What reasons for "hating" on the Dormgrow panel keebo???? Not a fan of Cammie's HG panels either

Nice grow btw

not hating just stating. lol i've been using dormgrow for a while now, it there are always much longer than usual grow times...like my yumbolt usually goes 8 weeks- 9 tops... with the dormgrow it was more like 12-13 weeks...waaaay to long for my meds..... I told company about this, they said I should buy a 90w all red ufo for 150 to getter better results ( I thought the light i bought WAS full spectrum, apparently not) so after I bought the 90 watt. I expected big things......wrong. dorngrow is ok for 1 foot plants but if you try to grow large plants they will never finish.. and i mean large as is vegged for 1 month....the video im showing is the dormgrow at week 12.. i ended up cutting her down before she finished because it didnt look like she was going to finish

notice how the pistils stay perpetually white?

Keebo,

I have the Stacker with 5w x 144 LED and when I turn both modes on my heat goes up to 89 degrees. Do you have the same stituation in your Yielder?

Well that's strange............spectra shouldn't prevent them from finishing, some growers even use MH till harvest or the last couple weeks for a "better quality" product.

Are you absolutely sure your timer is working correctly?, I've had cheapos fail to trip/ inaccurate time settings/etc...

Are you absolutely sure you have no light leaks/ or ANY light sources on during the dark ??........even small light sources can prevent / lengthen the flower period.

Are you using an OZONE generator in the room????

What the hell is in the golden tree all-in-one nutrient additive???

good luck on your grow

Agree, plants should finish regaurdless, unless light leak nutrient etc etc

I had issues with the heat when I had the 600 hps there, but not with the LEDs ...but The light I have in the cabinet is a Pro-Grow 400

Honestly I don't know, as the lights are off while im at work, I believe the timer is working correctly, but there are no light leaks, (gorilla Grow tent) never had such an issue before, but im sure you guys are probably right, I have no idea what an OZONE generator is, golden tree is a great product...expensive but great. humboldts secret is the company i think

$290 per gallon!!!! holy shit, mj growers are nuts with their nutes :wink:

Does it say anything on the label of it's contents?, maybe like unicorn blood/24 karat gold flakes/pixie dust??lol

An ozone generator is used to neutralize odors/mold with O3...........heavy levels will stunt plant growth

anyways back to your grow..................be safe

Plants not finishing or not in a timely manner was a common problem in the early led days. They started putting 730nm diodes in the red/blue mix lights for that exact reason. The far red ratios must be off on the spectrum of that light.

Either needs a low kelvin white in the mix, a few small 730nm leds added on always on, or a 730 flower trigger to get things flowering normally I'd think.

Did you have Cal/Mag issue with the addition of LEDs.

keebo3000 · Jun 5, 2014

no I run calmg at 30mil per 5 gallons

keebo3000 · Jun 5, 2014

I don't understand why people are constantly hating on hydro Grow, this light is kicking ass. and every grow I see using Hydro Grow kicks ass. so why do people continue to hate on this product? does anyone know anyone who didn't have a great grow with these lights?

Alwaysneedshelp · Jun 5, 2014

Like you stated before - haters gonna hate. Water off a ducks back. I know a few that have this light and they love it.

keebo3000 · Jun 5, 2014

add me to your list cause this light is the bee's knees. lol

Alwaysneedshelp · Jun 5, 2014

I may look into them if I can't get things sorted. I have the 5w and I think I am burning my ladies. Light is all the way up and had to go to bloom only for flowering. I still have some blues in bloom mode but really want more.
