Viparspectra xs1500

Day 7: Hi all. I hope you are well and your gardens green and fruitful?. After a full week under this little pocket rocket of a light , the girls are responding in kind. My initial thoughts on enough light to keep them all happy has been smashed ,mashed and trashed !!!!. This has been a learning curve on l.e.d and assuming small means less powerful !!. I learnt this lesson at the expense of the little ladies as it turns out. I had the xs1500 at full power and a good 30 inches away amd it nearly frazzled the two middle plants !!! ooops. Rhis was while they were daysbold and STILL under domes for humidity !. A fundamental error on my part ,assuming the size was somehow a concern. After seeing the damage and leeching amd realising, I removed rhe domes amd dropped the lights power to 40%( 75w!). Since doing this they have responded better and begun growing properly. This is one powerful light right here it seems. I think i may get to flower more than I initially intended with 2 only... A great start in my opinion , for the lesson alone !. Temps in the room are ridiculously high due to heatwaves here and at 31.6°c , an option to remove the driver from the light and extend it from the room would be a brilliant addition amd could also benefit closet growers where any heat loss is a benefit worthy of using. The colours on the leaves are looking good for photosynthesis now they are used to the soil and I know the spectrum is taken care of too . So far looking good and starting to grow. I was gutted that I lost 2 seeds and one of the Northern is now looking suspect but fighting so contacted the breeders following advice , I don't doubt they will endeavour to assist with this issue. Thank you to the reps on Gd for keeping an interest post sales. Makes a lot of difference. Unril next time , be well.
