Waiting to hear back quotes from some DIY COB companies. In the mean time I've been looking at pre-built LEDs. Might get a $600 600w to test in the 4x4, and if it performs well possibly just buy 3 more panels to form the 10x10 running only about 1600w actual all together.
Caterpillars seem to be under control after two neem oil applications and the physical removal of about 30 caterpillars total. Buds seem to be chugging along, although only running 200w of 6500k T5HO is leading to slow flowering (Can't complain for what I'm providing her with). Good news is...
Just subscribed to growmau5, SO IMPRESSIVE! 1.52g/w is unreal. You said you got 12/12.5 zips from a 600w? Does that mean you only got about .6g/w or does your 600w COBs pull less from the wall?
Thanks for the post, I was/am tempted to go with the HPS just because I currently have a 400w that I haven't had much issue with besides heat. 4x 600s would be really cheap but thats alot of heat and it looks like HPS is becoming outdated. Going to gather a little more information and then...
What confuses me is that would those 4x 500w be actually using 2000w? Ive taken a look at journals and seen things like "400w" led fixtures that when plugged into a Kil-A-Watt are showing something like 200w ( Check this for reference...
So checked on the girl today and found something strange. caterpillars. I moved her from outdoors to inside about 2 weeks ago now so they must be left over. They snipped off little pieces of the nugs here and there but she looks good. Shook her hard over and over for awhile and got about 20+...
Things in the 4x4 have been looking nicely, but i really have been craving the need to up the yields. Planning on purchasing a 10x10x6.5 ft tent within the next month, but am a little tripped up on lighting options. Initially considered 4x 1000w hps, but realized the heat and cost/usage would...
Got 3 little seedlings of the same stuff working their way up. Kind of stretchy because i have nothing to keep them close to the T5 but theyll be fine. Gonna run the girl 5-6 weeks and post pics every week or two. Shooting for 4-8 zips
Is this a 4x4 tent? If so i have the same going with a 4'x8 bulb T5HO. Currently have one in a 20 gallon container, but going to be a 2-3 plant 7 gallon scrog after this
So the real difficulty with this girl is that the previous owner made a few mistakes and by accidently flowered her in the Spring time outdoors, so she revegged until late august. I got her about 3 ago when she just started throwing out pistils. She wouldnt finish before the weather got too...
Friend couldn't take care of this girl anymore so she ended up with me. Here's two pictures with lights on/off. Curious to know how many weeks it looks like its been flowering and how many more should be left. Mostly indica strain
