It’s not like much is happening. I think I may actually be done with this one. After considering the advice given about bringing the plants back in, I’ve decided to go ahead and plant mothers.

3 out of 4 have sprouted. Still waiting on the Big Bud to show. Once I’m able, I’ll probably start a journal for each strain and link it here.

The Blueberry autos seem to be taking forever to do anything. It will be nice when they finally take off. I guess they’re still spreading their feet?

On the plus side, my Gout has finally eased up enough that for the past two days I’ve been able to get around. Yard work yesterday and demolition work today. Preparing to restore the front porch.

They had enclosed it to make two more bedrooms. The wife wants it back to the way it was when she was a child. It was her dad’s favorite place after work.

No worries, friends…

@Hammer, this is the topic that has my light. As all my future mother plants have sprouted, I will be starting a topic for each.

I’m not sure if you can really see it well, but the sprouts appear to be stretching. I’m sure it’s a sign that I should lower the light, but as I had mentioned, I’m a bit freaked out by the blistering I saw on B.S.3 and started to notice a little on another one.

The bag seed plants will stay outside now and I will be using the light for the mothers and my Blueberry Autos.

Were you able to determine proper distance from the image that was provided? I’ll be placing the mothers in 6" pots in a couple days before putting them in their final pots. I would like to bring the light down, but I’ll wait for an opinion from you.

I think I’ll be doing a journal in the lab as well…

Right now I’m noticing more stretch than I would like, but the blistering I noticed at 3’ has me uneasy.

Right now, I’m at 4’ and not sure if I want to risk lowering it. I plan on repotting soon which will allow me to bury the long stems, so I’m ok with a little stretch right now.

I’m assuming, we all know how that goes, that as they age they will do better with the light being closer. I believe it’s just too intense for seedlings at the proper distance to avoid any stretching.

It will be nice to see others using this brand so I can compare. The Sun is so much simpler!!! Lol

I’m sure if you wanted too you could lower it slowly I’m talking inches at a time 1 or 2 per day
I think it was most likely just to intense for seedlings you wouldn’t start under a 1000w hps right ?
I plan on using mine in flower box so I’m not sure how much I’ll be able to help
On seedling issue bro but thanks for responding :+1:
Good luck @FloridaSon
I may throw one in for the last couple of weeks of my current grow just to see how it does price was right on these lights
Happy growing :+1::cowboy_hat_face: CB

You can lower it safely at 3.5 feet @FloridaSon and it will help with the “stretching” :wink::innocent::+1::v:

So mfg recommends 1.2 - 2.2 meters @FloridaSon
Don’t know if that helps you

Wow! That’s around 3-6’ isn’t it???

Yeah I was looking at spec sheet and that’s what they have listed so I’m think higher for seedlings but 6 feet is up there lol ?
Just thought it might give you a reference point to work with bro

I tried looking at the image that was provided for light coverage, but I wasn’t able to see it well enough.

Thank you…

“Lights are effective from 5mm to 5m”

Yours was way worse lol @bob31 2mm wtf is right
@FloridaSon not sure if this will help you i wasn’t on Amazon looking at the lights and came across a few questions answered by mfg on placement of light :+1:

Hey @FloridaSon I got a question for you. Does your CrxSunny led have one chip on the board that stays illuminated very dim when you shut your light off?

I just got mine and plugged it in to make sure it worked and noticed this. I do not know if this is a feature to imitate sunset?

Again sorry to change the subject, any info is much appreciated :+1::v:

I just went and checked because it wasn’t something I thought about until you said something.

It takes a few seconds after turning it off, but then it’s all black.
