Well people ,been sneeking and peaking ,basically in the shadows watching a lot of your threads and have picked up so much info and tips from quite a few of you ,I’m Scottish,and on my first grow ,auto biodiesel, ,well 1&1/2 week into flower ,so not too long now .if I need any help with those ,I’ll be bck ,what I’m wondering is ,I got a differe,bigger light for my next grow
AK47 autos also and am looking forward to these more than I was the last time ,last time I winged ,but me thinks the plants are doing fine ..anyway ,need to know about the light o just bout ,it’s 1000w Philson 2020 newest 100 watt led lights,.dinle full spectrum grow lights for indoors ..can anyone tell me if these are ok ,my last and 1st grow was done with the burple led and I think I’m getting omen fine ,just decided to up the tent size and lighting and hope someone can give me the heads up these leds are ok ,as I have the option to send bck ,they’re not burple ,in the pic they’re white and that scares me ,any input would be greatly appreciated,happy growing and have the best day ,over n out

Thanks Greenthumb..1000 watts inly does a couple? Wow..I’ve been growing,I should say I’m on flower of my biodiesel autos ,could be why I was thinking they were maybes a bit small .I’ve been using a 600w burble LED and well I thought it may have been down to my inexperience,but now I’m thinking it maybe the 700 W lights,only in the 2nd week if bloom,so won’t know the finished result for a couple of weeks,I’ll post some pics of those and could someone tell me fit a 1st timer are they looking ok 2weeks into bloom?ps I should said I’ve been growing these in a 1.2b1.2by2 metre tent ,this next tent is double that ,so do you think maybe when I start these AK47 autos,I should maybe hang my burple600w and the Philson 2020 new Full spectrum Led Dimmer lights Together in this larger tent,or maybe I need an extra set ? ..and Thanks buddy and also Ivsealth..have the best day ..I’ll get those pics posted soon

Soz about a couple of them ,was trying to get you as much of my setup as possible,up until the other night I had the big fan blowing full through one of the side vents and duct wholes ,it seemed to be doing,was worried the fan was too big to put in such a small space but that’s the 2nd day inside and even that’s a whole lot more progress .so anything mate,any pointers what so ever would be greatly appreciated...the new fan ,that 1000w should be here in the next couple of days and I’m getting a 2by 2by4 tent ,or maybe it’s 2by 4by4..I’ll need to check my order ,had a couple cans in me when I ordered ,or I would’ve probs not bothered lols and stay with my little tent of heaven

Lols cheers spike,I’d been planning on doing this for years ,just for myself but once you’ve used the little tent .it looks big at 1st ,but doesn’t take long for 4pkants to fill it ,could probs get another 4in,this one was a wee practice and thanks mate ,that’s 2heads up about my plants ,so that’s good to hear,I’m looking forward to getting this new tent ,that grows only about a week in flower,so won’t be long till flush and harvest,they’re auto biodiesels but I’m planning on starting this new grow with AK47 autos also ,I’m just starting out ,don’t much trust myself yet to go full feminised,to tell you the truth ,I do know but am still not completely certain the difference,got some white widow feminised here too ,will get the AKs going probs after im finished with these ,but then agsin ,that could be a month away ,so if my gear lands tomorrow,I may just start germination then ..happy growing buddy ,oh and ps ,how’s the upsizing going?

Also ment to say that,they’re in coco coir and perlite 49/2 and 40 professional soil,next time it’s the coco coir with perlite mix bricks I have to start them with ,any advice or heads up for that would be great ,I forgot/didn’t know I should’ve buffered the coco coir but I think the soil saved me ,happy growing buddy

many here can tell you what you need in lights, i can just help with telling you what i think they are.

i have read here in several threads that 30w per sqft for great LEDs and 40 or more for not so great ones. so between 120 to 160 watts - but i know nothing
