    2 lower power lights vs 1 higher power

    I ended up going OPTION C thanks to these guys, which is quantum boards - I know that doesn't answer the original question for you though. Generalizing, the quantum boards are around twice as efficient as a blurple, so I went with 2x HLG 65's (130 at the wall) for the equivalent of 2 x 300w...

    Just finished installing a second, hahaha, feeling dialed and ready for success.

    The higher CBD:THC ratio from the rudy in the autos really blows people away when I give a sample, and it's an interesting final product that is sliiiiiiiightly different than photo bud.

    2 lower power lights vs 1 higher power

    I actually just washed my hands after adding a compost booster/amendment mix to 6ga of "used" KindSoil/Roots Organic - after mixing/aerating it felt quite rich in my hands. I'm going to do a side-by-side test next run: 2 in amended / 2 in new pre-bagged - both layered as per instructions -...

    2 lower power lights vs 1 higher power

    Thanks for taking one for the team, every dollar I spend on gear/soil/shit puts me further away from getting back my initial investment, when the best case scenario is the other way around, with phat ounces of chronic coming out of my ears. Phil Kind was super awesome about compensating me in...

    2 lower power lights vs 1 higher power

    Overall though, as someone who just started growing in 2018 (after buying from a dispensary for a billion years), I've had it pretty easy and haven't had to buy *too much* useless shit, just a little :) Autoflowers, super soil (kindsoil), LED's, smart pots, and flouride free water and I'm...

    2 lower power lights vs 1 higher power

    Damn, there is the high quality low wattage panel I was looking for. I'm gonna meet in the middle and start with adding one of these to the blurple and see how she goes. All my autos are harvested and I'm doing my first run of photoperiods when it arrives. I'm really comfortable with LST at...

    2 lower power lights vs 1 higher power

    Thanks dude, that's the solid advice I was after. It's so easy to get your own idea in your head and just start buying shit with tunnel vision. I have been looking at nicer, but lower wattage COBS also as a third option that fits in-line with your suggestion (like something nice but 75w actual)

    2 lower power lights vs 1 higher power

    I have a 300w blurple pulling around 125 actual at the wall currently, my tent is 2x2x48 (4 ft/sq) I think my bottleneck is that I'm only sending around 30 watts per ft/sq, and after running 7 plants start to finish throughout the year I'm ready to optimize the space. (They were autos, and I...

    Autoflower flowering way too early

    Ironically my first auto was the tallest and highest yield I've had out of them yet. For the pair of fast buds girl scout autos I have now, they flowered pretty quickly without getting as big as I'd like, however they have super tight nodes so we'll see. The plant I didn't train last run was...

    seedling with seed shell stuck to it

    my 100% germ rate is over, MAYBE.......two fastbuds girl scout cookies autos, first two were fine, as usual - did what I always do (18 hr soak in my chlorine / heavy metal free filtered water, pop in paper towel under coffee cup, let taproot get at least 1/4", then i don't go too deep, just kind...

    Finally have a question - sex: yes please

    Oh yeah I was just showing off my "real" plant - but this ATF has me stuck - gonna have to repot for flower at this point if it does turn out female - still keeping the clone in darkness to see what I see (the top is starting to get prickly but the calyx sites aren't really changing)

    Finally have a question - sex: yes please

    It's actually not a feminized seed - I picked it out of a dispensary bud, and figured "Aw hell, lemme put this in some dirt and see what happens." - after that I caught the bug seeing it sprout and grow in crappy outdoor conditions - so I got good seeds + tent setup, and all the obsession that...
