Yep I just realized the time you were typing I had the wrong person. Stoners trying to hold multiple conversations. LOL. I just upgraded to the spider 1000 along with my two 300w Amazon cheapos that I already had. Would like to get another light somewhere around the 150 to 200 to replace the cheapos. Even though they’re doing pretty good. Maybe another spider farmer 1000 or the hlg 100 R-Spec

My grow buddy in town uses SF 1000s in his tent, and he gets good results, I went with hlg cuz they are in US and can call them if I have a problem. Shipping is a couple days to here in Nevada

I just hear everybody talking about hlg and spider farmer. I watch a couple YouTube videos of people use spider farmer so I figured I’d give that a try. But everybody keeps wearing you out hlg. I figure if I get the hlg I can put them side-by-side see which one does better? I’m in the Rainy part of the Pacific Northwest

Yeah I bought 2 cheapo old style burple leds did 6 grows and doing fine 2 oz per plant, put in new lights and doubled my yields, 4 to 5 oz per. This grow I used old lights to start grow, hlg to finish. Next grow hlg 4k to veg 3k flowering. I only paid 55 bucks each for the 4k boards, will have to swap drivers and hangers, but that’s no problem. I would like to know if you buy hlg and see if there’s a difference lol

I want to make my own light. People keep giving me suggestions but it’s like sending me messages in a foreign language. I just don’t understand any of it besides the QB. For Quantum board.lol. and I could probably make it for a lot cheaper. on the other hand like I said I am curious to see what happens side by side with the hlg and I know what I’m looking at and buying. LOL

I wish they had those Rspec boards when I was buying, those would be great veg and great flower, it runs 3600k to 3700k, and has extra red… that’s exactly what I would want.

Well mid week and problems with both girls lol… Cal mag or not enough p k. Adjusted both last watering and so far only burnt top few fan leafs on Mexican airlines 5 weeks into flower.

and lemon berry in first week of flower is showing nitrogen burn or deficiency, top 1/3 which is all the newest growth from the streach. I’m thinking deficiency, cuz she just grew a foot answer im not stressing too much.

I think she’s as big as she’ll get, anyway I’m hoping. But thanks

Also buds on Mexican airlines are very frosty and she has nice lemony pine fragrance. Looks like she will give a couple ounces, but promise to be really good weed. You can smell her good in my bedroom lol can’t wait to taste this one.

did not get much streach out of this plant and could have been better to have changed light above her earlier in flower. I was following what I did in previous grow, not what I thought would be best for this grow. I would do different in future grows, that’s the great thing about growing you are always learning. But I’m finally getting rid of burples for good, I got new boards with more blue spectrum should work the same or better. All hlg from here on :smile:

She’s about as big as my sativa. Maybe just a tad bigger. My sativa is 39 in from the floor. But she’s in a 5 gallon bucket. I’m trying to lollipop and top as much as I can to keep her small as possible. LOL. She’s 5 months old so she shouldn’t stretch too much. One of her baby’s only stretched about 3 in.

by the way I still haven’t got a light that we were talking about the other day. Trying to get my night time humidity under control first

Yeah I’m in the desert no humidity lol… pot evaporation with two plants keeps it just right. Maybe a little high for flowering plant

@JB00 here’s my most recent grow, I use miracle grow potting mix, not recommended, but you can see I can do okay. I’m at week 8 here and have some issues but pretty happy. I just have lights and a fan in my closet small pots, but I get 2 to 4 ounces out of my autos and more out of my photos. I grow for fun now, my daughter says WHY Dad??? These plants are so fun I love it it’s also therapy for me. Anyway didn’t want to post a bunch on your thread…

Here at week 9 and so far so good, a little leaf discoloration on both, but different problems, but made corrections to feed and waiting for change. Mexican airlines is 6 weeks into flower and had a little Cal mag issue but seems to be doing fine. She is starting to turn pistols brown on tops but has at least another couple weeks or more. She sure smells awesome. Lemon berry is done streaching and buds are forming nicely but I think she’s a little over fed, she’s a little sensitive. Straight water for now. Waiting on new meters but new claw leaf says excess. Problems with mg potting mix and feeding organic fertilizers, some plants don’t take it well, others love it. Man you can tell there is a flowering plant somewhere the minute you walk in my bedroom, so lemony sweet :smile: anyhow here’s closet, Mexican airlines, then lemon berry.
