Hey guys,
I recently purchased a Platinum LED p150 grow light (87w actual power draw) and will be comparing it to a 75w T5 light that I used in my last grow journal (harvested 40g bud & 40g trim/popcorn nugs) . In addition to the light, I built a SCROG screen to try and simplify the task of spreading the canopy (last time I had a mess of slipknots by the end). Otherwise the grow conditions are exactly the same, including the strains that I will be growing.
My setup is:
- 2.5'(width) x 1.5'(depth) x 3'(height) Milliard grow tent inside of a cabinet that I fitted with a lock.
- 4"x8" Phresh Filter (150 cfm) connected to an Apollo Horticulture 4" (190 cfm) inline duct fan, with insulated ducting leading out the top of the tent. I also have a 6" Lasko fan blowing across the tops of the plants at all times.
The plants I am growing are Dinafem Industrial Plant Auto CBD (1:2 THC:CBD) and Dinafem Haze Auto CBD (1:1 THC:CBD). They were soil germinated in their final containers (3 gal fabric pots).
The light has been fixed at 26" above the soil, which is on the closer end of the recommended hanging height for seedlings with this light (with only veg switch on). I noticed the seedlings stretching, however, and flipped on the bloom switch to give them a bit more light. They seem to be thriving now.
From what Mark at Platinum LED told me it's within reason to expect 1g/watt of their lights, so this time around I'm aiming for ~3oz total off the 2 plants. We'll see what happens!
