wow I can't believe walmart is selling led grow lights now. That's hilarius...have fun being on the facial recongition and eye retenia scanners at the self checkout...
That's hilarious did you even bother to read my username???? Ok so I buy my lights in New Hampshire. got me! Lmfao I'm 100% legal. retina scanner indeed, where do you live? north Korea? I live in the first state to legalize via legislative bill and not a ballot proposition.THAT is hilarious I think you spent too much time under your lights or just watch too much television long live general flynn oh oops I mean long live Q oh shoot I wasn't supposed to tell anyone lol ' retina scanners ' is that a deep state thing some people WILL believe anything they read on the internet. Have you ever considered sources of information you receive?

I'd start by downloading Photone on your phone, buy the profile for your lights (they have a blurple profile) and see what you're getting in your different spaces. You have a real mix of random light sources including UV. That may be part of your problem rather than part of the solution.
Thanks just the par is really all I need the breeders are saying that 35 par is a good minimum number to aim for I'll test them tomorrow the color of light plays an enormous part and being able to focus such a narrow spectrum allows good results from leds with much lower wattage than equivalent full visible spectrum

The uv is on flowers my research has found that the blue spectrum promotes vegetative and root growth red is best for photosynthesis the uv is to boost trichome production by up to 30%
You’re not far off there, but it comes down to the quality of that red and blue light, and an appropriate mix of different wavelengths on the light spectrum as well as overall intensity that make a grow light what it is.
I definitely don’t mean to call you down, and I started with what I had at the time as well. There are definitely levels of quality when it comes to lighting and that can’t be ignored. But regardless of what light you use, I was suggesting you use something like the app to give you information about your your light levels so you can decide whether to raise or lower them and determine if the light set up is causing you issues or if you can rule that out

I was really just wondering if anyone else had used the same lights some of the feedback was helpful but still not one other user has said that they used these lights i downloaded the Photone app I'll use it tomorrow I'm near where I want to be i think, but I need to reduce the intensity to get the plants to shoot a little i like squat bushy seedlings but I like to get them up to 18 or 24 inches before I move them into flower at this time they are 12 inches tall after stretch they would only be 24 inches at best if I moved them now I'm not so worried about yield I'm planning to harvest two to six plants per month for personal use 20211022_122355.jpg

geez I hope I din't offend you. it's not about wether it's legal or not. it's just an invasion of privacy in my opinion. i won't buy anything from walmart ever again just because it's so creepy....they really might have retinena scanners because some atms have them...that's just creepy having your eyes scanned...I gave your thread a free bump...ha

you might get quite a few some more responses if the feds ever legalize weed...
I just checked and they sell these down south in illegal states where walmart is big that don't have hydro stores anywhere...I'm sure a lot of people are trying them out but don't want to post...

Plenty of folks have used that type of lighting but not many stick with it after a few grows.

Reason being you end up with airy buds.

Actually as far as lighting goes quantity beats quality. Meaning more photons beats tailored spectrum.

You will just have to go with trial and error.

If you want more stretch then raise your lights and cut the blue out during transition.

As a very rough guide with a typical blurple of low efficiency you want at least 60w per square foot in flower.

Asking for advice and being cocky is a lethal mix here at riu, lol. Trolls will be awake soon.

You say your flower room thrives so how about posting some flowering pics or harvested nug shots?

Unfortunately those lights aren’t going to do much for you and you will be throwing them out soon if you stick with the hobby
