Day 14, and they have really taken off. Great growth on all four, and they are ready for transplant. I normally wait till 3 weeks to transplant with my hps/mh system, but with the Series 2+ 65 watt from BudgetLed, the cups were surprisingly full of healthy looking roots. Now there off to their final 5 gallon home under the Series 3+ Red Spec, can't wait. PeacenLove
@Learning, first time running these lights, and I will never go back. If you have been using a hps/mh system like me in the past, you will notice a difference. Can't go wrong with anything from BudgetLed, definitely won't be disappointed.
@BarNonBuds,
Yeah I have been thinking that also. I got out t he tape, measuing tape and did some measurememnts. I could fit two plants max in a 2x2. A 3x3 would allow more space for the fans and stuff along with more plants and me being able to get in the tent and work with the plants easier. I don't particularly need more plants as one is more than enough for me but I have a feeling I will want to experiment with different growing techniques and having more than one plant may be benficial in case I kill one. I want to get familiar with LST techniques before I try damaging the plant with HST. Also the screen of green and sea of green but screen seems more fitting for the strains I plan on growing from the very little bit of reading I have done on it.
@BarNonBuds,
This is actually my first grow. I have been around indoor and outdoor grows, nothing with LED though.
I got the Series 3+ full spec 250 watt dimmable. My plan is to veg inside and put them outside in March or April. At some point I will get a 2x2 tent but this light sounds like it's overkill for that space. I may go 3x3 just for more space and/or plant purposes but I think this should push out good dope in a 2x2 w/o question as long as I don't start pushing to much power and burning/bleaching the plants. I also want to see if this light does better than the sun, I have a feeling it will produce frostier specimens being as it's closer to the plant.
Tent wise I am just not sure mostly because space. In my current living situation I really have no where to put it except the living room and w/o carbon filters the house would smell like weed with the living room in the center of it. While I don't mind the other people may. The living room is also the only place with white walls and access to corners - veg purposes(but my cats might eat them), by the time they get particularly stinky they'd be going outside so I think I'd be able to work a compromise there. BUT that kills the purpose of the light so I think I really just need to sit down and say look I'm growing my weed, the living room is the only place it can go and figure it out. Honestly the only real thing that poses a problem is when people come to visit for the holidays. The tent has to go in the spot for their bed.
Blah I am stopping there. Sorry for telling you my life story but I am really just trying to figure this shit out so I can get growing!
