Smokey how are you liking the FC 6500?

I'm mulling over purchasing the 6500 or HLGs Scorpion Rspec, I'd appreciate your opinion on your light.

Thanks.

.
So far I feel that it grows at the same pace as the es300’s I was using.

The colour of light it puts out is much more white than the other .

Definitely has a better distribution.

In a 5x5 I found it a bit cumbersome compared to 2 fixtures but have overcome with a fancy pulley assist to keep me from getting sticky reaching through and across.

Really a pain in the arse .

I am not going to be able to answer with truth until I can do a full run but from what I see from others running them surely it will be comparable.

It’s too bad Useful called it quits, I wonder if he’ll ever comeback
Damn I've been away.. 20+ days due to chest infection... The lung draining kind.. But USEFUL was 95% the reason I logged online..

I've been away too long... I will miss USEFUL's posts. I've got a useful stash but will treat his beans differently now... Hope he is healthy and happy...

Ok , just a sprig of a root coming out this morning after 10 days of the fce6500 but I really need her so in she goes.

Fingers crossed

A bit of musical chairs but had to reposition for what coming.

Would have loved to show you the roots but it took two hands to hold them up for transfer.

Happy Monday

I'm excited to see the chocolate skunk! That's my next run....Chocolate Skunk and Chem91 SKVA x Choc Diesel. Your setup is clean! Very nice.
I am sure I have some of that also in my box of goodies .

Thank you for stopping by and your kind words .

Enjoy

Smokey do you know the difference between the FC 6500 and the FC E 6500?

The FC E is suppose to be for commercial but it's much cheaper than the FC.

The chips. Samsung in the more expensive and bridgelux in the other.

I would like to try the difference some day .

Tiny bit bigger and freshly tied down.

The 2 different chocolate diesel’s are just that different.

Strawberry will match in time once it gets it’s groove on, well it got some catching to do but it alive .

Loving the Mars fce6500 light there saying.

Good evening everyone.

I had to look back myself and see but today has been 3 weeks since I added plants to the system.

I would be interested to know how tall one of these could be if I had chosen a different method .

Next time for sure as it will be more sativa .

Over the last 3 weeks the ph has been quite stable , perhaps once a week I adjusted .

Ppm has also not done much but has gone down 20 . Really there’s is not much base and grow , but a full dose of calmag with small amount of the other taking to the 290 first mentioned 3 weeks ago and then now today with my ph down to 5.6 I though wth let’s up the grow .

So I added enough grow for 330 ppm or .66ec and balanced ph closer to 5.8-9 ish.

No water added or removed.

Cup added to the top of the little one as I get her to root through the stone.

I would like to bring the light a bit closer as the larger ones are reaching for those Mars rays .

But I just need to ensure this 4 one goes.

Enjoy the plants and the football game tomorrow.

Good afternoon.

Three days have past and ph 5.1 and ppm down 10

Trimmed some big primary’s off the 4 mains and hacked the smaller one a bit and let that grow for couple days.

Roots are and inch out of pot in site of water.

Today fresh tie down , ppm raised to 366 or .732 ec which in turn lowers my ph so this time I used gro-silic to raise , with some down mind you.

ph back to 5.96.

Foundation is laid .

Broke a limb being a bit aggressive. Small piece of puzzle .

Topped the larger two for the last time.
More shock.

Front left plant has root in water .

So time to bush them up and flower.

Enjoy the weekend and Dayton for NASCAR fans .

Turned the light down a bit , trying to get the little one to pick up in all aspects.

Keeping an eye and nose on things , more orca and guard . Seriously it looks fine but the smell I’m a bit suspect .

Could also be how the water circulates or lack of since changing the approach so I have picked up a bit bigger pump and will make sure I get a better flow.

Who are you rooting for in the race .

Bingo , now were firing on all cylinders.

Even the mended one had a change of heart.

Sorry Mr Allen but too much power.

Good afternoon.

The other three ladies are loving the fce6500 while this one decides when it’s time.

Seems right , the others are not complaining.

FedEx showed up with a new toy. This will be a great addition for getting things started if my pockets were deeper the 3000 bar would have been nice.
