Thanks for the support, and i will get more macro shots tomorrow when i update. I never actually recommended any amount or specific spectrum. I did at one point say that i believe many spectrum to be good, i did, however, follow that comment with the notion that leds with limited spectrum seem...

For sure, if your cabinet has good air circulation any co2 added will likely pass through like said. I altered my cabinet so that the lower area where the plant is does not pass through too quickly. As co2 is heavy, this keeps the plant mostly covered. I vegged the plant for something like a...

Haha thanks man! In a few weeks ill be chopping her down. Thats where the numbers will tell us how i did. I think the light could do a bit better, just by how big the ancillary branches are, which was my fault ofc. I also believe more fine tuned nutes and constant co2 with the climate for it...

How big is your space? i will try to find the site i used for the info, it has the formula for the math.

Ah and for anyone wondering, the diy co2 is very easy to maintain. About once a week i remove half the water and fill it again with warm water and about half a cup of sugar. I usually start a small glass of water/sugar/pinch of yeast on its own to get it activated, then add that too. If broken...

Right on :)

My big advice would be to take the plants out or bring another light in here and there. The LEDs make it really hard to read the leaves because of the odd colors. I would stick with WW for a few grows as well. It's just such a great strain in so many ways, and having expience with the same...

I wouldn't spend my money on it. I would bet it's closer to 15w, but even at 30w they are the wrong LEDs. Ultimately your really not going to grow anything with it. LEDs are still pretty expensive, but the cheaper ones (that actually work) can be found for about 1$ a watt. Just beware that some...

Thanks! It's a fun sight to find just a door away.

Yes i believe as full of a spectrum as possible is beneficial, though as many of you know these LEDs, which are missing a fair bit of ranges, seem to grow just fine. On your 730 LEDs, when they are on, can you see any visible light? If its true 730 it should be infra red and have no light...

Well theres the problem, your actually believing the marketing haha. Of coarse they are going to inflate the footprint specs and tell you its equivalent to a 1k, they are in the business to make money. If were talking about blackstar, they will also tell you they won a bunch of competitions with...

Plasma referring to a metal halide plasma (most common system today) run very cool compared to hps, but they also use significantly less wattage so it would be easy to see why they run cool. Sulfur plasma, even the 1300w deals, run quite a bit cooler than a 1000w hps, but its still something...

Nice looking bush :) That sucks that your light arrived without a power cord! thats pretty shitty for sure. Luckily my spectra has its power cord attached, i guess it simplified shipping and organization back in the day :p

Ah. that makes sense. Most people should know by now that a (for example) 3w led loses a lot of efficiency, life, and alters spectrum when driven at the full 3w, so hopefully people dont bring that complaint in here. For the money those lights seem to win out a lot. That light plus some...

Thanks! I have noticed that there were fewer pistils this round than usual. I'm going to do a bit of research to see if that's due to lower temps, nutrient choice, or the led light even. Also sorry for the crappy macro shots, i really didn't have the time to play with settings to get some...

Hoping for a few zips, but dont think i will improve my g/w on this one. we'll see! they have a few more weeks to go (though they look to be an early finisher), might pack on some weight still :) Not sure how the smaller side buds look, i havent even checked haha

UPDATE PICS!!!!!! (finally) So these pics were yesterday, but im calling them week 5 pics anyway. Hope they swell up some more!

Thats all the pics so far. Its looking great, cant wait to chop her down. Sure hope she swells some more since she certainly isnt getting taller. haha. One of these days i will get in there and examine the littler buds to see how they are developing. to be honest, i havent even checked.

Thanks! I am pretty excited myself. By what version i meant there are about 3 different version of the Spectra 500, more so there are 3 generations or more. Just try to ask what version it is if they know. UPDATE TIME!! FINALLY :p

As a general rule of thumb, 1 plant per square foot in a sea of green setup (in which you flower clones, about as soon as they take solid root) if you are LSTing i would do two plants, meeting in the middle. A scrog, like mentioned, can be just one plant with a longer vegetative period to make...
