fuck autoflowers. They are tiny, shitty yielding plants and suck ass. Everytime i grow one i am disappointed. There's nothing wrong with the light. It worked well. Without the WPM it would have been good buds, but fuck autoflowers. H2O2 wash seems to work well. After 3.X days, i jarred. Definitely adding weight in teh jar, whicc was the intention given the potential infection. Tested a nug and it was surprisingly tasty for only 3 days from harvest, no doubt due to washing the buds and soaking for 1 hour. Never had something taste good like this after 3 days of drying. I will be incorporating some form of bud washing into future harvests for sure.

Great vege light. Can work as a bloom light in a 2x2 area, as they state. CCT is a bit too high (lacking preferred proportion of red), but the nugs were desnse enough, even so. This will be a great little seedling and mother area light. Jump start my grows in a tiny area with adjustable wattage. Save money, better utilization of space and therefore greater productivity. This is a very useful light. If growing 1 or 2 plants, it can do fine seed to harvest. It'll be far better than similarly priced units that don't utilize the LM301 chips. You'll get HLG-like efficacy if run at 120watts. (~2.5umol/J). If that is greek, it means it costs less watts to produce same number of photons (how we measure light) per second. Overall, it is a quality light with a good heatsink and a good meanwell driver. Run it at 120w and 50,000 hours of good use is nearly guaranteed.

Meh.. i've had 2 shit crops in a row (nothing to do with the Viparspectra LED Grow Light). Self-inflicted, yet i have no idea what the root of the problem is at moment. I tossed the other plants, but i had to try with these.. as i may run out of buds before next harvest and that'd be a fucking catastrophe. Full rebuild coming, so that reduces amount of cleaning required. I'll mop down the main grow room. Will i update this later? We'll see if it is worth it. Hopefully, the hydrogen peroxide sterilization bath works well. I'm soaking it extra long, because the surface area is not the only concern here. Not a happy camper.. Hopefully, i don't have to smoke any of this, LOL. Even if it dries and cures with no additional growth, best outcome for me would be to throw it away as next harvest nears, because i have no need for it. I'll use a couple older integra 55% packs so i can just throw those out when done. Nothing this trash-dick outcome touches will be safe. I feel like i need to take a shower after working with it. _________________________________________________________________________________________ About Lights (Portion copy and pasted from Germination week comment) *** think there is a 4/20 promotion this year, so look around for that. 15% on 4/20? enter into a contest or something? i don't know. This diary concludes my obligation to ViparSpectra. I didn't sign up for the comissions, so don't feel bad about using anyone else's codes. The only thing i received for this diary is the free light. *** Hello, folks... This light was sent to me by ViparSpectra. It looks like an excellent light for the price point. They used the most efficient 'white' LED diodes (LM301). They come in both 3000K and 5000K varieties. The average is around 3600K, so it should do you well in both vegetative phase and bloom phase. The 5000k will promot branching early and 3000k will promote bud development late. It also includes diodes for 660nm and 760nm wavelengths (far red and infrared). Meanwell drivers are a well known brand with good efficiency. It has a quality heatsink, too. This is an excellent light that can take you from seed to harvest and produce high quality buds. 8% Coupon Code - XSNobodyBud Note, my screen name is slightly different. Use any code you find for that matter. There are several out there. There are no commissions invovled with this particular code, but I did receive a free light. Nonetheless, I'm an honest guy about this stuff.

Hola, últimamente he cambiado mi concepto de riegos con macetas de tela y otras similares, ahora las mantengo más húmedas y alterno muchos riegos suaves para disolver el exceso de nutrientes en el sustrato y mantener muy funcional todo el sistema radicular, apoyando la movilidad de las raíces con sustratos ligeros y porosos y con microorganismos. Mi objetivo es poblar completamente de raíces la maceta definitiva, en las más o menos 3 semanas de crecimiento vegetativo. También para mi la única espera larga para el siguiente riego es después del primer riego profundo desde el trasplante, aproximadamente una semana para maceta cuadrada old scholl, 4 días para las de tela y 5 días para las air-pot. El mayor riesgo que le veo a la humedad es que esté parada en la maceta mucho tiempo, es que pierde el oxígeno, y creo que sólo por el mero hecho de disponer de macetas de tela o aireadas no es suficiente, la costumbre de dejar secar mucho el sustrato, antes del siguiente riego, aduciendo que así se oxigena, para mi tiene varias inconvenientes: la escasa humedad afecta a la vida de los microorganismos y las pequeñas raíces adventicias; la movilidad del oxígeno en capas profundas del sustrato se consigue con agua muy oxigenada... yo ahora estoy calculando la cantidad de riego inicial en maceta, multiplicando por 3 la media del consumo diario, dejando consumir dos partes y regando de nuevo, me va bien. Disculpas si me extendido o aburrido... fumo mucho!! Saludos 👊

@Ned_Grows, estoy totalmente de acuerdo que el entorno influye en la materia prima, animal o vegetal, a la hora de crear fertilizantes orgánicos y en relación a los metales pesados que mencionas, en mi caso, busco fuentes donde no haya tocado el hombre, vivo en un entorno natural sin polución y procuro proveerme de materia prima virgen, empezando por el agua de riego. De todos modos, yo no tengo datos al respecto. Los fertilizantes de síntesis química se basan en sales minerales y además sus costos de producción con relación también al medio ambiente son poco sostenibles. Mi concepto de cultivo se basa principalmente en la acción de los microorganismos del sustrato imitando al bosque, sin renunciar a la tecnología y dado que queremos la máxima producción para nuestros cultivos, elaboro mis propios fertilizantes solubles con materia prima que tengo cerca, algunos bastante complejos, de esta manera además, me independizo de la industria y me entretiene mucho. Yo creo que las plantas necesitan de todos los minerales de la tabla periódica, aunque sea sólo una pequeña presencia de muchos de ellos, creo también, que en cuanto más variedad de minerales contiene un ser vivo más posibilidades de evolucionar tiene y más complejo es... al final las plantas son los minerales animados. La industria agro química ha simplificado mucho el tema de la fertilización y prácticamente distribuye nutrientes básicos nada más: NPK, Ca, Mg, Fe, Si... y poco más.

@deFharo, There appears to be a misconception that inorganic or synthetic fertilizers contain higher levels of heavy metals than organic fertilizers. In my experience, this is most often not the case. First off, it is important to state that pretty much all fertilizers will have some amount of heavy metals. Even if the amounts are below the minimum detection level of the analysis, there are likely still trace amounts present. What I’ve noticed is that granular organic fertilizer products will, more often than not, have higher levels of heavy metals and generally higher levels than their liquid organic counterparts. On the other end of the spectrum, the water-soluble and concentrated liquid inorganic or synthetic fertilizers almost always have the lowest amounts of heavy metals with many clocking it at the non-detectable level. The reason for these differences is the source. The granular organic fertilizers that are derived from animal matter tend to have the highest levels. This is likely linked to the type of diet they consume. Plant-based organic fertilizers come in next in regard to heavy metals. The levels will vary depending on the plant because not all plants take in metals in the same amounts. I think almost anyone would be surprised at the arsenic levels of a standard sea kelp extract. Basically, anything that is alive and consuming food and nutrients from the surrounding environment will begin to accumulate heavy metals. This is all very natural. On the other hand, inorganic or synthetic fertilizers usually come from specifically mined mineral sources where heavy metals are found in much smaller amounts. The levels found in these fertilizers are often a direct reflection of the purity of the mineral source. Food and pharmaceutical-grade inorganic minerals have a much higher purity level than cheaply-mined sources and such quality will come at a price but the difference will be extremely noticeable. In turn, they will be more soluble in water and have better uptake into plant roots. It is also important to keep in mind that some heavy metals, such as zinc and manganese, are essential plant nutrients as well.

@@NobodysBuds, i used peroxide bath, soda bath , natural lemon juice bath and pure water last, even bud rot that i missed , dryout perfectly without infecting other buds. I use it for two years in a row for my outdoor grow, heavy smokers were noticing smoothness of smoke the most, maybe its mold spors in air you can smell ? In my youth in soviet union we had sulphur smoke "granades" to disinfect greenhouses, that was wiping PM any bug or any fungus, toxic tho, google maybe there is morden days alternative. My caravan was having mold issues in grow room till i started never cool him down, dry air helped to sort shit in area. Still took couple years and only third reinstallement and tent helped to sort it out.

And with dimming it could be even ok. And yes, It is suitable for more space, so I will leave it as is.
