It’s Mom’s basement now!

I bought (2) HLG 100 V2 4000k (I bought the one that’s mostly for veg) the 3000k version is better for veg/flower. I don’t plan to flower with these lights, just veg. I’ve only been running one in the tent but now that they’re getting bigger I should probably add the 2nd light in there to get better corner coverage. I need to redo my wiring anyway, I have power strips plugged into ext cords and those plugged into other power strips, which I’ve recently read is a big no no. Wish I had an electrician in the family!

At the bottom of the South Pacific our selection is somewhat limited, prices are high and no options for re ferbs, example would be a hlg 300 a few buck back from 900

Just put up the 2nd light and spread out the girls so everyone has more arm room, 3 & 5 gallon grow bags coming today so tomorrow they’ll get to stretch their legs. With the 2nd light up its a warmer 76° with 74% humidity in the tent with fans on lowest setting, first time the humidity has been lower than the temp or temp higher than humidity, however you want to look at it, it’s an environmental improvement, we’re going in the right direction!

Maybe become good buddies with spmeone who can order u them and ship it to u if it would be ofna cheaper route. Shipping something person to person seems to be super outrageous in price. Its insane. Most cost for stuff is probably due to shipping reasons

If the added 360 watts of 6000k bright white led lights help increase my tent I’ll wait until It’s a need to upgrade lights but right now I’m running a multiple mix of 3 different lights spectrums with the most UV I could combine from what I was able to scratch together.

Used a little soil from last years grow, added fresh Stonington blend so about a 50/50 Mix, added lobster meal, kelp, perlite, and some dynomykos for the transplant into 3 gallon bags

First time using Dynomyco, I’d say it works well! This 2qt was transplanted from a solo cup 1 week ago and I only watered it during the transplant, so 1 week root growth with no water. I’m impressed.

You guys seen those plastic commercial bread racks they stack loaves on, kinda like a milk crate but for bread? I’ve seen a few hanging around behind the grocery store next to pallets, I’m thinking that might work in the tent, upside down, with my turkey roasting pans underneath to catch the runoff water, they’re a little bigger than the plastic shelves I have in there now, and if I get a few of them it might be a good setup for my 5x5. I might go trash picking in the morning before work :rofl:

Score! Even got my favorite color lol. A little pine sol bath and I think these are going to work, they’re 30”x22.5x6” and the little tent is 32x32, big 5x5 so yeah, more tent Tetris :joy:

Today’s pic. They’re really showing strong growth, I can see a difference even from this morning when I checked in.

They had their pine sol spa and towel service lol, like brand new! They fit like a glove, literally, like I had to push them down into the tent frame, I guess I didn’t measure inside the poles. But it’s perfect! Trays slide in/out easy. Pretty much the same height as the other setup so I didn’t have to adjust the lights.

@J.Gro ate those the 100 V2 4000k HLG quantum Samsung boards with the added red for veg/flower ?
In a 2x2x5 tent or a 3x3 ?
The reason I’m asking , I negotiated a deal to run 2 of those 100 HLG on side of my 315w PGZX CMH fixture to get a better canopy coverage in a 4x4x7 tonincrease my bud weight are to have a more even canopy spread to fill out my trellis for a 4 plant autopot scrog grow .
I have one ordered due to only one per customer in the mail and I’ll be ordering the second tomorrow. But my big upgrade investment is to get one of the big panels and I’m optimistic on which one to get as of now. I’m still trying to figure out my options between the new marshydro Led panel for a 4x4 or 5x5 , of course HLG Scorpion Diablo 650 Rspec , are the 650S Slim Dimmable that has all 3 spectrums with a dimmer switch for the whites and uv , one for the red and infrared , and one for the blue as well , but I will be following to see how well your 2 100 are performing being I’m about to be experiencing those two powerful Lil panels from what I’ve read so far for 95watts draw of power , pretty impressive how big of a punch that Lil panels can do .

Yes these are the HLG 100 v2 4000k, They’re in a 32x32 tent. I had bought 2 and was only running 1 of them until last week, needed a broader canopy after transplanting.

So I just hung up this fly trap tape and forgetting I had just hung it up, I leaned into the tent to rotate a plant and got my face stuck to the fly tape :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
Please tell me I’m not the only one who’s done this lol
