I am getting a better job so I can buy another tent kit. Was thinking about the 4x4x6ft kit not sure if I wanna go ac infinity, spider farmer or mars hydro. I like what I read an results I am seeing with them. I’m still gonna use the 2x2x5ft tent I got and i like the results from Lotus Nutrients. Just get the bug lol
I’ve been watching a bunch of videos mainly like documentaries on training and the difference between HST,LST and other things one can do. I’m gonna be starting a photo that I plan to use an chiropractic like bend/break to the stems like a bonsai
I had no problem growing 1 plant in my closet with this mars hydro light and I upgraded to a Vivosun 3x3 tent kit and had no problem growing 1 plant in it with the light it came with.
Just not sure which 100 watt lights you are referring to that won’t get the job done. But I do agree on that crappy one in the pic above in the post will not work.
It is highly dependent upon what you expect at harvest. I want large, dense buds. About 1 lb per plant, dried and cured.
Some folks are happy with fluffier buds and a few ounces per plant. If that is your goal, than less will work. Each of my plants are about 3 feet in diameter when they finish the stretch.
To be honest an LST with smaller lights is optimal over straight up like i grow. The canopy spread not only allows penetration but presents a larger area to take in all the light has to give. Less wasted photons hitting your floor outside the plants footprint. Just my opinion.
Stick with photo till have great lights and some experience. The auto need 100% on the money from day 1 to produce well and are finicky suckers. Photo also allow cloning. 1 bean. A million plants if want.
I’ve done my own PPFD map using the photon app. Center 100% is 1100ppfd and far sides are 550ppfd in my 2x2x5ft tent. I added the other 2 to bring the sides up to 850ppfd.
full spectrum. You are good other than power. Keep it in use for what it can FLOWER!!! and upgrade as you decide to expand are my thoughts. I have had good results from some of the offbrands. Cheaper diodes and and older but as mentioned,Take the numbers with a grain of salt and drop 20% from them just because.
