Im New to leds..BUT IM SO TORN between Advanced, Area 51, and Black Dog..Im Looking at the Pricing and based on what im seeing u guys post I could get way more bang for my buck buying Area 51 Now..I was looking at the Black dog bd360 and the Bd micro, I would love to get the BD450 But as i look at this pricing I could get two a51 135s for the price of one Bd360....How many plants could i grow under 2 a51-135s? Also Would i be happy with the yield? Im Using 2 600s With digilux bulbs Now? PLEASE HELP..
What are you yielding with two 600w ??? most likely are NOT going to get the same #'s with any of those options....If I had to pick one, I'd go with the retailer that tells you the led manufacture & BIN # so=======AREA 51 until the others wise up
Hows it going everybody? I have a few questions regarding setup that i hope some of you might be able to help me with. First, do you think adding mylar to my setup would significantly increase bud/quality output or can i wait until next grow to purchase some? Secondly, do you think 10 weeks of flowering will be enough time for bagseed because i was hoping to have to some free smoke for 4/20? Lastly, does anyone have any suggestions for nutes? Im only looking to spend at most $40 on nutes. Sorry for the lack of updates I should have some up tomorrow around noon. Take care everybody.
1 ?? yes adding reflective material will increase yield/ quality?? not that i know of....forget mylar paint your walls with this

2?? have no idea, buy a loupe/lit microscope (8 bucks at radioshack) and check it yourself for the best results.......everyone has different clear/cloudy/amber ratios/prefernces and it's highly opinionated, pick what you like...
3?? I'm a KISS guy so here you go ....chemical ferts:
http://www.hydroponic-research.com/ lol so easy has everything in it and is STRONG so it will last...can use it in hydro/cocco/soil==straight through veg& flower one product....bam
Organic SOIL/Cocco ferts: I personally like
http://www.aurorainnovations.org/elemental-dry-nutrients.html their uprising line (foundation/bloom/ skip the grow and buy their Nitro-bat guano) Don't follow their recommendations and go triple the amounts as a topdressing (thanks Hyroot!!)....It takes a little to dial it in, but their ingredient list is good for the price(growers house.com)
or
http://www.espoma.com/p_consumer/tones_plant.html straight through veg-flower/cheap can buy 4lb bag at HD for less than ten bucks(spring selection), I've used it with great results and almost impossible to burn any plant with it......decent ingrdients/ beneficial bacteria added in!!!
Organic hydro ferts: IDK about running organic ferts in Hydro setups , sounds messy and smelly
.......if you must any Fish emulsion product (alaska fish emulsion @ HD) will work but it is not 100% organic due to the heavy metals in it--franjan tried to ruin my love for this stuff
) or root organic buddha grow and bloom......still think it's a waste to run organics in HYDRO....
Don't need to spend big $$ on ferts, spend the big $$$ on genetics......i do neither because i can't keep a mom and use clones.....so it's a shit show/ha
My job is boring today........lol
