    Cheap PAR meter AND accurate!!!

    Thanks for the info.. I just paid the $5. Figured what the heck. I’ll spend that at a coffee shop. It actually seemed to do a decent job and the diffuser was def needed. I am a simple hobby guy and not going crazy (yet) so an estimated number works for me. I did see on Amazon they had a decently...

    HLG 550 V2 RSPEC to much for a 3 x 3?

    I like what everyone has to say. I agree with KK26.. Get the most knowledge you can and say F-it and give it a whirl. We learn from there. I’m going to have fun anyway it goes.. Maybe not too much fun if they all die. But this is a cool hobby for me. And I love all the input. You guys really go...

    HLG 550 V2 RSPEC to much for a 3 x 3?

    These new LEDs are allegedly just as good. Notice I said allegedly but i have read about so many falling in love. I decided screw it. YOLO i believe people say. I’ve always liked to live on the edge. This is strictly a hobby. So as long as something decent comes out that I can sit back and chill...

    HLG 550 V2 RSPEC to much for a 3 x 3?

    Wow nice looking plants. And the only reason why I am getting the light I bought is because of reading these message boards. I value and consider all that is said. Like the gentleman early who said maybe those grow pots would not be ideal. He actually has me thinking and second guessing now...

    HLG 550 V2 RSPEC to much for a 3 x 3?

    I have read this. The allure about it is that I’ve read articles where people will actually use a soil combo mix and just use plain water instead of adding nutrients which are the cause of the clogs. I believe during bloom is the only time you would add some nutrients. I had bookmarked the...

    HLG 550 V2 RSPEC to much for a 3 x 3?

    Was thinking of also going with the autopot 4 watering system. 3.9 Gallon pots. I’m a little obsessive as you will see. I used excel to try and figure out if the 4 pots would fit ok in the 3x3 tent. I would put the reservoir outside of the tent. Every box represents an inch and I took the...

    HLG 550 V2 RSPEC to much for a 3 x 3?

    Good to know. I’m learning day by day. I’ve read a book about it last year and have been reading these message boards. I finally pulled the trigger and I bought the light fixture and a Gorilla 3 x 3. After a few years of research and thinking i’m taking the leap. (Helps that my kids are grown...

    HLG 550 V2 RSPEC to much for a 3 x 3?

    Thank you for that helpful info. I’m so new to indoor growing but I have a feeling I’m going to fall in love. I’m in the North east so being able to grow in the winter will be fun. I am excited to get my list together. I’ll probably pull the trigger tonight and buy most of my stuff. Luckily I...

    HLG 550 V2 RSPEC to much for a 3 x 3?

    I’ve been building and using hydroponics for years in a greenhouse but this will be my first attempt at indoor growing and never used indoor lighting. My kids are finally leaving the house so I have some privacy now. I might go with a larger tent in the future but wanted to start small. It is...
