These are all my current girls that are flowering, some of them a mystery seeds that I ordered off of the “Wish App” actually lol and others are mystery seeds from different places, along with an autoflowering (White Widow X Big Buds) strain & an awesome strain called Russian Snow. (The picture of the plant that is early in flowering) A couple have average buds and a couple turned out to be some killer strains! One of them is supposed to be gorilla glue #4 and it’s lookjng like it actually might be. The buds are enormous and just covered in killer smelling resin. I’m having a blast with my indoor grow and just harvested my first start to finish plant and it is currently drying out right now. I’m having very good luck using LED lights from amazon and have done countless hours of research to pick the perfect lights at an affordable cost. I’m using a 4x4 tent and a 2x4 tent along with another area for younglings. I have determined after lots of testing which light brands from amazon the plants react to best. I currently have 6 different brands I’m using. I would love to Anwser any questions about the lighting I’m using.
I am also currently sprouting 5 more strains: Red Purps, Afghan Super Skunk X, Afghan, African Buzz and a mystery strain I picked up from a California grower. I will prolly make a grow journal too record the growing process of those girls.
I want to thank everyone on this site for all the help they have provided me. And I encourage others to create post and ask questions. We have a great community of people on this forum helping each other constantly! Thanks Again!!!
Would definitely like to know what brands and what wattage that you are using. I currently have three two that are very good wait on one from HLG right now to add to my closet!!
So I was told that many LED lights on amazon were low quality so I started doing research on the subject and while yes there are many cheap brands on there. There are also quite a few decent lights you can get. So to start my absolute favorite lights I have found (which are reasonably priced) are Growstar lights. They have figured out a great balance of the light spectrums Cannabis needs for growing and work great through all stages of growth. They are a little over $100 for a 1000w light and amazon has regular deals on this brand as well. Another pretty good brand I have found is BESTVA lights, they cost around the same price and have great reviews as well.
I have also found a cheaper brand called WATTSHINE that the plants seem to react extremely well to (expecially in veg) which has optical lense lights ranging from 300w to 1800w+.
So currently in my 2 x 4 tent I am using x2 1000w lights (growstar & autogen brand) and a 450w WATTSHINE light as well hanging from the roof along with multiple small LED lights as well to provide light from the sides using regular desk lamps from Walmart with LED spotlight bulbs.
In my 4x4 tent I have x3 1000w growstar lights, x1 1000w BESTVA light, x1 1200w Rockpal dimmable light and I just added a 1350w WATTSHINE optical lense light a couple days ago as well.
My goal was to prove I could produce quality buds using only amazon products that most people could relate too. I don’t know the “true” wattage output of the lights from the wall, just what the lights say there are. My plants have reacted very well to the lights I have been using and I could not be happier with the outcome. I will post pictures below of my first harvest from my 2 x 4 tent from 1 plant.
Photos from my harvest the other day. This plant was grown using the 2x4 tent and the lights and stated in the previous post. It’s Called Fruit Punch and is 90% Sativa, it smells like passion fruit and is just loaded with beautiful sticky goodness!!
The 1350w wattshine uses about 200w from wall and has a par of 1870 at 12" and 664 at 24" There is 2 different 1000w growstar lights, one is over $200 and the $100 one you have used 200w from wall
