Any ever hear of BLOOMSPECT? My buddy had these two and sold the pair to me for $20.

Has a dimmer but I'm unsure what the drivers are if anyone has any experience with these or more specs? It's the BloomSpec SL1000 (100w true power)

Going to use it in a small clone/mom tent.

Was it pink light, what was your medium/setup? It's not the safest but kind of stealth.

It's a white light. That was an old picture with a blurple that I started some seeds with.
It was in a 5 gallon plastic pot that I punched a bunch of holes into to simulate an air pot. I had a 95 cfm 4" exhaust fan exchanging the air and sucking some of the heat off the light.
The medium was Pro-Mix in the red bale from walmart to which I added perlite [about a quart]
For nutes I started out giving it 1/4 tsp of Dyna gro Grow per gallon every 3 days or so then about half way through switched to GH Maxi bloom 1 tsp per gallon every 3 or 4 days [when it felt dry]. I did that until harvest.
I ended up flowering it for 13 weeks, it just kept foxtailing. I think the heat was causing that. I had no way of cooling it [Tucson in the summer in my garage].
I ended up with a little over 5 oz's of dried and trimmed bud from that plant.

Here's a better picture of "the box".
This started out as a place to start some seedlings and the subject Gelato clone.
Meanwhile the plants in my tent took longer than expected. The Gelato got so big it was dwarfing the seedlings which got moved to the 3 x 3.
So then it became an experiment to see if I could block enough light to induce it to flower.
That's what the black tape is for. It worked quite well as you can see.
It also got so tall I had to extend the boxes flaps to give me more height.
You can see the blurple light in a bucket by the box by the way.
I'm thinking I got some extra CO2 from the water heater right next to the box.
Bottom line the Bloomspect SL 100 will grow some good pot.

Nicely done, good stealth if the flap isn't open! How were the temps?

That led light in the bucket, this is both stealth and ghetto. But I think 100w is to much for that space?
