Which Light for first time grower?
HippityHoppitystarted grow question 5 years ago
I’m a first time grower and just curios on what is a good light. I know it depends on the size of the tent so I’m trying to go for a 4 pot setup in the tent. I want it to be LED as I don’t want to try HID yet.
Price isn’t such a big problem so don’t mind if it’s bit expensive.

Quantum boards by HLG. They are LED modules designed to replace HIDs.

Hey Pal, I can recommend Sanlight.
Using a Q4W in a 80x90x180 Box for Veg., and a Q6W for Bloom. Usual Setup is 5 plants/run.
If money is not an issue, I would definately take one of these before I buy crap @ AliExpress.
Have a good one and good luck, cheerz.....

Led! go on alixpress and get yourself a 8 or 10 led bar Samsung chip led grow light for £400-£600 including delivery with tracking and payment protection and customise specs to your requirement by messaging them if you like.. light spread is unbeatable and par levels are top notch plus meanwell drivers and think they have osram red chips 660mn aswell as white light there the best I've seen and nearly all LEDs stem from alibaba and aliexpress....cree cxb 3090 off aliexpress with meanwell drivers will match most top of the range LEDs what cost grands for yield and par efficiency a lot get rebranded and make money from you......my local grow shop sells a range of led lights and I've seen half if not 34 off alibaba

I highly recommend you a full spectrum LED.
The cost for a quality one could be high but the bills will be cheaper. They last several years. Low heat also, is important in the grow tent.
Im a small hobby grower and for me LED is gold

Best Light Schedule for Autoflowers?I'm wondering what light schedules my fellow growers like to use with their Autoflowers? I'm debating weather the additional cost of a 20/4 is worth it in terms of growth and increased Bud Quality/Size over a 18/6 schedule. I would love to hear your experiences.Setup. Lighting

Lifespan of led grow lights?Lifespan of LED quantum boards?
Hi
I'm looking for anyone who has first hand experience with the lifespan of the led grow lights. I'm not looking for the manufacturer guidelines. Just anyone who has noticed any difference in performance from the LEDs over time..

Soil pH not adjusting even after watering pH water.So Far I've been 6.5-7 pH water, & organic ferts BioThrive Grow, Bloom & CalMag. The soil pH doesn't seen to go any below 6.5; even though I've been feeding 5 pH water to make it lower. Why is this happening? What to do? Does organics in the soil auto-adjust the pH all by itself

When to lower light intensity?When is the right time to lower light intensity? I'm on 5th week of flowering, should I keep my lights on max or reduce the power/increase the distance to plants? I have around 1000W of Led's at 35-60cm distance from the tops. I see no burning/bleaching or anything like that.

Is my autoflowering plant a hermaphrodite?Hi guys, first time grower here and I'm a bit concerned about one of my two plants. One has entered preflower 2 days short of week 4, but my second plant hasn't shown any signs yet. Noticed these pods near the main stem, is this the sign of a hermaphrodite?

Entering week 9 of flower today and looking for advice on how to proceed. Harvest a week early or should I continue let them rippen?Numerous problems all culminated in late flower. I'm mostly blaming my over-use of UV, but they would have been fine had they been completely healthy when I started that.
As the fade is now beginning to progress to the rich sugar leaves, I'm considering cutting to save them.

Estimating wet bud weight from dry bud weightThe harvest report for the diary asks for wet bud weight, which I didn't measure. (I think it'd be hard to provide that number if you didn't wet trim, right?) So, what's a good conversion: using dry trim weight to estimate wet trim weight?
