viparspectra have good samsung diodes and meanwell drivers so you can trust they will be reliable low heat and very easy to use. I have upgraded to set up a 4x4 but ill keep using my vipars till they expire.i recomend a bar style fixture for even coverage in the space being used. Good luck and...

I have been using viparspectra for a few years both the ks and xs series are good budget friendly lights. And yes they definately work. They seem to be the best of the main budget lights available but i could be wrong as there are alot of companies reeling in people who want to grow their own.

These two autos were getting roughly 725 ppfd at the canopy and on the big girl to the left you can see a bit of leaf tacoing so i know they didn't need any more light on the top most cola on mrs big she did staet to form an imature green seed pod just before chop but it was around 9 inches from...

Thats around 940 ppfd acording to my uni-t/ plus conversion method which is nearing the limit but as stated by fellow members genetics, enviroment play a big part in plant behaviour. This cheese photo clone got a max of 870 ppfd or 60k lux and 24 degrees and in its last week or two developed a...

I followed shane from migro he had a conversion table for the btu posted online. after i asked delphs on here, he gave me his insights and after using his equation i got better results ie the plants received more light, so i guess its only as good as the equation. Still good to have an idea of...

This is my recent grow using the uni-t lux meter from sprout to finish

Get one of these photone is rubbish! very inacurate ive been using this uni-t lux meter for years and its a much better way of measuring light distance and intensity. You use a conversion equation to convert lux into ppfd i consider it just as important as a decent ph meter.

Thats sounds very interesting. and the t5 is just for heat as the led is feeding the plants its kind of a waste of resources and power but as long as they are warm the outcome is usually worth it.

I use my t5 fixture and seedling mat for germination but also for extra heat while there young and the led is on a lower percentage works well in colder months and keeps humidity in an acceptable range i find oil heaters make things a bit dry even when iin the lung room.

Agreed with rocket soul increase temps using led and say goodbye to mg deficiencies its tricky to do in winter but there are plenty of solutions

You have to feed every time you water some people feed up to 5 times a day all depends on pot size these plants are in 3 gal fabric pots so fed once daily in veg then up to twice a day mid to late flower 10 to 20 % runoff. Google coco for cannibas has alot of usefull info. I start my autos in...
