Nextlight Mini 150w grow

[NapalmD]

Day 50
I might even take these 64 days. I thought it was a longer flowering pheno but it seems its at its peak juiciest between now and day 63
I don't know if it's because I had the cobs a little closer at the end where I would usually raise them up the last week or if I took them too long but the buds seem tighter under the nextlight and definitely a bit more stickier possibly from the 5000k split. We'll see after harvest.

Day 54
Today was their last day of nutes.
Starting flush on Wednesday or maybe a light 1/2 strength feeding and will cut the lights in 10 days from then.
Finally plugged the light into my killowatt out of curiosity and it only pulls 139w at the wall!
A gpw is looking very realistic.
Buds are super frosty and solid even with the extreme humidity I've had lately.

Fuck yeah !............ so far so good on the nextlight, lets see how puff does....

Be safe

Thanks man! Definitely pleased with the results so far. Could of ran this in one of those short gorilla tents, no problem.
A stealth growers dream! Compact, no noise, negligible heat and great spread.
Can't wait to see and sample the finished product.

Makes me second guess not wanting to try out blue dream!

Be like me, cross BD with a high potency indica.

You'll get the heavy yields of BD but with a bit more kick.

I've always wanted to try to pollinate a single branch as so many do. But I'm afraid of getting the whole grow on accident .

Thanks man! I planned on taking it another 10 days from today maybe 15 depending how she looks. Last one I took 77 days and it cooked it. It was at its sweet spot between 64-67 days

Day 60
Second water only feeding today of its 10 day flush. Lights out in 7 days on day 67, maybe 70.

They are definitely frostier than my last run with this BD under the cobs but that was error on my part. Regardless, I'm definitely a fan of mixing spectrums now. When building my light a few years ago I thought it would be a good idea but a few growers said the spectrums would fight each other to get to the canopy deeming one spectrum pretty much useless.
Well from my experience it was a wicked brawl and the girls loved all the entertainment.

My buddy was offered to test out the Nextlight mini package but after receiving the light and 2x2.5 tent wasn't able to run it due to unforeseen circumstances so I obliged.
I figure if it doesn't make the cut it only costs me 150w + 20w for the fan in electric a month. Not the end of the world.
Plus I had 4 Blue Dream clones that were getting binned anyway due to space so it worked out.
I'm on day 29 with the Blue Dream under my cobs so I'll be able to get a good comparison of the exact same plant as far as quality and density etc...

Just set it up today and moved the clones which are approx 4 weeks old into the tent. Also topped them just now.
I'll let them veg for another 2 weeks then flip.
It's pretty darn bright but not as blinding as my cobs but it's also pulling 90w less so I'm sure that makes a difference.
It's been on about 3 hrs now and is just warm to the touch, slightly warmer than one of my cxa's bars but oddly enough the temp inside the tent didn't budge from before I hung the light till now and it's passively cooled.

It's a 50/50 mix of 3000k and 5000k.
I'll update on day one of flower and give it a fair run. Girls are in coco as well with Jacks 321 straight through.

Is the mini150 completely passive -- Does there appear to be a slim heatsink or are they just mounted on a metal PCB?

Passive and no they don't have heatsinks

 

[PurpleBuz]

Passive and no they don't have heatsinks

how warm is the back of the unit over the leds ?

 

[puffenuff]

Going off memory and haven't touched them in quite a while, I'd say not even warm, more like lukewarm.

 

[Chronikool]

Wow..... @NapalmD and @puffenuff ...really is a stealth little light with a punch huh....

Great resultz developing

Think i wanna get that 'stackashelve' diy samsung smd grow light project started...

Thanks! I thought I mentioned it but it actually only pulls 139w at the wall.

Like Puff said just lukewarm.

Thanks man! Yeah these things definitely pack a punch. I would like to try a stack set up myself if not run two of these in a 2x4 area.

This looks really impressive! So you vegged four clones for 6 weeks before flipping, right? Not too bad, man! They looked really insignificant before flipping, and know there are freaking big buds all over the place. Was this mainlining or just regular topping? How much defoliation do you do? - There seems to be a really nice leaf-bud ratio going on. Watch out for RH these last days, it is something I have been having issues with myself. Its heart-breaking. Im waiting on my 4x2 to set up 400w of cree3590, so Im looking at all ways to make the most of that. Thanks for sharing, man!
