What would be the different range of lux needed for each week?
Atm running lights in 60% and with distance the lux is around 18000.
Since is my first time using led any recommendations?
Someone already with experience with sanlight? And its dimmer system?
Thank you so much
Not familiar with that specific light.. I recommend this app called Photone if you have to spend.. it’s a quite accurate PAR tool that gives you a direct readout in PPFD.
I try to be around 300-500 PPFD in first weeks of veg, 500- 750 after 2-3 weeks, then 800-1000 in flower (1100+ Only increases growth if you are running CO2 as well)
I believe 18000 lux is good for your stage. I think that’s around 400-500 umols/s/m2 which is what I was calling PPFD up there 👆 .
Definitely crank it to full when flower approaches
Since is my first time growing with orgánics nutrients, I would like to know what’s the main difference vs non orgánics. Thank you for your cooperation.
Using bio bizz + aptus organic products. And 60/40 coco pebbles.
From my experience with both, biobizz and aptus are good and would work well in coco. coco is definitely made for fast releasing nutrients(most bottled ones). homemade organics or tabs will probably take more time to dissolve and you'll have no benefits of coco. soil is better with true organics. coco is great with bottled nutes,mostly synthetic I would advise but those two would work good too. No remarkable difference in taste between organics and synthetics I've seen so far. Microbiologic life in the pots decide that. Nutrients that are made for coco like Plagron or Canna Coco AB series bring some explosive growth and good taste.
all phenos look different.
Plant #3 showing some calmag def.
Pumping calmag in the last watering before turning autopot system on.
Plant# 2 thriving.
Seems like the 3 other plants got stunt after fim.
Recovering week of 3 plants after nutrient deficiencies. Self note: don’t play around with new brand of nutrients. Switching biobizz calmag (basically water) to camgboost from aptus.
Foliar feed camagboost 5ml/lt ph 5.8 to recover from calcium and magnesium deficiency which created other problems, specially plant #4.
Changing to an organo-mineral grow with aptus.
Will use just base nutrients from bio bizz (giving away calmag from bio bizz to a friend 😃) and booster exclusively from aptus.
Planning to switch to flower as soon I see full recovery; probably end of the week or beginning of next week.
Auto pot system has been turn on after 20 days of potting.
For some reason in all my grows, always have deficiency problems before turning autopot system on. Once I turn it on, all the problems disappear.
Excellent light 100% recommend it. Switching from 600wttt hps to this is an amazing switch.
Temperature and humidity is stable.
Pretty good week for the stretching. Even thou my tank had some problems (I believe biobizz is not meant for tanks), the ladies are thriving. Changed to my trusted brand of base nutrients, green planet nutrients. This time trying medi one. Hope my grow shop will continue bringing green planet, it is a bummer they might stop importing it. Plant 4 accidental mainlining after breaking the two main tops training before switching to flower.
I can see the how awesome is Sanlight led evo for this tent, ladies are all even and love the overall environment of the budbox and the lights. Noticing a huge difference in nutrient consumption compared with hps. Drinking way less.
Overall excited and happy of this grow, couple of little problems trying organic base nutrients, but that’s how we learn, right?
Great week to get to understand PPFD and DLI. Photone is a great app and it’s website has great reads plus a great tool to give perfect DLI to the crop by each week of the cycle. Plant #4 had a quick stretch compared too the other phenos. Might be that had too much DLI and stunted it’s growth. Adjusted DLi and I can see a change in its growth rate.
I know I could have bend a bit more the tops before switching. Note to get better in scrog training. Plants are getting around 30 mol/m2d. Around 682 µmol/m²s to 700 µmol/m²s.
Excited to see the outcome of this amazing led. Sanlight doing a great job with their new products.
Just imagine how full tent will be of the plant #4 haven’t lost their two main tops and stunting. It seems will be a dwarf plant probably yielding less than 70g. Let’s expect for the better.
Nice week to see the development of the different phenotypes of same package of seeds. Had the chance to grow same strain but with hps 600. Good difference, they are showing better results with LED.
Currently between 36-38 umol/m2d. 800-900 PPFD.
What a difference! Thanks to this light the understanding of the plant needs is much more clear. Ppfd and dli helped so much to make sense every feed chart out there. With that in mind, for next grow have to be more careful pushing nutrients.
Got small nut burn in all the plants, nothing to worry. Just dosing it down to 2.0 Ec, only lowering the dosage of base nutrients.
Dli for week 5: 36
There will be 1 or 2 phenos that will be ready before.
Company says an average of 45 days of flower. Around 10 more days? Can’t believe it. Might go bit more since not all going to be in 45 or even 50.
Happy to see a possible better yield which I was not expecting.
Def going back to canna after this.
impressive how there is 4 different phenos.
Dli: 40
Flushing week.
Not completely happy with the outcome in the first LeD run. I know I can do better, and as my sensei said stop fucking around with new nutrient lines, specially organic bottles bullshit, going back to canna as base nutrients and aptus with boosters.
It is what it is, probably I’ll achieve what the genetic is meant to perform per square meter. If this run reaches 400gr I’ll be happy since the quality looks way better than any run I have ever done with hps lighting. Even though there was some nutrient lockout and problems everything looks good.
Let’s just expect the best and keep learning.

Just a bit disappointed with myself for trying bullshit biobizz on autopot. Maybe there is better organic bottles fertilizer but I’ll stick to canna and aptus.
Good smells and trichomes production, even though yield might be low it’s going to be a good smoke.
