Scrog help !

Hi all reporting back after the advice given a couple of weeks ago ! I’m now 9 weeks into flower ! And they look much better than previous . Still not achieved big bids as such but I’m guessing that’s a light issue . Would you guys say these are ready to come down ?? Thanks ! 09176341-71D1-439B-8671-30CE88F0CFEF.jpeg

Looking good man. I'd say one more week for some more amber trics but that depends on your taste. Most trics look cloudy to me

Thanks mate ..... do you think the lack of bud size is due to lack of light ?? I’m informed the lights I’ve been using are actually only 150watt output . Not the 1000 I bought them as

If they are only 150W then most likely, yes. You should upgrade to something more powerful.
 
I will be doing for certain this time ! I did have some good size stuff on my last round . But didn’t scrog and I’m presuming because there was less tops they got more light ? Do you have suggestions on lights ?

What size is your tent and what lights are you using? They look like mars hydro if I'm not mistaken

It’s an 8x4 tent . 8 plants . And yes I bought ts1000 I think they was ( thinking they was 1000’s ) how wrong I was

You want at least 2 times the power for that size. I would advise you using some quantum boards that have samsung lm301b or lm301h diodes. They are the best in the market at thiS time. I am using Spiderfarmer but if your budget is higher, you could go for DIY. If not, you could buy 4 more Spiderfarmer SF1000.

I’ll have a look about mate thankyou . I’ve been told I should have around 900w ideally for this size area ...

That is correct. Search the forums, there's a ton of information and LED models, even more advanced ones that I am not aware of. This question has been asked many many times before. I am sure you will find what you are looking for. Best of luck mate and congrats on the ladies, they look gorgeous given the amount of light you are using :weed:
 
Agree that for LEDs, 35-45 watts/sqft without CO2 is optimal, but that's over plant canopy. Take into account aisle ways, etc, and you can scale your lighting accordingly. Personally, I'd calc it with 8 sqft of aisle and 24 of canopy , so at the low end, 35 x 24 = 840, so your estimate of ~1000 watts is pretty close. You might consider putting together a diy for easily under $1US/watt that would absolutely kill it.

Nice grow, by the way. You appear to have the requisite green thumb, and the same impatience the rest of us suffer from. ;-) They'll be ready when they're ready. Check with seasoned growers before cutting.
