I've been wondering this for a while and maybe someone who has more experience can answer this. I've only grown twice but I've grown 4 different strains and they hardly ever have a lot of trichomes on the sugar leaves. Obviously near the bud there's a lot but I see people with sugar leaves that are covered in frost and they don't even necessarily have frosty buds. Is it just pheno or strain? what causes it?

For anyone who likes the hlg 100w, I messaged them and they said that it goes against their warranty to add your own dimmer which doesn't really matter as long as the light doesn't break but they also said that there will be a dimmable 100w coming out soon.

The question is:
Is the warranty worth the extra $50 they're going to add to it?

why do you need to dim a 100 watt lamp?

You know imo they are pretty basic and I'm comfortable with know warranty but for someone who may not understand how to replace or repair them.. very easy. It may not be. Can always adjust by just moving it up and down for intensity. Especially for such a low wattage fixture there is not a lot of savings a dimmer will add.

oh yeah. You have a 2x3 right?

I didnt think of that. Need 2 lower wattage boards.
I mean just one would be enough but it would be much better with 2 and I hardly have any space so I want to make the most out of it.

no only 2x2


ok i take back my comments then. ;-)


You only need that 135 hlg board kit i linked when you first asked about this. Still in stock too. Get the rspec. If you really end up feeling you need more blue spectrum add a blue strip or puck later. But if i only had one lamp i would go flowering lamp only. Veg will get bigger faster anyway.
