Sam's genetics? Not familiar with him/that company. Anymore info? Sounds nice.

Yeah, it's unfortunate how many locals I've spoken with lately that have been sold dud clones that grow crappy and don't produce. It's like people are selling clones of hemp around here :/

Well I got them when breeders retail was running. as a freebie along with the ancestral skunk, and sweet tooth x blockhead. I bought think it was chimeras seed site, but not for sure. https://www.realgorillaseeds.com/product-category/seed-boutique/sam-skunkman/ That’s where I got them from but it was just mail in no site yet.

What’s the name of your shop? Is it a dispensary? I prefer growing from seeds specific strains . My next seed purchase will be Chem 4. I only have a 4 x 2 tent right now and just grow for myself and husband, right now. Getting back into it after 3 years . I might have a wee bit of surplus eventually . I probably will need some more flower in a week because my Blue Cheese won’t be done until mid June , can you hook me up?

Looking good George! Just grew my first autos a few months ago, the Egyptian Sinai heirlooms from the Real Seed Company. Very surprised how good they turned out. I had always thought autos were less potent, but the Sinai wasn't bad at all. Super sativa like clear high and a fast flower time.

How many hours do you run the lights on for?

20 on 4 off. Lights go off at 1:00 pm and come on at 5:00pm. So far I haven’t had any issues with heat but being in a non air conditioned garage in Oklahoma in the middle of the summer could be a problem.

That’s a very nice light! How long have you had it and what were the deciding factors on picking that LEd light as opposed to others on the market like the California Lightworks 550 or copperhead 135 watt?

New grower so basically got my medical card around Christmas and ordered my set up when I got the tax return back. A buddy of mine works for skunk grow supply in Tulsa and he cut me a deal on this particular light. Never had another to compare it against. So far i’m satisfied but do understand there are better options out there. Quite the learning experience so far but I love it.

for quality American made LED lamps, look at Spectrum King LED.
I have 2 of their SK600s.
Also for you autoflower guys... check out Mephito Genetics... he's got the dank autos.
the only autos I'd personally consider growing.

You may be forgiven for not knowing that some of the very best American made LED lighting makers got their start right here on RIU. Spectrum King is not among them.

I understand several U.S. led companies got their start on RUI but while they are nice, none compare to Spectrum King imo. These companies you speak of couldn't hold SK's jock strap. I forgive you for not being aware.

I've seen SK's gear and spoken to them at trade shows.

At least become familiar with the vendors here before making blanket statements.

The fact that you got a decent run under them doesn't mean they're the best.

What’s the best? What would you recommend for my 2x4 tent?
Click to expand...
I have a light that @CobKits hooked me up with, it's pretty beast. It's in my 2x4 breeding tent that I just put together. I took this photo just a little while ago, they are about 23 days in. I just put rooted clones in there and put them directly to 12/12, just an experiment to make some femmed seeds hopefully.

I have the light dimmed to about 70 - 75 percentish as he built it overkill at my request with two more cobs than it really needs. I don't remember the exact parts he put in it but it's got eight 3500k cobs and two meanwell drivers 240 watts each I think.

HLG and Timber make great lights as well.

I emailed Timber asking what would be a good light for my 4x2 grow tent and they got back quickly with a response. Model 3V2. So when I went onto their site to read about it a chat box came up. I preceded to chat with someone who seemed quite knowledgeable and he answered all of my questions promptly. The light will last 10 years at 100% then declines to 70%. He said they give out less heat then LEDs and have white light. No ballast needed and comes ready to plug and perform. Sounds pretty good.

You'll find that all three of the companies I listed offer lights based on similar technology.

That efficiency deterioration schedule you mentioned above is possibly misleading; the lights only drop to 70% of initial output if they've been overheated or after much longer than 10 years. It's a theoretical maximum wear figure. The lights built here are so overbuilt that your grandkids will find them useful lol
