Minor Updates: Grow Lights and Grow Techniques

Hi Growers!

We are happy to announce a few new updates!

Now you are able to log and track your lighting. All you need to do is to select the brand and wattage when creating your Diary.

The 'Grow Lights' section similar to Breeders and Nutrients is coming soon too!

We have also moved 'Grow Techniques' to the 'Week' module. Now you can track your applied techniques with regards to the time they have been performed. We hope you enjoy the new updates!

Do you have any suggestions on how to improve the website? Let us know in the comments below!

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, I agree. Also there should be a an E.C. conversion for the ppm section. TDS meters use different scales for the e.c. to ppm conversion. Possibly list the conversion scale the tds meter is using. Theres a big difference between 1600ppm on a 0.70 scale and a 0.50 scale.

Beautiful.I like these recent updates. And I have a suggestion ; What about adding more smileys and flavours to harvest page? Actual smileys are not enough to describe some strains,in my humble opinion. And please enlarge the strain review sections when creating harvest page. Thank you!

Awesome, I would suggest in the nutrients section a gr./L ( grams / Liter ) option. For powder nutrients for example 😉

@Spazmagi, mobile yes I kind of thought that may be the case of computer engineers what is better on PC or laptop but it's nice having to extract the photos first lol

The only suggestion I have come up with is after looking thru all of the unresolved grow questions , There are literally hundreds that have had multiple good answers but the op has not chosen one. This seems to uneccessarily clog up the system and should be removed after a certain time frame as they obviously will never be resolved. This is just a thought do with it as you please. I am loving the rest of the site and friendly growers its a great place to visit full of good vibes!! Worldwide Legalisitation is coming..........................................................

Love the site and app. would love opportunity to update more frequently. weekly is a long time between updates and a lot can change often, day to day during some parts of the cycles. Also a "transition" weeks option. I found that by counting flowering time from the onset of actual flowers , not their initial pistils , gave me an accurate flowering time and a perfectly matured finish. As timing the change only involves veg/flower at present , it doesnt give any indication as to how long the transition/stretch period lasts which would be very useful to a lot of growers to know and is a question often asked in comments. It would also help new growers to understand the cycles better. Early harvesting can leave new growers disheartened and does not show the strains/breeders intended finish properly. At present it is a guessing game as to how each grower views the change over period to actual flowering cycle. keep up the great work

@BigDaddyK,yup! I try to update daily. I just go "edit week" everyday.
Ganjagrandaddy
Ganjagrandaddycommented5 years ago
@BigDaddyK, I agree it's possible and wouldn't break rules but the weeks count would go haywire .lol I would look like I veg for 32 weeks with how often I would like to post. A live forum would be amazing here too. We tried with the messaging app and a group chat but was impossible to keep current and diff conversations would throw it into madness trying to find replies to your own messages.

That's amazing! :D I suppose I can also choose a custom LED module if I want, right? In case my lights are custom-made!

This is selective. The brand of light I used is not included in your list and I have no way of telling people what I'm using for my particular setup
GrowDiaries
GrowDiariescommented5 years ago
@TonyTrichomes, you can by logging it as 'custom'.

This is a great update!!! @GrowDiaries could you create from that data in the future an overview page of the lights from verified growers (to avoid spam bots boosting ratings) something in the trend of CPU/GPU benchmarks (example: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_value_available.html). I understand it would be difficult to compare, as we all dont have the same test conditions. Some people also indeed combine their growths with more lights. Or have a different sized (3x3 vs 6x6) area of lighting.

A forum for discussion would be nice. Currently a lot of good information gets lost in some week in a diary.

I would love to be able to change the rating of some strain later on. I prefer very long curing times because after only some weeks of curing you never know the real aroma and effect. So my ratings are way too low as I need to give them quite early after harvest.

Awesome! Grow lights are the most important equipment for indoor growing, knowing its brand is also important!

When doing searches it seems that everything is CASE SENSITIVE so it is hard to find everything at first. This applies to nutrients as well. Great site though thank you!
