HGL Penetrator 84X Review & Grow

[Big Perm]

Heading out of town tomorrow, so posting week four now.
I also moved two plants.

Cost for me to run this light at 12/12.

I put my feed and drain into the 2x2. They spent one day in this 2x4 while I did that but the light schedule didn't get interrupted.


Today they are back in the 2x2 and happy to get a drink.

Thanks that helps with me picturing the scale the plants look healthy and very uniform so far

Thanks. Those black tubs are also the bottoms of 5 gallon buckets, for size comparison.

topping ?

They have been growing pretty fast lately. Right now they are at 5" from the light and have been working that way for days, and loving every minute of it. I'm going to scrog very soon. I guess I can go up about 12" with the light still. I should be good.

Hey mate, a couple of interesting things going on there. So at that height it doesn't look like the RGB blends very well, but it doesn't seem to be making much difference would you say?

How's the stretch on that strain compared to other lights? The HGL spectrum has a lot of red in it - and also a fair amount of far red - which seems to promote growth, but also a bit of stretch - as you would expect it to.

Lookin good.

I would agree it doesn't look like they care if they are being blasted by a single RGB color. I thought I had a purple stem because a red diode was lighting it up.

I've never ran the frisian dew before. It's actually more of an outdoor strain, but I'm pretty confident in my training skills.

I also flipped these to 12/12 one week after they popped.

@Ryante55 I'm going to be running this scrog at 12" I think, I'll go as close as HGL says I can go.

 

[Prawn Connery]

You'd expect them to stretch a little under all that red and far red. I was just curious to know if you could compare it to another grow to see if it was more or less than usual. They look very healthy. That light is even closer than I run my panels and strips, and with no ill-effect.

Getting better and better mate.

Have a great weekend...

Are you running same plants in all tests? And are you doing more than this one, the amare, and the iliumitex (IL 8?)?

Same plants from clone for comparisons. Two different comparisons might have two different strains, but the comps will be the same plants. I will do a comparison grow for all except the ILuminar.
