First off thanks for all the info over the years, I usually follow on another site but wanted to reply here because this is where I first began and since this is my first post I think it is fitting. I ordered the 180 watt unit near the end of your 600 watt grow and all I can say is this light is great! I grew out one white berry from seed in a 5 gallon smart pot with 4 weeks of LST in veg and harvested 5.75 oz dry weight! So any of you growers that are on the fence like I was you will not be disappointed.
Keep up the great Irish, work your making all of us better!
I am Glad your happy with ur lights! it makes sense to post ur 1st post at the founding place where ur journey started.
that is amazing yield from the 180w, just made me very happy, because my Casey Jones under the 180's and kicking ass! they have been flowering for 1 week and are already shooting out tons of hairs at all the bud sites, ive never had a plant flower so fast, usally it takes 2 weeks. they are happy as hell with the 180's.
Now my organic Jack Herer thats using the Xtreme Gardening products and teas are crazy! they are suck a beautiful green that ive never seen before! I have a ton of preflowering with resin all over the buds sites and i am not even flowering yet just vegging still, ive never ever seen that before either!! i am for a lost of words? all i know is i like it and its going to be some super frosty buds i think?
Congrats on that yield my friend thats a very very good yield for a plant!
Hi Irish Boy,
Just letting you know that I received my 300 LED for Christmas from Mike @ growledhydro. Seems like a great guy and gave me a decent discount on the light. Unfortunately he was out of the 300 off lights..... but still gave me a good price. Will buy again from Mike and wow... what a light! Surprised me with how quick it got here and very thankful with his concern for my family.
I'm still trying to get all equipment together and soil like you have in the beginning post.
Your plants are looking great and most likely I'll be starting with clones in my GL 120. (4 plants best in there?).
Hope you don't mind giving me direction as I'm reading but don't know if all info is pertinent with LED growing.
- Peace
Hey buddy!
I am Glad Mike took Care of you, he is a very good guy from the times ive talked to him. He's not into scamming people like other led company's. I heard that those 300's that were on sale for cheap were gone, those things go fast, but i am glade he still gave u a discount on ur order.
That 300w is bright as hell right?lol.
Ive had better results using less plants in my grow area's. so 4 plants would be very good in ur tent. ive gotten more yield from 4 plants then i did from 6 big plants, because their not fighting to space and light and shading each others bud sites. sometimes less is more.
my Favorite medium is Sun Shine#4 ive had the best results using that. if ur temps are hot them just use as is, if its colder in ur space and a little bit of perlite. always add 100% perlite to the very bottom of ur pots to help the drainage of the water. Dont need allot just enough to cover the drain holes on the bottom.
When watering try to water with something that waters like a shower head to create more O2 in the water and not make ur medium compact so much. always let tap water sit out for a day or 2 to let the chlorine evaporate, Filtered water might be best if ur city water is crap.
Get some Seaweed mix from the hydro store or online and just give ur girls that at 1st it will help them thrive and grow like crazy and it just dose so many things. Do a Google search on it for plants to see what i mean. The best thing you can feed a plant for sure!
any questions feel free to ask. i know a thing or 2 about growing and will try to help you.
