With the light moving, it's getting light to many areas a fixed light could not. Light ngles are always changing. One of my outdoor plants is getting maybe 5 or 6 of direct light mid day. Morning and evening it's indirect. Seems to be doing great. Could be apples to oranges though. That...

As far as temps go for me, I'm only concerned within the lights would be off. Assuming an 18/6 space and a couple 12/12 spaces. Could configure it to where there are always 2+ lights on. That would heat the space. It's going to be a good size insulated yard barn. I really like the concept of...

That is my concern. 100%. We are approaching cold weather. I'd hate to spend the coin on LED while expecting to have lower power consumption only to end up needing a power hungry heater to keep the environment proper. That was the only reason I've kept the HID's in the back of my mind. I'm...

This is a plant I allowed a related male to grow next to. The male was a very early pollinator. Growing in shallow soil. Only watered her once all year. Feeling like she was a decent candidate. I am impressed as to how she's handled staying hydrated this year. It was extremely hot and dry...

Here's my LST'd girl in my Ruth Stout bed. She's either going to go a long long time or she's not gonna be real heavy. But going to be fire. This is a Chemdog Cookies bagseed. Water only. Roughly 7 feet wide by 30 inches high at the most. I've got to do some kind of support for her. They're...

Appreciate that tid bit. I've got sulfur gassy well water. I'll give that a try too.

@OldDude420 youre not hindering anything w your pics. I always enjoy looking at others successes.

ThThat's the exact YT video that prompted me to ask yalls opinion. He claimed 5 to 6 # crop off a single LED and a mover. I could run 4 of those in this space. That'd tickle me pink! Assuming real world results. And assuming my plants can pump that kind of flowers out. The light he's using is a...

@medidedicated very nice! You make some good points that I hadn't considered. Sound like it's still practical to veg under t5's. Which I like. You mention light ncidences... what kind of issues do people run into? Thanks for the brand names. There's so many it's confusing.

You've done very nice work with them. They look super happy. I wasn't even in my dad's nut sack yet when you were growing outside. . (Ive always wsnted to say that!) I hear some interesting stories of the herb genetics from back then. I have some older seed a family member gave me I'd like to...

That makes sense. Thanks. The terminology and concepts are throwing me for a loop. Lol. Are the 600w leds equivalent to the 1000w hps lights we used way back when?

Very nice crop, my friend! Appreciate your thinking out loud with me. It's helping. The power % dial is pretty neat. I assume they are turned down in veg and increase power in flower? What flavor do ya have there?

Shiiiit. Share those pictures, I say! That's how I learn. They look fantastic! Would that 600w LED be comparable to a 600 hps from years past? Or more comparable to a 1000w hps? Do you think it's providing all the light the 4x4 could possibly need?

I understand that. Tried a mover back in the day w an hps. I wondered though if it could negate the need for two lights in a given space and allow 1 light to achieve what two, or 1.5 could. Being that LED have improved to the degree it seems they have. Outdoor my plants aren't in full sun all...

Thoughts about a strong LED on a mover? Pro/Con? Looking at doing a couple 4x8 or 5x10 spaces.

I've got root riot plugs on hand. Domes, trays. All that. I've never tried it simply placing in a glass of water. I figured they'd get funky and rot. Does it need an airstone or anything to keep it oxygenated? Or fresh water daily? I love the KISS approach to anything.

I'm going to do a multi-faceted approach to guarantee something survives. Lol. It's been 10+ years since I've cloned cannabis. And I've never cloned something in flower. So going to try the air-layer method, take actual cuttings, and figure I might as well try digging them up and attempt a...

I appreciate that. Have a good one!

Apoligies ahead of time as im sure this is a topic that gets beat to death... I use to run tent scrogs under HPS lights and fared pretty well. LED's were garbage at the time, but that has obviously changed. Lol. I see a hellacious price spread on them. I am sure there is a quality spread as...

I've got 3 coffee cans of seed. Half of which I made, the other half coming from bags. If I find a couple seed in bottom of a # of fire, I label and keep. Most of them have been female. And pretty dang good. I'm a big fan of bagseed. Given, it's been years since I've bought seed, but I didn't...
