Rust spots are pretty common using that kind of light, most supplement extra calmag to keep that in check. If you follow around the qb growers it’s similar light and similar problems. You’re just driving so much photosynthesis it’s hard to keep up. If you’re following manufacturer’s schedule you’ll see that they are having to give a little more cal nitrate or cal carbonate.
You have 70 days listed, is that because breeder suggests it’s a 10 week flowering strain? Those are usually estimates and can be shorter or longer pretty common. All things considered, pistils look about right for entering week 7 of flower and she surely has a couple of weeks left.
Thanks. Yeah, extra calmag is in. I went in the mid cause 2 plants didn’t need it. Yeah, it’s ILGM GSCE. Listed as 70 days. I did use CO2 and had everything dialed in to max. Perhaps it shaved a week off.
How many watts is that light pulling from the wall and what size space are you covering with it?
If you don’t mind…
I’m not a big fan of LEDs… but these new QBs and your light are really trying to persuade me…
Oh ya… your girls are looking awesome…
Thanks! It draws 638 or the like. It is a slightly off square. It’s 4’ one way and like 3’8” the other. My scrog is the exact same dimensions. It is designed to ride 6” over a bloom canopy and 18-12” over a veg canopy and down as they get used to the power. It seems to do great work. The buds are on average 6-8” long and about 6.5-7.5” around. They are all rock hard and the room smells sooo strongly! I’m thinking they’ll finish the 3 days of this 6th week, do 2 more weeks end stage feed with oil and terpene enhancers, then a week of final phase.
@Loki I’m lovin’ the journal man! I’m actually going to be investing in the Spyder2x model right below yours for my tent grow here soon! Your girls look amazing can’t wait to see the final outcome!!
Its definitely a nice light! Very similar tech as quantum boards with a little different design. This light also has a few supplemental reds which aren’t on standard qb. The fluence lights come in a more commercial looking package with a little cleaner fit and finish, also have a little higher price tag.
I know you’re a DIY type of guy, I can help you layout a light just like this one too.
Ya … this light really seems to be working well from what I can see… I really want to see this grow finish out…
I will definitely be hitting you up when and if I go that route…

Seems we’re “neighbors” I also want a piece of that rec market if it opens. I even have a backer or two. Many such people should align on the ground floor, grab it up, and get too quickly established for much competition to matter.
Growing high quality organic buds in small batches is where it’s at. I’d like make a little money but also want to make sure anyone that can do the same can compete fairly.
The corporate large scale model is the bain of our society and they have manipulated any chance a small grower would have to compete.
I think one of the bud of the month guys is using a method call nutrient lock out flush. It’s my understanding from @TDubWilly that watering with high ph 7.5 to 8 will created nute lockout and causes the beautiful colors. He said it takes a couple of weeks in soil.
I grow in supersoil which also helps bring out the color. I used ff nutes my first time around and never got the colors I do now.
Nice. No, I don’t mean like mega corporate. More like how maplefield gas stations and Jolly’s seem to dominate here. They’re the best and have the best spots to sell. As to organic, certainly a worthwhile option on the menu board, but for me not an only. I use every trick known to god and man. The peeps I know just care that it’s almost trippy strong. Natural takes a distant back seat to power for them.
I love them. They still hold tons of water or nutes but the roots are superior by far to an equivalent 5 gallon pail. Better than cloth too but by less margin.
Cool. I’m using the 2.5 gal ones for my BBA and the growth is great. Just wanted to make sure it wasn’t just my expert growing skills . And your Forest is truly remarkable. I bet you get 2 elbows outta that
I sure hope so. Thanks! That would hit a personal best off 638watts! The buckets I use are almost 15 gallon airpots. Massive! Think next run is same setup but with a 35 gallon undercurrent pro with 2 plant spots!
