I really appreciate it, I gave it a lot of love and care, I'm glad it made it this far and its actually what caused me to be interested in growing other stuff, which is where the strawberries and pink blue berries came from which are doing really well too, and started my first clones on those.Excellent. I would avoid doing anything that stresses it from here on out like defoliation etc.
I can only speak for myself, but I would bet money there's quite a lot of us who wish their first grow even made it that far!
Good luck and keep us posted
This is a nice setup, do you have any recommended branch benders? I suppose i could design and 3D print some but no point in reinventing the wheel.There are a few ways to get lots of light in a 4x4 footprint. I use multiple light for a few reasons. One light goes out ouch. In addition with tethers it is easier to handle multiple hight plants if needed.
700 watts 4x4. Looks like you have a big chunk now .View attachment 2439513
It's funny you say this b/c i was mulling over a designing a rotisserie with a stepper motor and microcontroller to rotate the plant 360degrees over a 12hour period lol.Absolutely, you get the idea!
Now you just have to get a pottery wheel and sit there and spin it around all day!
Like a plant rotisserie.
sick, just purchased and TY!I like these because they adjust from slight bend to sharper

Will do, I'll be doing so many things differently next time, this was a nice experiment that had a lot of lessons. The center of the light has a circulation fan which i believe is what your referring to.next time start LST dont be afraid to make her bow
i like the lamp what is that in the middle?
and i love the idea for a vertical lamp made it like you did LST.
What's the plant telling you....I dont mean to argue but when I looked at the data sheets for both of these lights, b/c I was deciding which one to get, they where comparatively the same and both where recommended by many people. Also the space I'm in cant take a 4ftx4ft light. I could be mistaken though, and could have looked for a different size light as well i suppose.
Does it blow down or up?Will do, I'll be doing so many things differently next time, this was a nice experiment that had a lot of lessons. The center of the light has a circulation fan which i believe is what your referring to.
That it really likes the new light, 2-3 weeks ago I wasnt using the light seen in the images, i was using something much smaller, and noticed an issue with growth which caused me to purchase a much, much larger light I'd say the new light is maybe 10 times the size of the old one. I only started getting that massive growth on top after i changed lights, which tells me it really likes the new light. I'm trying to correct my errors that has caused the plant to grow this way previous to purchasing the new light. also another grower just posted the same brand of light on this post as well, and didnt make any comments about it not being adequate. If you are absolutely 100% positive the light itself is a problem I will consider spending another $350 on top of the $250 i just spent for this light, but it has to be the root of the problem which i dont think it is, however as a new grower I cant claim to know anything so if you have data that suggests the VIVOSUN lights arent great and shouldnt be used, please provide it so I may review.What's the plant telling you....
The fan blows down, I dont currently have anything that can calculate the light intensity, I have a sensor that I use for soil moisture and temperature, it has capabilities to also sense light and its intensity but I haven't wrote any code to run the light sensor yet.Does it blow down or up?
Do you have anything to calculate light power?

Exactly, It's my fault the plant needs help, I especially cant point the blame at a set of lights that I've only used for 3 weeks at most.Who bad mouthin my Vivosun LightsIll have you know any problems in my grow sure were not the lights. All me folks.
Thanks, I could still be using this one. Moving from this to the VIVOSUN is light years ahead of what i was using hahaha.You're on the right track bro keep the train rolling. That light is not holding you back at all.
That's a horse of a different color .. well, if that light has made a difference since the last one then it should be adequate. My bad, I just saw the light and plant as a whole (in the OP) Might have missed the lighting change between posts (and if Itnwas mentioned in the OP... Yikes, might need glasses) .. alright good luck man. I think you'll be alright.That it really likes the new light, 2-3 weeks ago I wasnt using the light seen in the images, i was using something much smaller, and noticed an issue with growth which caused me to purchase a much, much larger light I'd say the new light is maybe 10 times the size of the old one.

Pfft honest mistake. Hell the other day I welcomes a new grower to RIUThat's a horse of a different color .. well, if that light has made a difference since the last one then it should be adequate.

Yeah, I should have stated I had recently swapped to this new light in the OP, but I did reply to your first post mentioning to get a larger light by stating this was already a larger light than what i was using. It's all good though, we all over look things sometimes and dont i take offense. I'm just a data driven person which is why I responded how I did, plus I had just spent $250 bucks and had someone telling me I need a $350 version haha.That's a horse of a different color .. well, if that light has made a difference since the last one then it should be adequate.

This, because the plants food is light, don't over do it but yea cut off the larf its a waste of energy. The plant has a total energy and if you cut the larf off the energy they had goes to the big budsIf you want thick ass buds .. lower that light a bit and chop the bottom buds. The energy will now all go to the top. If he didn't say it , I am.
