Lookin boss there Lax man. nice colours to the #6 to boot.

Bloombastic is lazy man feed imo. yeah it works but so do the alternatives you mentioned at less than the price for all combined.

I got a sample bottle of bloombastic to try.
All my mates have been using it for years.
I normally just use Levingtons Tomatorite with great results and will continue to do so.
Just base nutrients will grow as good a plant as all that snake oil

Yes, my mates bulk buy to get it a bit cheaper.
Ive used a few different nutrient brands over the years in compost and hydro and they all done the job including miracle grow.
It's concentrated stuff , the bloombastic so I ec,d to 1.2 of Tomatorite and topped up to 1.5 with bloombastic. pH 6.8
Dosed them twice around week 5.

dude, when you've started growing them, what was the initial distance between your COB x4 and the soil, in the seedling stage? were you using both sides of the COB4 or just half of it?

I thought the lenses on these panels were not as intense as the od and god models! :? Seems maybe they are as intense.

I think Budmaster should do this with all their panels! Get the light bouncing round at all angles, by having really wide lenses. Light bouncing off the walls, everywhere, to increase the overall plant yield, by not stressing the plants out with intensity on the tops and causing bleaching. For me that is the only downfall with Budmaster. I have used several Budmaster leds and other than the intensity being a bit heavy, they are great leds and always paid for themselves more than once over, in the 1st grow. I did grow over 10 ounces with their 450xg (300w draw) in a 2 1/2 ft tent! That was a great led! Less par, but you can run them very close to the canopy, so the plants loved them!

Give me a choice of any Budmaster panel these days, I'd take the Budmaster 675xg! 12''-18'' off the canopy, the xg range is excellent That's their cheapest range! Brilliant veg led too!

If you look in some of your photo's there are shadows quite close to the tops, so the tops are taking all the light. Maybe you'd be better off running them at angles?
