Slow growth

9 bulbs will be more effective than this viparspectra xs1500 led IMO
Migro uses 6x 13w bulbs in this space, not very effective, you need 9 x 13w led bulbs.

And between $150-$180 what do you think it’s the best one? I think i have to be really fast, it has like 16 growth tips and i feel them struggling. It’s pretty hard in a country where it’s “very” illegal if i can say so, but also it’s everywhere as it should be. But it’s crazy even buying a light online brings the police at the door…that’s why i was considering diy but if i can’t i would like to risk it for my babies)

How are you going to buy a RVK fan, carbon filter, and ducting, I can tell you ways to get around everything else.

Sound like AntoMaria7 needs to buy everything from the local DIY shop.

You could ask someone to build it for you, don't think anybody would ever guess it for growing weed.

Your opinion differs from the facts.

117w of led bulbs is not more effective than 150w of LM301b diodes, not even close.

Ok that's talk about facts, what makes an LED effective IMO it's an even light spread of 850 over the whole canopy, not 1470 par dead center and 650 in the corners, this light puts out more light not saying otherwise but that does not make it effective.

 

[Markshomegrown]

I space the LEDs to give you more light spread and use reflectors to make them more effective.

here is 2 screen shots, one of migro diy light(not the best set up) but still 1.78 ppfd/watt and the xs1500 1.88 ppfd

I already have the computer fan prepared so i think this might work so i’ll give it a try. It would work or not. But if i don’t succed what do you think about viparspectra xs1500? I think it’s the best one i afford to buy as here $1000 is like two month medium wage

of course it would work but its labor as i said if you’re willing to get your hands dirty and do a little bit of research you can build a great light.

Ok so the cat just ate some leaves…i think saying that yesterday was just bad luck….is she that bad?

 

[Markshomegrown]

looks like you could do with an extra bar in the space, spacing a little wide.
My plants in basic compost, sand, and some perlite. dry plant food from my local garden center, chicken manure, seaweed meal etc
everything brought local

My plants 47 days in flower(12/12), they need another 2 weeks

Nearly all the pistals have dropped,curled on the buds and over 50% have turned amber.

Buds are starting to ripen, can't see them going 11 weeks.

Low room temps with led causes slow growth. Sure it’s probably not a great light. But should work for veg.

what are your temperatures ?

might just be me, but i see a lot of fresh pistils still. Looking good though. good effort with the lights. I ran a plant under 4x14w and 2x11w household globes and managed 1.3g per watt which i didn't expect at all.

Last GDP auto quoted 80 days from seed and 56 days flower, but here it was at day 73 of flower. Went another week and a half. I see more fresh pistils in your shot. Come to think about it, every auto i've grown has gone longer in flower than the whole lifecycle the breeder quoted

Sounds like you're going to pull them early. Show a close up of a cola.

Edit: Nevermind there was one above. That's got like 3 weeks left.
