Just lost a second branch to the caterpillars. Any salvageable flower from that branch went into my coffee this morning. Saw the birds checking that branch afterwards, too little too late birdies, but I appreciate the effort.
I have an idea about aerated teas... that a significant and overlooked reason why aerated teas are so beneficial is dissolved atmospheric nitrogen causing an explosion in the activity and population size of nitrogen fixing bacteria.
Part of this idea is the observation of rapid growth after rains, compared to regular watering. Rain collects dissolved gases as it falls, including nitrogen. Since most native soil is relatively hard and nonporous, it doesn't seem like there would be much direct gas exchange from the air into the soil, so nitrogen fixers would rely on rain to transport atmospheric nitrogen into the ground.
Any thoughts?
Thanks man, I am pretty excited. I want to upgrade the lights after few runs.
Currently leaning towards this
320W XL QB® V2 Rspec® LED Kit
Ultra High Efficiency LED Boards for DIY. QB288 has 288pcs Samsung LM301H LED. 320 Watt Lamp Kit suited for main light and supplement lighting. 3 ft. long heatsink for a wider spread.horticulturelightinggroup.com
but the compact metal halides also are catching my eye
Versus three.@tomatoesarecooltoo I dont think HLG makes a v3. I could be wrong but I don't see it.
Versus three.
I dont think HLG make a version 3. From all I can find its the Chinese knock offs.Versus three.
Edit: or do you mean the 320 part.

@tomatoesarecooltoo if you can link the specific lights I can give you a better opinion
Oh my bad bro. What are the dimensions your trying to cover?I never said version 3. 3 is referring to the number of lights I would need.

I would try a mulch t0 prevent that bind weed and see what happens.
Did you pinch that air clearner off your car
I get small grubs here every now and then from the white moth in summer time they bore into the top buds and stem..they are bout 20mm long..real hard to pick up apart from seeing them and seeing a little bit of dead bud..never seen em take a branch out.obviously you got bigger ones lol..
Your plants look great bro
If they cost the same 320 fits that foot print well and will run at 340w max power off 1 driver.No problem
5ft x 2.5ft
If they cost the same 320 fits that foot print well and will run at 340w max power off 1 driver.
The 100's will cover that also but all 3 would top out at 285w and run 3 drivers.
Ideal would be about 375w spread evenly which they both will do.
I think the 320 wins hands down here and puts you pretty close to ideal.
No this is wrong. And comparing a reflective tent to open air. You can't get more light out of less watts with the same boards. The hlg 100 runs no heat sink and therefore less watts. The boards are the same. Spacing will be almost identical for most even coverageNot sure it's at all obvious. In fact, I would lean heavily to the three light option if you plan to fill the room.
Here is the ppfd map for the light.

At the edge of a four by four you're at 340 max. At a 5x2.5? Idk, not great on either side. You really want to be around 500-700 for flower iirc (no co2). Much below that is not enough light.
Here is the map for the 100w.

At twelve inches, with three side by side but evenly apart, you will have a little overlap that could easily push those edge numbers up significantly. I think you can get good coverage that way. Plus it's less energy.
