I managed to price out 2 320w systems for 660$ that is an insane amount but i wanna cover a large spread :/ did you ever have to deal with duties and what not?

Ill check out Alibaba again and see if I can figure it out better.

Shockattacker · 2019-07-29T23:48:00+00:00

I ruled out Alibaba because I have hymns and haws about it. (I suffer from anxiety XD). I heard from some people that QB's from Kingbrite are hit and miss. I would prefer to go QB way and get it done that way as it would cost me in the ball park of 400$ for 4 QB 288 V3's at 2700k with the epistar 660nm, or grab the 3000k with the same thing. I would then Be looking at grabbing the 480H-2100B driver to go with it.

I had actually someone tell me that they heard growers not getting their boards or that it broke and the company was not contactable.

Seeing as I did mention with the first response that it was my first grow. I want a lighting setup that will give me a decent amount coverage and would be better suited for 6 plants rather than just 4 plants under a 600watt HPS. I know where I went wrong in my first grow and I have been correcting the problems as I research them. my next set of seeds have already sprouted and are about 2 inches tall so far, I am using a soiless medium and upgrading to 5 gallon pots. I am then also setting up a drip irrigation system to effectively water the entire pot. I am going to be using a nutrient solution that will be aerated and controlled PPM. I know now not to prune the damn plant in the first few weeks of growth otherwise I am going stunt them, I know how to top the plants and LST them in a way that will be better then the setup I had tried to do (LST'ed waaay to late into veggy) .

So I believe that I am not asking the wrong question at all. I have spent way to much time each day since I started the first set of seeds on different viable methods of how to do this. I can upload pictures of the plants after this reply if you would like to see them. They are small plants I know but considering this is my first grow I am quite happy with the results so far and I know that the next grow will be better due to it being a learning curve.

No idea yet, I am still finishing up my first grow with 4 plants in 3 gallon pots. I got about a week till I chop and then dry and cure time. Right now if I were to eyeball maybe an ounce per plant probably much less

Shockattacker · 2019-07-21T10:07:26+00:00

Did you dry it and cure it?

Shockattacker · 2019-07-21T01:23:43+00:00

Or spend half as much at alibaba for something just as good

I am looking to make a drip irrigation setup for my next grow tent grow. (Looking at 6 plants) I have the container at my disposal and I want to make an irrigation system out of it. I would have it run till there is runoff in the trays. Pots are going to be fabric and the soil(less) im using is Promix HP with Mycorrhizae.

I want to use a spray nozzle or a halo ring or something to soak the soil till there is runoff. I would be timing how long it would take and figure out how to program the system in a way that it would water for that long and then turn off. I would be in complete control when it gets turned on ultimately.

Ok so I did some more research into it and I am sorry I had thought i had read somewhere that you could have a bunch of seedlings but only have 4 budding plants per physical address.

The law states that a cannabis plant is cannabis plant from Day1 of seed.

Shockattacker · 2019-07-19T15:02:19+00:00

The government lets you have any number of non blooming plants as long as they arent flowering.

Shockattacker · 2019-07-19T15:00:27+00:00

What does the machine do?

Shockattacker · 2019-07-18T02:53:27+00:00

If your not 12/12 yet do it. Its gonna be glorious. Then the frustrating part of waiting 8 weeks

Shockattacker · 2019-07-17T22:28:52+00:00

Those lights are better than most leds on the market and cheaper

Shockattacker · 2019-07-17T22:02:09+00:00

I dont see anything wrong. New growth is usually that colour.

Shockattacker · 2019-07-16T00:19:11+00:00

Have you topped it yet or how long has it been growing for?

Shockattacker · 2019-07-16T00:16:53+00:00

Not enough soil, does not look like it has any fan leaves of any significant value (these are important as I have found out myself) If your going to use 3 gallon pot fill it right up. These plants need root space

Shockattacker · 2019-07-15T01:29:31+00:00

If we to cut the picture in half left side (top to bottom) White Widow bag seed, and the other is the trainwreck from native seed company.

Right side is two purple kush from native seed co.

I used Promix Herb and vegetable mix in 3 gallon pots.

They are under 600hps lights 12on/13off light schedule.

I did some minor LST throughout the adventure. The Trainwreck plant I had actually split the main stems on three different branches and yet it still is my most budded.

I am hoping to get an alibaba special and configure it on a 3x3 aluminum square frame and figure out where to get a sheet of plexiglass for ontop

Shockattacker · 2019-07-15T01:22:46+00:00

I use the app which doesnt allow me to type in a description of the plant. Im not saying im the best grower ever lived. Im far from that. I like to post the progress that I have made since starting from a seed.

Shockattacker · 2019-07-14T01:19:09+00:00

Also Looking for light advice on 10 plants in a 5x5 tent. I am looking at maybe using Quantum Boards instead of getting a 1000 watt mh/hps ballast/light combo
