One of my friends freaked when i told him how much i paid for my light, i told him i can grow a small auto by useing 2 full spec spotlights from home depo, 30 bucks each +$10 for the clamp, i use these bulbs for sidelight, well after 50 days this is how it came out, since i have a booster im going to flower it under it not going to pay mony for red bulbs, i proved my point!

Yea i have to definitely agree with @MIMedGrower on this one!

The 3months it basically takes to grow a plant from start to finish, you want to make your time invested worth the return!

Dont get me wrong you look like you have good quality for sure! But you will be lucky to get an ounce, if not a half!

I grow more for personal then profit, but still, if that was a job, you just got paid like $1 an hour! Lmao

This is why people that come into my store cant believe I grow as much as I do, or have buds as big as I do, but they over here growing with a $100 LED light off Amazon!

Ill never understand it!

Good job though, at least you didnt kill it!

It is really neon green though, it could stand to get more light and nutes!

But at $70 you are more than halfway to buying a 600hps that can grow 20 ounces.

I never really understood growing lesser plants under cheap lighting. Isnt our time worth anything?

Not to mention a few oz of weed off the 1st grow will pay off the cost of the setup. So.... Its not like you are even spending money. just floating it.

I've never understood the 5-6 weeks then turn growing. I find the plants just too small and an extra month of vegging turns them into monsters. I've seen the SOG system in tents work very very well with young plants but it takes twice as many plants to fill the tents and seeds are expensive. I'd like 3-4 ft plants split numerous times making hedges over trees and it takes only 1 month longer

Yes i payed for the spots but as i said i use them for sidelight, i doubt if i were to buy 2 more bulbs to flower it it would not turn out good anyway, so under my bloom booster and yea another 3 weeks, when i grow dwarfs under my regular light i usalley take them out of veg and flower them around day 45 and since there small they usalley finish around 65 days from sprout, so my friend was staying i paid $120 for 4 full spec spots +$40 for the clamps he said bc they were not grow lights they would not grow shit, if it says grow light add $50 to the price, so yea i grew that little dwarf useing 2 spots, but im not gonna waste it, it's under my booster now, trying to prove a point besides autos flower with age, dont ussaley grow dwarfs these were my last ones, this should look allot better after a week under my booster. Dwarfs are fine but you have to grow a bunch of them. My critical came out nice trying to frost it up

That's a really pretty plant but there's only a day or 2 of smoke on that pretty little thing and that to me is a lot of time and effort for so little smoke. I'd smoke half that top bud before noon by 9pm there wouldn't be much left. A bunch would cost too much in seed to make it viable for me to grow, fk I'd need to grow 100 at a time. Nice little plant but I don't think dwarfs are for me.😀😀

I have one of those ( mine has a green back ) I originally bought it for house plants but I've scooped it for side pot😀 lights in my veg room. It puts our remarkable light compared to cfl's and a small led I use as well. I never thought of vegging and flowering off them but its good to know you can.

Plant does look nice btw. For what you are growing it under. Great work. Just think the money could be better spent is all.
