Nice lights!

I think so too… they are solid built. Both are HLG Rspec FR’s. 700 & 320. Far red is the latest updated lights. I dont see to many lights that use far red, deep red yes, but far red i dont see many at all. I’ve read it has alot of benefits in flowering.

Hlg makes a great light to be sure. Lil more spendy then I like but if you can, you should, am I right?

Thats how i see it. I would wrather scrimp on fans or any other equipment than lights because lights are what will dictate levels of terpenes THC and overall robustness of a plant not the fans or the other equipment.

I’ll never waste my time growing another “bag seeds” again. They just dont seem to be very high quality from good genetics and i will waste alot of time and energy to find out they’re males.
That was what my first grow was from, some seeds i found in bags off of freinds. I am sticking with feminized seeds from high quality genetics from here on out…my first run was just an introductory experiment…

I wouldnt ever buy seeds from anyone who wasnt reputable. Id test seeds for a new company but never would I pay.

I never realized how important genetics are!

50% of the final outcome is genetics. The other 50% is you and your choices/care.

I could’ve been feeding my last grow alot more in retrospect. I was gun shy because i was using Miracle-Gro on tomato plants and killed a few.

NEVER is a strong word but MG is not considered cannabis friendly nutrient.

I like this!

If you can look at a plant and identify nutrient deficiency vs toxicity or ph or watering issue and correct said issue then you can probably be successful growing in mg ,or a bucket of rocks for that matter. Whether or not that makes sense to do is another story.

Thats just it. I didn’t know exactly what i was doing with plants before i joined this community. I didn’t know anything about EC or pH. I would just pour the water or pour the Miracle-Gro into the soil and hope for the best. I wasn’t going to do that with cannabis so i joined ILGM and it has taught me alot. But, i dont believe i will ever be using Miracle-Gro ever again. Never! I hate the stuff now that I’ve found much better and more cannabis friendly fertilizers. Miracle-Gro has weed killer in it!

Well, both my Mowie Wowies sprouted this morning. They broke dirt and are reaching for the lights.(set at 300 ppfd)
No sign of the NY Diesels yet. They are runty looking seeds though. I said this before here. That they look terrible and unhealthy. They just need more time i guess.

Sometimes it can take 7-10 days for germ.

I am being patient. I know that just because the MW seeds Germinated that quick, that it doesn’t mean every seed is supposed to be that quick. I’m not going Hitler on them yet…LOL
