Just put 6 blueberry in my room with the new light setup. These were clones I took way back around beginning of march, I flowered 6 starting 4-26 and harvested them on 6-26. So far it was my best indoor harvest although I never bothered to weigh it, prob about a pound...These 6 stayed in 4" pots until mid june when I put them in the 3 gal pots. My room was shut down while I was on vacation and rearranging the lighting.They were outdoors until 8-12 then moved inside, needless to say they are pretty big now so this will be interesting. I added 2 qb 288 panels and a solarcure uv fluorescent tube that will come on at midday for some time, right now its one hour but may bump that up, don't really know what I'm doing yet. I have it on at a time I am not in the room.
blueberry, quantum, uv, far red, grow
- Thread starter burnpile
- Start date
Also am adding some additional red, should get the parts today.

A Really nice setup.
What size is it and what's your wattage?
I have my room setup with 4ea) qb 288 & 4ea) qb 120's, and a 5 cob full spectrum fixture I built, I have a far red light bar that goes on at lights out for 20 min. I just added a solarcure fluorescent tube fixture for uvb. The room is 15 +- sq ft, 42" x 52". Total draw is 800w but approx 170w is used by fans.

Don't be surprised if you have a devastating pest infestation now that you've brought them indoors from out.
They got sprayed with bt & fungicide 3 before they came in, hope that killed anything, although I couldn't see any evidence of pests. My last batch was actually out in the greenhouse from 4-12 to 4-26, then went indoors for 8 weeks to finish, gave them the same treatment and it worked that time. Thanks for the warning and i'll keep a close eye.
All those plugs inside just reminds me of final destination.
Is that a movie? That's the problem with all the different lights I have with different schedules, and its getting worse when I add the two new photo red fixtures to fill the gaps in the center.
Yes it is, I was implying that looks like an electrical fire waiting to happen.

I would suggest trying one or 2 of these Sonoff devices:
https://www.amazon.com/Sonoff-Automation-Self-Locking-Appliances-Compatible/dp/B075H8Y8H9/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1534617690&sr=8-8&keywords=sonoff
That one has 4 timers built in to it. I use several individual Sonoff setups for my far red, main lights, etc. That 4 switch/timer looks very handy. Plus you can turn on/off anything connected to it with your phone from anywhere. They also make a humidity/temperature controller that you can monitor your room temp and humidity from your phone and it can turn on/off a humidifier/dehuey/fan/heater/etc when the room gets too hot/cold/humid/etc. Pretty slick stuff.
Lol, don't get out much. The whole mess only pulls 800w so I dont think its a problem, there is a lot of cords though.
Don't laugh but I don't have a cell phone other than an old flip phone, I'm not into being available all the time (maybe if it were the plants that were calling). Sounds good but prob too advanced for me, although a year and a half ago everything was.

If that tidy setup got your attention, you havent looked around this site enough. There is some really ugly electrical shit all over the place in here.

Yes, that would pose a problem. You need a smart phone and a wi fi router connected to internet for sonoff devices. After the timers/setpoints are set on them, you don't need router, phone, or internet anymore. I like them because the timers are all running off the same "internet" time. With individual timers, one's time may be a little faster or slower than the other so eventually the far red is on while the main lights are on or after the plants have been in darkness for a while.

Nothing super special but does get some light to the lower area's.
here is the progress at 1 wk + 1 day, way too big, we'll see what happens. Need to remove some lower branches, get the min temp up to 72 deg +-. First two pics are just with the under lights on, others are with full lighting, they aren't really that yellow but my cam isn't the best.

Seems like a lot of light for ~1.25 sq.m.

There’s no point in the fluoros. You’re directing the light to the wrong side of the leaves. The underside breathes, I believe, but it doesn’t photosynthesize.
