Penetration should be better based on the directional output of the led alone. They are essentially 15 watt cobs that get about 120 - lm/w. The real penetration comes from the fact that more light sources provide many overlapping light cones. So more light finds its way into the lower plant zone.

Those are two 50 watt floods as side lighting. Below the seedlings in red cups to illustrate stretch. They are currently 30" away from the lights.

A squeeze clamp or vice is the easiest way I've found to pop the covers. CFL are no longer even comparable IMO.

I've already amended with compost and will also be adding peat to the native soil. Between the three I think drainage for the year should be greatly improved. I'll be sticking a couple in smart pots and the rest into mounds I started in December. Fortunately we have had enough warm spells to...

No problem for me if they last one grow outdoors. I am intending to replace perlite in garden soil. Perlite causes problems after a couple years in garden soil breaking down and assisting compaction. Seems to me while rice hulls would need to be amended yearly it would overall increase organic...

Thoughts on amending garden soil with rice hulls 3 weeks before planting time?

Lol, if anyone is wondering why a guy going by the handle of no till is digging soil it's because it's our first season in a new spot.

Yes. If it were me I would go with less plants and bigger than 15 gallon pots. I'm not opposed to growing in the ground either. I just have not seen previously farmed soil that needs no amending at all. It's not surprising NPK and micronutrients are present in sufficient amounts but I would...

Honestly, I'd go more if you have full sun and no space restrictions.

I'd say 16 oz from 15 gallons is the upper end of realistic. it wouldn't change the footprint needed for the canopy either. It's not like he can go 15 gallons pot to pot and still expect 1 lb plants, he still needs space around them. I believe outdoors in a production mode it's recommended to...

You picked the wrong game to count your eggs before they hatched. I'm also thinking that even great topsoil that has been previously farmed generally has a compaction rate that most large scale weed tree growers would amend or avoid. Are you adding anything at all to the soil? Has it been tested?

With two houses 60 x 30 it seems achievable but not easily manageable IMO. Your still really tight for plants of that size. It calculates to 24 sqft per plant or 4.9' x 4.9'. Again without room to walk and work. FTR - I've never done a grow of this magnitude. Still some things remain a...

I had no problem with you expecting 1 lb plants until I read each plant is getting 12 square ft maximum. That would not include aisles to work from in a 30 x 60 greenhouse, that's wall to wall plants. You will need to double the foot print of each plant if your expecting to see a pound per...

Has anyone tried maple sap? Not boiled syrup but straight sap from the tree.

Thank you. I think your right. Going to shoot for about 15" of canopy in the future. Light upgrades are in the near future but I'm also prepping for outdoors so it's kinda not super priority atm. I have some cheap Chinese IC cobs that will be here sometime this week. It was hard to keep this...

Couple days from chop now.... day 53.

Some more shots...... day 47 Penetration is much better than I would have thought. Granted the long colas are very fluffy and loose, I have no way of knowing if a better light would have helped. FWIW- My first round and the other phenos in this round have respectable density. Some of my most...

Power outage today so had a couple almost done girls out in the sunny yet cool weather. 55 or so degrees F They are on day 45 of flower. yd

I couldn't tell you. The only meter I have is a lux meter app that hits max @ 37767 inside of 8" and goes down to 25-27500 about 12-15" away.

Oh and had very few seeds come out of last round. Just a few here and there.
