I just moved into my new house, finally, after living in the same shithole apartment for over 10 years.
WHICH MEANS I CAN GROW AGAIN FINALLY!!!
Things have drastically changed since the last time I was able to grow like I am able to now. I have had my share of closet grows, dealt with the spider mites and explaining high electric bills....
So, I wanted to change with the times. I personally believe LED is the future of grow lights, mainly because we can completely customize spectrums based on what each individual strain likes, which in my opinion changes the game completely. Once the price of good quantum boards goes down a little, or quality increases and the price doesn't, HPS will be more of a preference light for the OG's who don't like change.
So I will be growing with the light specified in the heading. It was a little over 100 bucks on Amazon, and I really wish I had done more research prior to ordering this blurple. However, I have already purchased it so I will run it a full cycle to give others the opportunity to find this thread, learn from my mistake, and make a more well informed decision on this specific light.
I have 3 Hogs Breath, with some pretty good genetics behind them (Michigan locally grown), and 2 cuts of some Skunkmaster Flex GMO cookies.
I'm using 5 gallon buckets with a ton of drainage and holes for oxygen to get to the soil on the sides. I have a humidifier (just in case), dehumidifier (just in case), heater, oscollating fan, intake and out, with carbon filter, and keep my room extremely clean. I test my ph in my water, feed, and runoff.
For now, I am feeding Black Strap Molasses, Grow Big (foxfarm), and Wholly Mackeral (also fox farm).
I am not saying I have the best conditions or setup by any means, but it is what I have for now and I will make the most out of it either way. What I hope I can provide here is a start to finish grow with this light, so people can see what the average grower can accomplish with this light.
I will add pictures as time goes on, and will explain them all so you're well informed and I don't leave anyone hanging in confusion and frustration over what the FUCK the picture is for.
(NOTE: I do already have a Phosphorus toxicity from overfeeding the Grow Big. It was supposed to be every other feeding, and I was already going a little over 2.5tsp/gal, so I fucked up... fed twice in a row, and as soon as I saw the leaves, I knew what I had done. To fix it, I will be going normal on my molasses next feeding, no Grow Big, and half on my Wholly Mackerel)...
The first picture is of the specs of the light.
The second picture is just a general overhead view of the few I have going in this run.
The third picture is a Hogs Breath teen.
The fourth picture is a Skunkmaster Flex GMO Cookie seedling (which will not be staying in this room).
The fifth picture is of another Hogs Breath teen.
The sixth picture is one of the Skunkmaster Flex GMO Cookie teens. They have both been topped and are being trained. And obviously, they were impacted the most by the P toxicity, but will soon be bouncing back strong.
