Absolutely mate, I'm following your grow closely on a couple of forums as I have 4 critical +2.0 and 2 black D.O.G under 1000w of cobs, just added 600w this weekend. The whole canopy was sitting about 18 inches below the lights (I haven't scrogged yet as I badly fkd the main stems on the BD so was letting them heal). The C+ thrived, no bleaching and the picture of health, the BD were bleached and tacod badly. Initially I thought they needed more light so added another 200w, but it was the opposite. I raised the bars on the BD by about 15 inches and are now reaching up praying, still bleached but looking more vibrant and wanting light. The C+ are loving it at 18"@lukio if running the boards below 100 watts or less you can keep them real close to the canopy. But then that kills light spread, (great for veg). 200 watts + 30 inches and they are happy. Trust me I have tried every combination before settling on what actually works for me.
If anyone wants to run these boards soft and close to the canopy in a 4x4 tent then to get enough spread wall to wall in my opinion you will need 6 boards, I don't give a shit about readings the plants have the final say. We ain't growing electronics.
So when I finish my new cab 5ftx long 3x wide x 7ft high I will be adding four more boards and should never need more than 400/500 watts from the wall for my style of growing.
But everyone will run their boards in different configurations and that's the fun part, finding what will or what won't work.
Will update the diary again with some harvested pics of the Dinafem Critical+2.0 as I chop. Will follow up with the Dinafem Amnesia Kush when it's ready.
Good luck man, hopefully conditions will be perfect. I would be interested to see how a fuller spectrum effects rooting. Maybe they will be extra quick if all else is optimum. Keep us posted!@coreywebster funny you should say that, a clone is currently in the bubble bucket for next round, along with some G13 Labs Blue Cindy. Just hope the bubble buckets work out this time now that I'm 100% led there is a lot less heat to deal with, fingers crossed.
I'm waiting for my kit to come! Love the post thanks.Dinafem Amnesia Kush Single plant in 20l hempy bucket yield 210.81 grams
Dinafem Critical+2.0 Single plant in 20l hempy bucket yield = 235.30 grams
So total weight for both plants 446.11 grams
Above weights are dried weight solid nugs no twigs or crap
Larf from the critical 23.42 grams (larf from this strain is just that but full of resin)
Larf from the Amnesia Kush 32.05 grams (when I say larf for this strain I mean thumbnail solid nugs covered in resin)
Above larf weight I never normally weight it but I no some like to see these figures also.
From 14th April - 25 May 70 Days (11 weeks) Energy cost for lights only £51.63
Well that's that first grow only Quantum LED panels, a little up and down trying to sort light distance and power ratios, also not filling the net completely I'm going to guess I lost 1.5-2 ounces.
All in all not a bad run by any standards, thanks for looking in and I hope this diary will help others with their Quantum Boards or for those debating the switch to White LEDS.
