LAShugarsstarted grow question 2 years ago
I'm looking to buy a stronger light for around 200$ that can adequately cover a 4x5 space for veg/flower. I've been researching for weeks but can't decide. I'm currently running with two TOAD LED Grow Lights 600W, actual watts 85. They are Blurples. Any suggestions?

you won't find a quality light for a 4x4 or 4x5 space at 0. if you only run autoflowers, you can use fewer watts and sufficiently cover a 4x4 or 4x5. if you intend to grow photoperiod plants in a space like that, you will need a true 600-some watt light... the more efficient the better... good lights cost a bit more upfront, but will save on each monthly electric bill for 5-7 years of use, or more. in some cases, your driver may fail before teh diodes dim below 90% of original intensity... (the longevity curve gets a steeper decline as time, i.e. it dims at incrasing rates, although slowly at first) The lamp linked below lists smd 3030 diodes... this is a generic term. the LM301 is an smd3030 chip. SMD - surface mounted devices. 3030 = size of the diode. Since they do not list the manufacturer, that's a BIG and bright red flag warning you to stay away. the one good thing it has going for it is that it is runniing the 972 diodes at a fairly low per chip wattage.. without exact spec sheet, there is no way to see L90 (point at which it is 905 of intensity on longevity curve) or any number of important specifications about this chip... this doesn't happen on accident. Lack of information improves their sales. the info will most likely push you away from their product so they make it impossible to see. never trust teh par maps if they don't give the spec for your diodes... An anecdote that is a parallel -- Day 1 the very expensive Luminus COB LEDs are stronger than the cree cob LED (comparing top of the line of each manufacturer at the time -- luminus whatever vs cree cbx3590 something or other) Anyway.. day 1 the luminus is brighter but within just 10,00012,000 hours of use it will quickly dim relative to the Cree COBs. if you only used it 12/day for bloomphase, that's only 2 years of use before it starts dimming like the total piece of shit they are, LOL, while the cree cob continues to give you intense light similar to day 1 for another 40,000 hours. it lasts 5x as long. So, longevity and efficacy are two things that are often glossed over by the cheap lights. i'd suggest saving up more money... buy onen off alibaba if you want the lowest price. can probably get a 600-somew lm301 chip "bar or strip style" light with better even coverage than a qb for less than 0 to 0 delivered. Or, pay 900-1200 somewhere else for the same thing. If running only autoflowers, could run a 480w high efficacy light in same space. This is directly proportional to hours of use.. 12 hours vs 18 hours or more, etc. you need 2/3rds the amount of light over 18 hours vs 12 hours and still provide same DLi to the plant. This would obviously be a cheaper light. alibaba has some risk. make sure the vendor is covered by "Trade Assurance." It involve negotiating directly with a manufacturer, which is not comfortable for all ppl. the initial listing will only show the lowest, cheapest configuration, even if it lists something else in the title... lots of bait and switch going on. salesmanship wiht zero integrity.. kinda par for the course worldwide if you don't split hairs. you may even find a generic SMD3030 - if licensed from samsung this is going to be a lower bin options but still can be okay if in greater numbers. this is an additional risk that the vendor isn't just lying to you to sell you a piece of shit BWahahahah... but hey... such is life. anyway, i'd save up a bit more... or, piecemeal it... buy a light to augment what you got but in future can be paired with another one to properly cover teh space... this way you could spend a bit less today... cover more space while also using your old equipment.. then in future buy a 2nd one to complete it. ~480w for autoflowers in a 4x5 and 600-some watts if doing photoperiods in a 4x5... this assumes it is somewhere near 2.7-2.9umol/J efficacy, otherwise a few more watts might be wise.

What are thoughts on removing the large leaves for better light exposure?

Do not do it!!! Those beautiful big leaves are making nearly all of the energy she needs to grow. Just remember - Maximum amount of healthy green leaves = maximum amount of energy production = maximum growth. The leaves are the "solar panels" that drive your plants growth. Less solar panels, less growth. It is that basic. Those new shoots are relying on those fan leaves to make the energy that they need to grow. Try and only ever remove yellow leaves, for by the time they are yellow, they have done their job. Besides, if your plant would not need those leaves, it would not grow them in the first place! Those big leaves are about 80% of your plants canopy, removing them would cause an 80% reduction in energy production, reducing growth speed and overall plant potential enormously. Cannabis will grow its fastest and largest with as many leaves as possible left in place to do their job of making the energy for your plant to grow. Hope this helps, Organoman. (and a very, very anti defoliation grower!)

These poor guys. So I tried ILGM suggestion and started them in water. After a couple days they still hadn’t cracked. So I switched to the paper towel method and they were good to go within a day. I decided to put them directly into 3gal cloth pots. Unfortunately I used MG soil. After reading about how bad MG can be for auto’s I panicked and repotted in Fox Farm Ocean mix. I only had enough FFO for one 3 gal and a solo cup at the time. They broke through the soil overnight. Today is one week since they emerged. I think they look ok considering. Planning on repotting the one in the solo cup in a couple days to a 3 gal cloth. Any advice is welcome !!!! Thanks!

I'm using the Maxsisun PB2000 Pro for both veg and bloom in my 4x4 tent and have been getting from 2 to 3 ounces per Auto. I think I got in on sale for around 350.00
