    I am ready to be amazed!

    Since this is my first grow with an LED QB, I am unsure what to look for. These pictures seem a lot different than what I am used to with CFL. Do these look OK? The yellow patches on the leaves are worry some. I bought a "kill a watt" today and checked my wattage. The QB was drawing 120 watts...

    I'll back off on any nutes for the one on the left. One on the right side is an older mother, so I think she can keep using the nutes.

    4 weeks veg since switching to my QB. Both same strain (northern lights), different colors? They seem healthy so not to worried. Currently keeping temps around 75-80°. Starting to train into scrog. Not sure yet when I'll flip, I'm guessing it will be another week or so. Notice how one is...

    CFL Harvest

    My exhaust is upper left corner (two fans), and intake is lower right. I think I have pretty good air flow, and a small fan blowing across the canopy.

    QB grow update. It has been just over two weeks since switching to the quantum LED. Currently I show 712 PPFD, at 17" from the top of the canopy. Plants have been topped and training to keep low and spread. My old mother plant is starting to come out of it's funk. One of it's clones is doing...

    CFL Harvest

    Final count from last CFL Harvest After drying on rack for 14 days. Final trim and placing in jars. As you may notice I didn't manicure these as I only use for edibles. Then I put into pint jars. Total weight after 14 days drying just a smidge under 5 oz total. This is a personal best for...

    CFL Harvest

    Just checked them this AM It has been 1 week and they are still not dry. I have tried to keep the temps up but it has been really cold around here. Maybe another week to dry.

    Ok so that is quite a video. Understood that this guy is the CEO of a for profit company. Kind of shoots down the $15 lux meter Also very educational, seems you can push the PPFD quite high as long as you can provide correct environment. Love the Idea that even seedlings and young clones can...

    I am ready to be amazed!

    Thanks for the suggestions. My cabinet is 24x36x48 for scrog and flowering. I have a 24x30x36 for cloning, starting, and mother plants (currently houses two starter clones) How do you check lux? I will watch temps for a day or two and get them up a bit higher. Its crazy, some people say keep at...

    I am ready to be amazed!

    So I have started my first QB grow. New HLG 260w QB, with driver mounted on the outside of the cabinet. Check it out! I had one Northern Lights mother (5 months old), and my last clone off of this mother. As you can see the mother plant is a bit tired. She was in a 1 gal fabric pot and needed...

    Hi all, I wanted to share some photos of my CFL grow. I have 300 watts of CFL some 27k and some 65k. I have recently purchased an HLG 260w QB, and will be using this going forward.
