I've also got a dormgrow g8 450w that actually draws 340w and the 300w draw cob from Amazon draws less watts, is stronger, also adjustable, and a third the price of the dormgrow
I run Amazon cobs. 100w chips that draw at 50w max and have variable voltage knobs. Various manufacturers undercut each other constantly so I'm price concerned not brand particular. Just look on Amazon or Walmart for "cob led grow light" I think I payed around 120 or 140$ usd for a 6bulb that...
Also, no. Not "everything is important" spectrum is not that important. If u think so cool. I'm just trying to answer the op's question. You guys are arguing with someone for sharing an opinion and you're making yourselves look really ignorant. I have experimented with everything under the sun...
That's exactly what I'm saying. I didn't bash cfls. I'm saying sometimes these are apples to oranges discussions sometimes and do what works not what marketers want.
If a CFL had the perfect spectrum it doesn't mean it can throw the light farther that 4 inches with any effectiveness. Apply the same theory of thought to realize that spectrum not only isn't everything, its actually one of the least important variables in your grow. Put your money into good...
Lol ok it's "just stupid" to buy the light with the most actual par spread and to ignore marketing gimmicks about different spectrums. I guess it's "my loss". We're trying to grow weed. Max light. Spectrum means fuck all. I've made my statement you can go ahead and pay extra for some cute...
You are in a great position to experiment with them all and maybe you'll come to the same conclusion as me. Plants care about light, ADVERTISERS and FANBOYS care about spectrum. Imho yes the light bandwidth does play a role, but it's far more important to give the plant wattage and even par...
He said over a month old and ppm under 200 this isn't rocket science that stuck out like a red flag he should be feeding upwards of 8-900ppm at that age of plant. Seriously. I bet $ this dude starved his plants to death.
He described the exact symptoms of underfed dwc. He stated his ppm was far lower than it should be at this age of the plant. Also we probably never heard back from him cause many of the above suggestions are all a recipe to make his situation worse. Here's a pic of a week three from seed sour...
