Hey guys, I’m still new gardener … I need guidance to make sure I’m straight. I’m done with taking 15
every morning. This Army Veteran is tired. So, with that said, I have a 4X4 Zeny Tent, Vivosun in-line CO2 filter, Bloomspect 2000w light, and a Taotronics warm/cool remote humidifier… I’m using Fox farms soils oceanic, fertilizer and calmag with a bottle of unsulfured molasses.
I’m growing Gold Leaf (auto) from ilgm and Black Widow (f) also from ilgm. Germ and sprouted on time like clockwork. I topped all and attempted to LST the rest. I have a Scrog net too waiting to install. My question is I have the light on VEG mode and they are both in their 8 week.
Or do I switch them both on VEG + BLOOM mode??? I need help. Don’t want to loose my medicine
The autos will flip when they want to regardless of lighting cycle but your photo plants need 12/12 to flip and flower…veg/bloom switch gives you the blue/white, red being the flower…jus my thoughts but i would flip cycle to 12/12 and run em all together!!!
Typically any lights with a veg and bloom switch tend to be so weak with only 1 on that you need both on all the way through also bring that light down to about 18 inches (maybe do it in 2 steps so you don’t stress them) that’s a lot of room for that 1 light
Agree that you should just use the light with both switches on all the time.
Run all switches. Just adjust the light height. Use fans as well. This Disabled Army Veteran still takes over 30 pills and 3 inhalers daily. It used to be over 60 pills a day.
Want a body high look into G13 Labs Peach Puree CBD.
8 weeks on those autos and not flowering yet? Maybe it’s the pics but I’m not seeing any flowers
I bought the same lamp, I’m sorry to tell you they mislead you with their advertising and product labels.
That is a 350 watt lamp with everything turned on and the LED diodes are not top of the line.
For a 4 x 4 tent, you’re running 21 watts per sq ft. The target for flowering is 40-50 watts. I know a few of the members are flowering with less successfully but their LED diodes are much more powerful than the bloom spect purple diodes.
I returned mine, and put my plants under a moderately better lamp and they took off. I ended up buying lights with the high quality diodes and it’s a night and day difference. Like the guy above indicates, your plants are pretty small and underseveloped for 8 weeks. You’re probably outside the return window, I caught mine right at the end. If you complain to Amazon about false advertising you may still be able to secure a refund.
Otherwise you should look to buy another lamp to get the wattage up, or reduce your grow space by 50%.
Sorry for the bad news, but wanted to give it to you straight.
Thanks a lot. I just got in an going in right now to make adjustments
Thank you. I never knew. Here it is I thought I had a winner. What do you recommend
Yes. Thank you for your service too. Those were my morning pills I mentioned. Me and you are running neck n neck. And I’m still having surgeries. Hoooah. I’m about to jump in the garden and see what’s happening. I will definitely look into that “peach purée”
I am a novice and was fighting watering and feeding until I paid attention to the . She showed early signs of watering spots and my ph was only around 6.9-7.6 and my rH was ranging between 35-85 until I got a handle on it. They shot up in the last week after I learned her schedule. I think.
A mars hydro is fine for veg but its spectrum is just to blue for flower so I recommend a rspec hlg for flower time
I am online now. Searching. I went back and fired off on Amazon. That’s definitely not enough wattage. I was looking at those and the Spider farm lights. Here is another question for ya. Do you have any coupons for those lights. They are not nice on my pockets.
If you buy directly from the hlg shop the code dude will get you 10% off and the kuarez 1500 watt is almost identical to the Mars hydro 1000 but without the dimmer but far cheaper
@Forty if you want a bit cheaper option that still produces very well…look into sonofarm lights…i have a 3x3 w 2 of em in it…
Jus a thought!!! I run another tent w 2 HLG 135 DIY kits…both grow super dense flowers!!!
Ohhh they are pricey. But I bet they are the best. Not there just yet. But I’m coming.
You are thinking like me. Your girls are phenomenal @Northerngreenthumb Great advice.
Holy cow man. They are absolutely beautiful. I’m been fighting this issue all day in a light. You said you have 2 - HLG 135 lights right.
