Storing Trim...decarb and tincture or decarb and freeze?

Is the trend moving away from COBs? It seems like they filled a gap between old LEDs and the new gen LEDs. Is that true?

Yeah so after jaring up everything last night after the dry I could tell I need more light for sure. Buds turned out loose and airy. Given what I learned from this grow I can’t wait to adjust the lighting.

I’ll have to check out timber, never heard of them. Got a link to anything specific?

2 lights I’m looking at right now are... HLG 320 XL V2 (x2) HLG 600H V2 (x1) Anyone have any thoughts on these?

L So this is where I ended up on my very first grow. The extra thick canopy was a product of vacation right at the wrong time and ended up with over grown veg I couldn’t get under the net. Live and learn. As you can see I had to supplement in the far edges as the buds were not developing...

Nice lights. What did you go with for what size tent?

Thank you for the honest post. It’s not that I don’t realize that Lexus are better than Chevys but sometimes you have to consider your budget and get what you can. That being said I have a couple months until I would make the switch (don’t want to go through trying to swap out lights mid grow...

I’m not debating that the others are better. Are you saying these don’t look healthy? I get this is my first grow and I’m not discounting people with experience, I just see bud sights growing and I see the sugar leaves frosting up. If someone says they are worthless than I would expect none...

One of the main reasons I chose LED was heat. The 2 x 600W Vipar with an exhaust fan keep this tent right where I want it with no additional cooling. My goal is to run year round with no additional cooling. HPS etc generate a lot of heat.

It’s not like I’m getting garbage results, so the Vipar can’t be complete crap.

Now I know Viparspectra are not end game Lights, I knew that going into this. I balanced budget with output. Now yes there are tons of great options out there and I did a little research on the HLG and found this would likely be the light I would need, so instead of $325 I would be looking at...

This was the end of week 4 of flower. Still have several weeks to go, but already looking frosty!

I’m about halfway through my first grow and noticing some areas of improvement. I run a 4x4 RDWC setup circulating roughly 35 gal of water. I currently run 2 x Viparspectra 600W LED. The center of the grow is rock solid but the corners seem weak. To maximize this space, my thought is to add...
