Ok here we go, got the free light coming from mars and going to do a comparison grow to help people decide which lighting to go with.
Constantly people are asking what light to get for LED. This will be a comparison in my 2x4 tent, split into two 2x2 parts with a foam board (separating the light). The lights power draw will be measured and adjusted with a multimeter. I will take LUX reading before and after the grow, and go with recommended distances for each light from the manufacturer
At first, I will be cutting clones. After clones are taken these will all be potted into small pots. Medium will be Coco Coir DTW, Feed will be GH trio with some other additives.
The goal is to grow two plants basically exactly the same (I am wondering if I should keep the partition down until ready to flip) About 2-3 weeks before "flip" I will take the two most similar cuttings and transplant them, once they are ready for flip I was thinking put the partition up and see what happens...
Or I could use the two best cuts and keep the lights separate for the vegetative cycle as well.
I was thinking of doing a few toppings and a SCROG frame to make sure things are very even for this comparison so the experiment is very controlled.. Any thoughts or comments are very welcome here!
The mother plant is very compact growing and I need to make it stretch to take some nice clones. It is a Mother of Berries plant from TH seeds. This plant seems like it will be a nice scrog and stay small and manageable for the comparison
pics left to right.. Just transplanted 10 plants , mother of berries mother that isn't quite ready to give clones (very compact plant!), My 2x4 tent filled with all my work tools (disabled at the moment, had to turn in my work truck and this was the only spot I have right now to keep them), and a pic of my oxy cloner
