That looks fun to mix. How much do you think that ran you/how long will it last/did you see much of a difference after adding all of those? ( sorry for all the questions..asking as a noob trying to figure this growing weed thing out)
I went for cheap and easy. $30 out the door. tax incl. (Local...
Day 19 of flower.
I have a feeling these side nugs will fill out nicely with all the spare light feeding them.
Side nug frosting up nicely already.
The purpling on the stem is from when she was dying when i flushed her time release nutes...we dont like to talk about back then, shes...
Hps is oldtech and innefficient. Go LED be it COBs or strips or quantum boards. Id do strips/COB/QB over HPS anyday.
F series - ~170 lumens per watt - ~$300 for 500w
EB strips - ~160 lumens per watt - ~150$ for 500w
CMH is what 140 lm/w? Most HPS has an inferior PAR to most of these LED we...
Im getting good with the old lady watering can, but i still end up spilling a bit. Bluemats look sweet. If i can get them cheap enough or rig a system like that by myself, my lazy ass would be in heaven.
Ty. Ive seen some sweet ass grows with those cheap "blurple" leds, they truly are legit. I went with cob led for my first grow and they seems to be doing great so far.
Your plants look great bro, best of luck with her.
Ty :)
In a 8gal homemade smartpot cause im so cheap ill even DIY that to save a few bucks. Ha. Then put that in a recycling bin for watering. (Free again)
Shes about 3ft tall almost done the stretch in an ikea closet wrapped with reflective film under 150w of cobs.
This pic is a few days ago...
I was just counting my colas today in my 2x3....
This is my first grow so take it wih a grain of salt, but with all colas at about the same height, they seem fairly even spaced to fatten up nicely when i spread them out evenly. One plant.
Oh hell nah, super simple and quick. Only ac/dc i knew before this had guitars. People have stuck these lm561c strips on cookie baking sheets for heatsinks and built an equivalent wattage light to a quantum board in like less than half an hour for a bit cheaper while still getting 1000+ppfd in...
I feel ya, just figured with your DIY grow area you may spare 1h to assemble a light.
Imho, quantum boards are the best plug and play atm due to them using the lm561c s6 bin diode. If i knew this before building cobs, i would have built one of those from scratch.
I ain't here to sell you...
