First grow and need advice

[1stgrow01]

Ha, nice! At least now I know it's a good light lol.

 

[1stgrow01]

It's set up and running now

 

[1stgrow01]

Here's the plant that's doing alright

Nice! If you start noticing any yellowing lower the potency or pull it higher, seedlings dont need a lot of light and your previous bulbs were not enough but this is more than x10 times the potency they had before.

Alright I got it on 40% right now and about 16 inches up but I'll keep and eye through put the next few days

I bet the PPFD map is the same, this is the models I have in the small indoors, pretty much the same as you can see just different brand

 

[1stgrow01]

Just a little weaker

 

[Eledin]

Oh, not much less though, still more than enough for tight nugs. Mine are 130W but I thought you said 120W because you were discounting 10W or so from the fan.

 

[1stgrow01]

It said 120 but I'm not sure honestly

 

[Eledin]

Makes sense that you have slightly less umols if its slightly less wattage. The fan cant be more than 5W, it doesnt have many rpm so its technically a 115W panel, and mine a 125W one. Pretty sure the LED diodes are the same, I just got a few more.

 

[Eledin]

Also these brands lie a lot, they advertise it as a 1200W HPS equivalent which is not even remotely close, so maybe they lied in my PPFD chart too. The little extra wattage plus inflating performance like these brands do might explain the difference.

 

[1stgrow01]

Yeah I wouldn't doubt if it wasn't 120 watts but it looks full spectrum and so far my plant is reacting well

 

[1stgrow01]

As long as I get big dense nugs with lots of tricomes I'll be fine

Hell yea! Those update videos are exactly what i would wanna see if i were in your position. @Eledin always has awesome advice, glad you got him in your thread!

I think youre doing pretty damn well with what youv got. Super low budget but still makin it work.

Should be cool to watch these grow into flower stage!

 

[1stgrow01]

I can't wait to flower them. I know I won't get much off it but still

4 Oz from one plant? Damn I hope mine come out like that lol

 

[1stgrow01]

When it's time for them to flower I just change the light schedule from 18/6 to 12/12 right?
