Been using LED myself for a while now, I dont/didnt think you can get a light that cheap that actually draws 1000 actual watts from the wall! So I reckon it's their "equivalent watts"
I use a ViparSpectra R900 for veg and with both switches on that uses 420 true watts, this light cost me 240GBP (can get 4 × 600w hps with bulbs, reflectors and ballast for this price) and was not worth the investment if I'm brutally honest. Amazing Veg light, atrocious for flowering as it lacks so much red its not even a joke! The only reason I still use it for even vegging is because of how much I spent on the f*ing thing! Blurple light works but not how people expect or want really, that's not to say you cant get results as I have myself but none worth writing about in my opinion!
If your buying an LED light use one that uses Cree or Philips diodes, the second it says epistar walk away, quantum boards seem to be a great route to take as some people are getting some outstanding results! If not find yourself a decent COB kit!
I've given up with LEDs and have gone back to using MH and HPS for almost everything apart from the 1 space with the R900!

I’m the same I’d love to give led ago but the setups I’m looking at are $1000 just to flower 4x4 but seen some quality yields. It’s dam expensive, could make my own to save but that’s not me.

Im growing in canna coco coir, i bought the brick n a bag stuff. A buddy told me is all nutriences wise i would need is canna coco part A/B. I just ordered it so itll be a few days until i get it. Any tips on weather i should get additional or different nutriences.
Im not going fot max. yeild. as this is my first time growing but i want good quality buds.
Im in Michigan so im slowly working my way in the art of growing instead of trying some massive grow that i cant control.

marijuana has 3 stages. Seedling, vegetative and flower. Seedling stage is 2-4wks, vegetative stage depends on you and lighting conditions, flower stage depends on the strain because each strain has a max potency during flower. Your outdoor Mary Jane will stay in the vegetative stage until the days get shorter and then it will begin flower. How many weeks flower last depends on you & the strain your growing. I'm growing Harlequin/sativa so I will harvest my plant at 8 or 9 weeks into flower. Are you using any kind of fungicide for pesticide? I would highly suggest neem oil! Especially since you're growing straight Outdoors Commando Style.

Hi all, New here on rollitup. Haven't done many forums before so not exactly sure what I'm doing. I've done a fair share of outdoor growing with my brother, but I'm stuck in the city for work so I thought I'd try my hand at an indoor grow. Going to try and start posting one here soon, once I get a free moment. I can be found on Instagram @PapaTsOG as well

Hello everyone, I'm new here and fairly new to forums in general. I'm gonna be that guy asking how to do simple things, I'm sure of it. Just an old Veteran looking for like minded people to shoot the shit with.

So I just took over a bagseed plant because roommate couldn’t take care of it anymore
He said he never gave it nutrients just light/ water/ air circulation
On that first day (Friday) I switched her to a 12/12 cycle, 50-60% humidity with red and blue led lights at ~45w
Watered the plant so wrong that she dehydrated on day 5 (Tuesday) so he lollipopped her and showed me how to properly water her and also learned she needed more light... yikes! I was using the towel and water bowl format as a cheap humidifier but after reading a lot of online tips I decided to take it out and keep her at a range of 50-53%
Another friend (one time grower) said she looked better 2 days later but she’s still lacking nutrients so I bought the General Organics go box and a ph balance kit
Day 9 (Saturday) new light (viraspectra v300 300w) came in so I hooked it up and kept the 45w red and blue leds
Need advice on how or where to start with the GO box nutrients... please

You should post some pics mate also what medium do you use and what ph. I’d start with a quarter of what the bottle recommends. I couldn’t even give mine half strength or they would burn. Good luck bro

Thanks I was thinking thinking half dose but after browsing online I saw a majority few putting 1- 0.5ml of mixture per liter of water
I’ll post a pic when their light cycle comes on in a few hours and of the products in question.
What do you mean by medium? Like the ph range or rating? I haven’t tried adjusting it, I’d be trying both things for the first time on the plant.
Here’s a pic of what it looked like right before I noticed the dehydration.

Grow medium refers to what the plant is growing in ie coco, soil or hydro. Plant is in good condition for the poor quality light

Wish i had done more research on my light. Or lights in general.
I have roughly $150$ to spend to get a new light. I know its not alot but any ideas on which way i ahould go with that price. Room is a 6×3

You might be able to cover a 3x3 for $150.
Depends on where in the world you are and your access to possibly used equipment.
Could get a 1000W HPS for that money but still not enough to cover that space unless you used a light mover and they are around $300 or at least mine was.
2 x 400W HID would do it. Each will do about 3x3.
Good luck!
