Great week👍, New diary. Emily(very pleasant to deal with)from Viparspectra sponsered me the XS 2000,so now I have two. I'm going to try a few auto grows with this light as I've never tried to grow autos with the XS 2000 yet. Nice light, came well packaged and I have a few strains that I have not tried yet, super excited😄 so it should be interesting.In this diary I will grow two autos from RQS, hulkberry auto and green gelato auto. I soaked the seeds in water for 16 hours and then planted directly in soil with a sprinkle of great white, 100% success, in three days they were popped above the ground. Here we grow again😏.. Thanks for stopping by👊, see you in a week...

Hey everyone👊, Two new strains for me under the Viparspectra XS 2000 and the plants seem to be happy. At first the seedlings really stretched because I had the light to far away and the dimmer turned down to low,so I adjusted the light a bit and turned up the power to 70% and the plants are happy. Not much else to report this week, sticking to just water and kelp me kelp you in small amounts for now. Thanks for stopping by👊

It's been a great week, the plants are loving life under the Viparspectra xs 2000, I think I'm getting the hang of this light, if I move it to close or turn up the power to much the plant lets me know right away. I've been trying to keep the top of the plants level, without the plants stretching to much, think I found the sweet spot. I'm running the light at 60% and it's not very hot at all. Until next week, remember it's 420 somewhere

Under the Viparspectra XS 2000,(240 watts at 100%) We have a Hulkberry💪 and Green Gelato😎 at a whopping 8 inches tall😀, they both withstood the stressful transplant on the 9th of Aug. and a topping a few days later👍, it was like they didn't even notice, they grew 3'' and covered the top of the pot. I'll be starting some training this week before the branches and main stem start getting to hard to manipulate. Hope all is well👊.. See you in a week!!!

It's been a great week, The plants are loving life under the Viparspectra XS 2000, I'm still running the light at about 60% and just over 30'' from the top of the plants. I have two of these lights in the tent and I'm able to keep the temp. at 23c👍. Both plants have just exploded with growth and are flowering already, I have given only water since the transplant because I mixed a bit of power bloom(gaia green 2-8-4) right into the soil along with some worm castings and some bio-fuse(beneficials from gro-tek), so just water, molasses and cali-magic for the next couple of feedings... Thanks for stopping by👊, see you in a week!!

Under the Viparspectra Xs 2000. Hulkberry, getting all tied up, keeping a level canopy and staying Dark GREEN👍.. Green Gelato, with some side branch stretch and 0 training she's managing to create her own level canopy and starting to put all the POWER to the FLOWER👍.. Until next week, remember it's 420 somewhere!!!

Great week under the Viparspectra Xs 2000👌. The plants are growing like crazy, the Green Gelato has sugar all over it already and it grew fairly tall. I haven't done any training to this plant , I just topped it, that's it, 0 defoe and she's staying super healthy👍.. Hulkberry(what a name) she's staying short and stalky, she's a HULK shade of green and starting to put some weight to the flowers, can't wait for this one, should be good👌

Under the Viparspectra XS 2000, just hanging at about 22'' from the tops and all the power is going to the FLOWER👌The smell from both of these plants is unreal and the resin production is off the charts. It's flush time for these two ladies, started today with a 4L plain water flush each and finished with 1L banana peel tea each, plain water flushes from now on, the end is in site😀.. Hope all is well👊.. Smok'em if you got'em!!

Pretty straight forward week, a couple of flushes and I think I'll be harvesting both plants tomorrow or the next day as soon as they dry out, both plants are fading and I'm seeing some amber trichomes with the microscope camera..These lights(viparspectra XS 2000 x 2) are great👍👍, I'm sure they would do well in a larger space such as a 5x5 tent as I haven't turned mine up over 80% in a 4x4 tent and the plants just thrived under these lights. I'm running two lights at approx. 200 watts each(240 watts at full power) compared to the two 400 watt lights that I was running before and it's hard to tell the difference in the final product and my hydro bill is cut in half, gotta love it😀.. Hope all is well👊... see you in a week!!!

Hey everyone, hope all is well👊.. This plant grew real easy, 0 issues, ended up with a wet weight of 295 grams of sweet, sticky and really dense buds. It's not a huge harvest but the quality is there for sure. So now it's hanging to dry for a week or so and I'll be back with a dry weight and smoke report.. Nothing but good things to say about the Viparspectra XS 2000, it was my first time using this light from start to finish growing autos and it was a success👍.. Very versatile with the dimmer knob, and by being able to adjust it you can vary the amount of hydro being used which makes it very economical... New strains coming😎.. Stay tuned!!! 295 grams wet 10.5 ounces... 63 grams dry 2.25 ounces.. the smell is very berry-ish, hard to say, going to let this one cure for awhile before the test

This was a tall lanky plant with long airy buds a bit on the skinny side, just like the description from RQS said. The buds really loaded up with sugar and the pistols turned a dark,dark red. I managed to get a wet weight of 237 grams with all the stalk removed, so best guess is going to be around 60-70 grams dry, we'll see😏.. The pant thrived under the Viparspectra XS 2000, 0 health issues and 0 light burn, I ran the light 18-6 from day one and had 0 problems. New strain coming up, so stay tuned!!! 67grams dry, 2.4 ounces, not a huge weight, but I'm still really happy. The smell is different, kind of sweet I guess. I haven't tried it yet, but very soon.
