No way dude. Decent light but 4 plants? Nope not unless they are like four of those 12/12 from seed or mini plants. If you want to grow the typical 5 gallon trees vegged a month or more try only one. Maybe two max, if you suppliment with some additional light.

Everyone should start with cfl's. After dealing with the heat, multiple bulbs, and daily battle of rigging them all close enough....you will quickly appreciate going into to a real HID light. Incidentally I moved from cfl and slightly fluffy bud, to LED and dense sticky nugs. Worth every penny...

This is what I used to pump up the volume in flowering. 105 actual watt 2700k cfl's! Watch it these will burn you babies if they touch, but they have the juice to get the party started ;-)...

Youre good those will work. I prefer nothing less than 23 watt 100 watt equivalent cfl's myself. But 60 watt equivalent will do. Thing to remember about cfl's is this: 1. Proximity- they need to be close to plants 1-3" away max! That means that as it grows you got keep positioning them from...

My experience with autos. They transplant fine, however I'd do one transplant in your case, straight into a 5 gallon pot after maybe 2-3 weeks. Just get it in a 5 and not 3 gallon pot, and you'll only have to do it once, and save allot of stress for her. Also do transplant when she on the dry...

Last plant was vegged 30 days then flowered. Took what seemed like 2 additional weeks to even show its sex. By vegging longer, on average, how long will it take for a plant to show sex? I am assuming that even vegging 24/7, a plant will eventually show pre flowers? This of course while still...

I have yet to have a real issue with my Kessil's. The 150's and 350's run cool and consistent with very little noise.

Ok to chime in I use the stuff and it works. My first grows were decent without them yes. But I've seen more weight, and dankness using them. My grows are so small I just buy small amounts (like 250ml) bottles. According to the small amounts used at specific stages of growth....I get several...

How do you go about planting? Is it better to say veg a girl under nice indoor conditions and place her outdoors a month or so later? How about watering? Do you just go by rain and mother nature? Of course youd water if you went more than maybe 4-5 days without rain? What if you water and then...

Yup some say blue spectrum light loke MH has more potent flowers. I go for a mixed spectrum though.

My previous experience with flowering was fantastic with two Kessil H350's. I simply hung both at 24" over a single 5 gallon blueberry lady. As flowering progressed I lowered them to 16". One was deep purple and the other magenta. I did not need to suppliment any CFL with this amount of light...

Interesting info Mohican, thx! So do you stick with the reccomended 18" for H150 and 24" for the H350? Or do you get them up a little higher because of the intensity? Wondering what heights you find to be the sweet spots for the individual Kessil models? You also mentioned how they can damage...

Im sticking with my two part base nutrients. Iguana grow and bloom. Every strain I've grown seems to love the shit. No issues with nutrient burn either. The grow is 3-1-3 and bloom 4-3-6

I have checked and checked again and the PPM of my water is 0 PPM. I have a good calibrated blue lab ppm pen and ph pen. The PPM consistantly reads 0 on my tap water. It only starts to show a teading when I add things to the water. The PH reads high though about 8.2 I guess a zero PPM is a good...

Good look. My first grow went well with CFL. But the bud was a little airy or fluffy with that type of light. Still got plenty high though, decent smoke can be had from cfl's. Now I have graduated to LED and the buds are solid, dense, and sticky. Anyway one tip, when you get ready to flower...

Yes seed straight into soil cup. I use a heat mat under cup until I see the sprout break the soil. Then put a cfl on it right away. I really dont get the whole paper towel, soaking, or other rituals. Just put it in dirt, water in, and wait.

Ok you are making it clearer for me. Please share some tips youve learned for making these Kessils the most useful please. Distances for different models from plants etc? I have 2 H350, 1 H380, and 2 H150's. If anything, it may be too much for my 2X2.5X7 ft. tall tent.

Thanks for the info Mohican. Kessils seem to be efficient lights, and they no doubt grow good meds. The comparison of actual output though, will always be made between led spots like Kessil and led panels like california lightworks, black dog, and apache etc. I dont understand why Kessil doesnt...

Yes I always do distilled water. I also use happy frog mixed with added perlite. At the stage you are at, I like to mix nutrients into distilled water first, then ph down to 6.5. I also monitor the PPM of the nutrients as well, to see how strong it is with this and that added to the nutrients. I...

Heres my method for straight into soil: 1. Get 2 those small 4-6 oz solo cups (shorter the better) and poke holes in one of them for drainage. 2. Get a cheap heat mat, I use one of the narrow window seal type. 3. Fill the cup with drainage hole with happy frog mixed with perlite (or your choice...
