Hey fellas,
This will be my 3rd grow, one for each decade. 90s I used cfl in my closet as akid. Then a 400w hps in the early 2000s - and now its time to get serious with an led.
Feedback is welcome - what can I do better?
Got the 4x4 tent, using three, 5 gallon buckets. 2 white widow autos by Dutch Passion, 1 Violator Kush by Barneys. DWC with advanced nutes.
I will be using the scrog method and plan to be pretty aggressive with lst and topping, keeping the plants as short and bushy as possible.
I am on a budget and have tossed and turned over so many leds, Mars and Vipar are the front runners - leaning towards the Vipar 900w - rated at 450 actual watts, claiming it replaces a 1000w hps (which I doubt) - but I don't mind adding more lights down the road.
Ill order the light this Friday, the rest is g2g.
I do not have a ventilation system in place yet - I am prepared to install one if the temps are out of hand.
Yield - of course Id love two pounds dry but I am hoping 1-1.5 is very realistic.
Thoughts guys?
Anything I can add to make this a better grow? By the time flowering comes around I will likely add another led, maybe some ufo's or a couple of the old school Mars 300, though I worry about the heat.
My main concern is that 3 plants may get crowded. What would you all recommend for veg time?
