Upgraded lighting

Should I maybe tie out of thr way some if possible,??

Supercropping can help. You don’t want to deprive your plant of light. It would be counterproductive.

Supercrop and tie down. Good idea.

Right she is already a week into flower and don’t know if it should be cut

If 1 week into flower you have 7 to 9 weeks to go before harvest time. If you cut it down now you may as well throw the plant away. There is no THC yet.

You are going to have to find more space. A cannabis plant will double in size during the 1st 4 to 5 weeks in flower.

Cut her off? She is a. Auto btw

You said cut.

Autos and photos flowers ripen at the same rate.

The China Cheapies, make great tent warmers, using double electricity for half the HLG output. HLG lights make me happy and the buds make me smile.

Do you think the SF 1000 will be good enough for my 2x2 tent or do I need bigger? When I went to the Mars Hydro TS 600 100 watt light people were saying that it wasn’t enough for flowering.
It seems like it’s doing ok and the plants look happy but I just want to make sure I have the correct setup

The current HLG refurb sale was already mentioned. :+1: I bought an on-sale refurb from them nearly a year ago that I’ve been very happy with, their customer service is great, too.

If you had to pick one……which one would it be??



The SF 1000 has the new Samsung 301h EVO diodes……
The others use the Samsung 301b

Gotcha I was kinda leaning that way

Hey brother I am not a fan of mars hydro ts600 but you can flower a single plant, it has bridgelux diodes, a older less efficient, but not great yield or density of buds. A lot of people here say you need 200 watts, I have 100 watt boards but they are from a great company HLG and I get good results but I don’t grow autos or Sativa strains, as a 100 watt board is not going to have dense bud, so I grow indica dominant strains with already dense flowers. I agree the spider farmer, tho a 100 watt board has better diodes than the others. As long as it has the LM301H diodes, they are still selling SF1000s that have older diodes so make sure which one you are buying. I hope this helps :pray: @fordk59

Solid advice. Spider Farmer has come a long way. They were a burple seller just a few years ago.

It states it has the new 301h EVO and it has a good ppfd map. As long as this light will do well in my 2x2 I’ll go ahead and order it

I’ve not heard of the EVO before. Must be a new thing and will have to check it out. Any upgrade to the h model is going to be the current top-of-the-line.

Yeah. Happy to learn of this. A PPE of 3.14 μmol/J is really good. It’s a 0.04 PPE (Photosynthetic Photon Efficacy) improvement on the original h model. Not a whole lot, but definitely in the right direction.
