I hope so! I almost went with the Secret Jardin Orca, because I really liked the idea of combining that light with the Orca film (the tent is 4x4), but figured it'd be better to go with a 5x5 Gorilla Tent. I hate making these kind of decisions. No matter what I always second guess myself.

Now I just gotta figure out what exact strain I want to go with, and how many plants on top of that. Here's to another long night of Googling!

Gorilla was a great choice because of the height extension. Which I hope you have installed? You're going to need it...

Yup. Pain in the ass, leaving me with like 1 inch between the tent and ceiling, but worth it. On my previous tent, it was a lifesaver (had to install it mid-grow), so this time around I don't want to make the same mistake. At 5x5x7'11" with the extension I'd rather just leave it in place. Figure at that height I can grow a plant of up to around 4 ft at harvest and be safe. Ideally I'd rather keep it at 3 or lower and be able to focus on having a sexy, flat canopy.

None of my friends will understand my level of excitement here, so I'll share with with my RIU family. My new grow light shipped and is en route! I haven't been this excited since the day of my wedding. I've purchased the CX-16 made by Johnson Grow Lights (https://www.johnsongrowlights.com/products/cx-16).

I can't wait to start my new grow, from seed, complete with a journal.

Looks real familiar.

Aside from the CXB 3590's n MeanWells that is.

Good luck!

Hi !
Anyone have experience with bleeching buds/leaves?
I have my CXB3590's about 6-7 inches from canopy for a few days now (no diffuser and running 1.4a) but haven't experienced any bleeching.

EDIT : Waddya know, its page 420!

Yes I did with 3070's very bad. Didn't even realize it for awhile either. Looked like a deficiency at first

I also want a post on page 420.

But have little useful info to offer.

So...
I will just post pics of my 2 tents. Running 11 cobs total, all Cree 3590's. The 2 tents are a total of 570 watts.
At least I qualify as an LED user.

This is the 5 cob tent running at 250 watts with 1 dogbud and 2 headband 707's


The 6 cob tent running at 320 watts. I will supplement this with a stick led with red, blue, UV and IR on it. I want to see if multi spectrum is "better".
This is 1 dogbud(left) and 4 Blue fires waiting to be sexed.
