Let me get this straight. Perpetual meaning, you always have plants comin into flower soon. So like. 4 plants in a room/tent... one in each stagei like to grow bushes. And i run a staggered perpetual with plants at all stages. I move my plants around every day. Cobs seem best suited to flower in my style. And the closest replacement for hps style growing.

(1 inPropogation/Germination, 1 inEarly Veg, 1 inLate Veg/Early Flower, and 1 in Harvestable parameters)
and then one drying/curing
As such you prefer not to use a scrog and let them grow bushy so that they are easier to move aroud and dont overcrowd/overshadow others
COBs are compact with good penetration, so they work for growing bushes as opposed to scrogs which I assume would prefer strips or boards
Am I getting that basically correct. Trying to make sure I understand this correctly.
Thanks a bunch.
Good points from all of ya. @MIMedGrower My style is similar to yours, perpetual grow, different strains. So Timber cob hlg strip or cheap ass qboard. As a couple of you have mentioned, the construction of the strips can lead to real world issues with cranial contusions... I am clumsy and constantly hit my head on the hid hoods, they flex and bounce back. I can see me chipping my noggin on a strip frame corner one too many times and swatting the whole thing to the ground and stomping it and the plants underneath to a satsfying pulp. I think the timber cob is more impact resistant and has smoother corners lol. Either that or wear a fucking hockey helmet and go hlg....View attachment 1098658
helmet is sounding better every time I picture that. Funny going to town this evening, following an ambulance with a fucked up led signal light/tail array (850 bucks for the module) brand new...and one of those oh=so beautiful led boards above the pumps at the gas station, this must be 1000W true, 1 year old and blinking away with yet another cheap shit driver fail... I think I am selling out to new engineered-by-millenial-throw away garbage by buying an LED. Seems like a violation of my principals of quality engineering and getting what you pay for... Imma gonna save the planet of all the terrible led product toxic waste and stay with hid, , besides all you yunguns will have NO PROBLEM using electricity because like it comes from the sun eh? Fuck i'm wondering what our Ministry of Transport did with the million or so 1000W outdoor sodium streetlamp fixtures they replaced the last cpl years?you would knock yourself out On my sun system blockbuster air cooled glass enclosed reflectors. They are double wall steel and powdercoated like a car.
Fuckin A you are rightYou should be able to show the lighting used without backlash from the forum. We’re all trying to grow top shelf.
not right that the name Mars or spider would have such a strong troll following unless some had a hidden agenda.
which is why I dont trust anyone’s results but my own.
Chevy vs. Ford vs. Honda same differenceFuckin A you are right
Hey all - does anyone happen to have a PPFD chart for the HLG 260xl RSPEC? HLG publishes charts for pretty much every light they sell, but not this one. Anyone ever come across a chart for the XL on the interwebs? Or made their own? Really having trouble figuring how far to hang/how much to dim in my 2x4. Trying to avoid buying an expensive par meter...
Check out scynce 5 phase flower recipe. On their website go to tech talk, spectrums, seasonalLooking at their website, the lamp seems to have 2.6 µmol/J efficacy. 250 watts x 2.6 = 650 PPF (µmol/s)
2x4' grow area equals 0.72 m2.
650 PPFD divided by 0.72 m2 = 902 PPFD (µmol/m2/s) average
Ligh should be spreading fairly evenly in your grow space at 2'/60cm distance between lamp and plants.
Seedlings 100-200 PPFD (dim to 11-22% power draw)
Early veg 200-300 PPFD (dim to 22-33% power draw)
Late veg 300-400 PPFD (dim to 33-44% power draw)
Early flowering 400-600 PPFD (dim to 44-66% power draw)
Late flowering 600-900 PPFD (dim to 66-100% power draw)
A watt meter will help with a lot of the confusion. Hope this helped! :-)
Nice website. What am I supposed to look at?Check out scynce 5 phase flower recipe. On their website go to tech talk, spectrums, seasonal
It’s interesting how they turn down the PPFD after bulking phase and then again for the last couple days.Nice website. What am I supposed to look at?
