I’ve only tried the Pineapple Express photos from ILGM. Little expensive so I now grab my beans mostly from Seedsman. I will say the ILGM Pineapple Express was some really good smoke. Flavor, tons of flavor.
My last 2 autos, White Widow and Lemon Haze were grown under two Mars Hydro 1000’s and I wish I had my new light up when those were going. It arrived 2 weeks before I harvested, and I noticed immediately what could’ve been had I done the whole grow with the new light. No shadows on the sides anymore. I use to be a photographer so I notice shadows easy. And with this new light they were none existent. I got 2 jars out of it so all good.
Wow, 60 percent… seems a little high. I’m at about 20 inches and am running it at 40% for a PAR of 300 for my photos I just started. We might have the same light, I got the Hydra 3200 I mentioned above here.
I kinda did the same as you with the soil, I have a thread here about it. My grow
It’s tough for me to help growers that use a super soil and then grow with a synthetic bottled style. With bottled nutes you need a 20 to 30 % runoff and there goes all the super you added to the soil, just doesn’t make sense to me…ok done with my little rant.
