7/27 started germination
8/5 germinated replacement AP and BB, 18/6 light schedule originally about 35% power but plants were stretching to much even with light close so raised light to 24" and upped power to 100% over a weeks time and they loved it. Watered as neeed, usually every 2-3 days with tap water drawn days prior to off gas. The soil I used was Fox Farm Ocean Forest. Topped them once 5th set of leaves grew.
9/7 started 12/12 light cycle and top dressed with 2cps worm castings, 1/4cp 4/4/4, 1/2cp 3/9/4, 1/2cp budswell. Minor prune and lolipop.
9/16 installed trellis net, rewove to further out squares as needed over next week or so as plants stretched. Gave them a shot of CaMg+.
9/27 another light top dressing. 1/4cp budswell, 1/4cp 3/9/4 and 1cp wormcastings.
10/2 another dose of CaMg+ and some molasses.
@Cannabeast40, Thank you, didn't have much luck outdoors with the wet and humid weather we had here, lost most to mold, but this should make up for it.
Hello, I have the same light, seedlings are 4 days old, I used the recommended distance/% by sonofarm but they're stretching a lot, then I did 25 inch 50% and wasn't enough, after reading your comment I increased to 100% just not but I'm really worried they'll burn, any advice? isn't this light supposed to be like spider farmer 4k I don't understand why they stretch thought to even put my old burpe lights back, I hope to hear gum you asap, as I'm I am panic mode and there isn't many users of this light out there 🙏
@Jelka, coverage shouldn't be an issue, the light will flower a 4×4 area. My tent is 4×5 without the divider to make it 4×4, so I lose some reflectivity on the one side with the light centered over the 4× grow area and the light has been great. Once I put it to 100% I've only turned it down to take pictures or while pruning for less eye stress. I kept it roughly 18in over the top kolas the whole time. The heighth difference your plants have could be just a different phenotype, not all are the same. My plants have almost a foot difference between the shortest and tallest. So to keep the canopy close to level, I propped the shorter ones up with clean styrofoam and 1/4 pallets. If they are already 25in you're going to have to start thinking about how much room you'll have between the light and plants when they hit the "stretch" and possibly double in size during flowering. You can control height with Low Stress Training, Topping, ScrOG net along with adjusting the light. The Journal tab on here has some helpful articles on how to do these methods and people like Bill Ward and Mr Canucks Grow have informative videos on Youtube. Hope this helps you with your grow.
@Vt_Kind thanks for the reply, the light is at 75% at 25 inches now 18 days old, I have 5 plants 3 gallon under this light in 4x4, so it's tricky to get them all positioned correctly, as the biggest plant is now the smallest cause its the one at the edge of the light, so maybe if i increase the distance to 30 inches and set it to 90% or 100% might help cover all plants? or I might just Increase the light at the current distance, no clue what I'm doing, happy grow, and any videos and info. regarding this light is much appreciated.
@Jelka, Hi, When I upped the light to 100% the only issue I had was the plants got almost to bushy with the nodes growing really close together, so much so leaves were kind of interweaving. I had no light burn issues at 24 inches above the plants, so maybe putting the light higher up or dialing it back 10% might have made the nodes spaced a little farther apart but the plants made it just fine. I haven't had any experiance with Spiderfarmer lights but the Sonofarm seems to be a great light. Its now sitting only 16 inches from the tallest tops, since i ran out of adjustment with the way i have it set up. Since it didnt seem to cause any problems i decided to wait until the plants finish before i modify the way the light is hung now so i can raise it higher for future grows. I do want to compare my 600w hps to the Sonofarm at some point as i haven't had an issue free grow with the hps to be able to compare it to this crop with the Sono which has been my best grow to date.
Will be starting an autoflower grow in the next week or so, sorry it took so long to do the harvest report out for this run.
Happy growing, drink milk and keep it to the right, or left for our U.K. friends.
Hey man I just bought this light and noticed a huge difference between the ppfd map and actual measured ppfd. Do you notice this as well? In only reading like 1k when I should be getting 2700
Awesome garden friend, it is one of the best I ever seen, really.
I wish you the best
Sweet hugs from us ❤️
