slowly filling in again. 4x 3gal at Day 24 and 2x 5gal just flipped at Day0. They're tagged with the strains on the 2nd pic. The Skunk #1 P5 has a branch with Panama and another with Skunk #1 P3 male hit. Long way to go but some buds coming in now on the 3gal's.

The Skunk #1's and Fireballs are straight up from seed, no training, I like to see their natural structure when running them for the first time. SK1 P5 has a nice smell to it and stacking well.

G, do you make those Trellis' or buy them? Those are 3 gallon pots right?

Plants look beautiful brother........

Cheers Evil, I buy those, I have a bunch around and keep re-using them. Grab them at the dollar store, they're like $3 for 3 of them. Handy for some phenos, the BP needs support, buds are solid/heavy but the plant is viney with weak stems so they just droop to the floor without support.

The Blue Harley and Blue Pyramid are in 5 gal's, the rest are 3 gal's.

Thanks for the info on the trellis and the pot size. Trying to imagine what I might be able to grow per #3 pot of coco this next run with the Skywalker auto's............... :hump:

The BP & BH are going to run through most of the summer so put them in a little bigger pot to get an extra day of water in. Will setup the Clabber drip and get 3+ days when it's running. Good luck with the coco run and the Skywalker :mrgreen:

Thanks I am excited it should be a decent yield of just Skywalker and last a good bit.

The nectar for the gods nutes to test are here I snatched a sample kit from them, that will be the run after the skywalkers. Excited about that too.............do not think it's fair to do a comparison grow and run different mediums and lights in each tent so will do one medium at a time.

Lol, pretty sure I saw some of that crap. I had a good hookup for real Thai stick at one point but last time I smoked any was probably around 1978. Guy had everything high end so I'd sell the $20 Mexican brick and buy the good stuff for personal like Panama Red, Columbian Gold, Acapulco Gold and the Thai stick ;)
