The area is 5ft x 4ft. 1.5m x 1.2m.

All the "Genuine" Samsung diodes are running very efficiently, nice n soft.
FOTOP Boards diodes ? should be pretty efficient too.

I gave the SS2s a 1.2 ec feed of tomato food a couple of days ago.
They're all in a mix of Biobizz soil, perlite, vermiculite and sand.
The lights still need minor adjustments but the par readings are good enough for now.
I'm happy so far.

Been running the boards for a almost a year now with no issues.

Also for guys that want to run 2 drivers at the same time on 1 outlet the simple solution is to run both wires off the driver into the wago connector.

We have ran them in veg and flower with no issues. I usually deal with Sophie but I think Rita is the woman in charge.
She handles all of the larger orders we place.

A clone is not a seedling. Clones can usually take much more light.

So cannabis as a genus originated under artificial lighting? big ass star was dimmer a couple of million years back?:mrgreen:

I've done guerrilla grows from seed for yrs btw, outdoor is my preference if it was legal in PA

No, but seedlings typically sprout in early spring when the weather is just warming and the sun is not as intense.

Sooooo no one has ever sowed cannabis seeds in early/mid summer?;)................seriously though dimming fluoros,hid,led,plasma,etc in veg is just a cost cutting (electrical) measure.

You should use the par meter behind a south facing window on a sunny day....... bet you still hit over 1400umol/s through the glass, maybe; )

That pic of clone was taken south facing.
All my doors and windows face east west front and back so my gardens, front and back gets the sun - when it's out, all day.
Outdoor weed growing here is a waste of time in my opinion.
I can get them big ok but come Sept it's too damp and cold.
People still try tho. My mate found a small plantation less than half a mile away from here a few years ago.
I'll just stick to tomatoes n flowers for outside . Getting the greenhouse out this weekend probably :cool:

greenhouse with supplementation seems like a great cannabis setup in the UK, depending on laws.........outdoor is challenging with your weather, would have to dump fungicides late season

Yea, I'd love to do a big greenhouse full but the law's an ass.
I'm in a natural hollow here so dampness and cold can be problematical early and late season.
