Thanks for that, I've been on- and off-line for a while, I probably missed that when you first posted it. Is that a dry weight?

I've got my two 120's (4000k) over one plant, but since they will only be lighting it for the last 6 weeks +/- of flowering (as opposed to its whole life), its not a fair test. Good to know about the potential though, thanks for doing that!

I don't weigh anything until its smokable:bigjoint:
We will see the potential of the 200watt optic this run. Heavy yielding Indica under it now.
Your welcome here anytime bro.

Thanks for that. :)

Yeah, I figured it was dry, its just so far beyond anything I've produced in my first grows that it kind of blows my mind.

But I have been steadily upgrading my lights, the two small grows I have going now are pretty close to state of the art (the pair of Optic 120's in a 2x2.5, and a six Cree DIY in a 4x2), so we'll how that lighting effects the harvest.

Sorry again if I'm rehashing old news, but it looks like you are growing in dirt? I'm trying to figure out what the primary elements of high yields are, and there is some pull to either hydro the middle ground, hempy buckets.

I will definitely be doing some experimenting in that direction, thanks for the info. I've been using almost the same soil mix for three grow cycles so far, but steadily upgrading my lights. It will be interesting to see what happens when I use a different medium.

I only use Black Gold when I don't have any Coco. Doesn't happen very often ,but when Amazon is Late with the Cocogro/Cocotek. I run down garden center and Dump 1 bag per 5 gallon Fabric Pot. Works good but brings the gnats.

I have had gnats before but they never thrived. I have had some serious infestation this time around I will never be using soil again. Too much aggro. Bubble buckets are my fav to grow in. Coco coming in a close second. First time I used it I had a weak start as I didn't read up properly on it being neutral and my plants were seriously under fed :/

Heavenbright 260watt V2 Vero29 3000K The oil has been very piney(Headband) leaning SweetTooth x BlueberryHeadband, Medium yielding and smoke is strong.
My opinion so far on the V2 is that's its very powerfull and reflectors work good over freeair.29s are stayin cool and I check weekly.

Operating distance from canopy is 20-24inches. Any closer than 20in and your asking for trouble.

Cool, a new model. I'm sorry if you allready stated it but what is the brand / company name for this model ? I didn't even know that silicone optics was a thing... :)

Thanks for sharing.
