Im dumb because you can't read or comprehend. Go offline, you need it. Bobby G? Surprise......fuktard........ and your only allowed one email and one username, not one username per email. Guess you outed yourself as breaking that rule.......?
i was on here as BOBBY_G for about a year before i started CobKits (the business) 8/1/16
yup and have never once denied it. you think people call me "Cobby" is a coincidence?
Okay, that is an interesting invention, the cowcycle.
Strip lighting would be better in there I think.Here's my veg chamber, kind of makeshift but works well enough. It's 36"x18"x20" high. The lights are 60w replacement LEDs, 8.5w draw. Guess I should put more mylar on that top part, just didn't get around to it, had to plug a light hole with that cardboard for now. Anyway, the tops are very healthy but there is some lower leaf drop, but the canopies are pretty much closed over so not surprising. I was using 14w bulbs before but too much bleaching so had to dowsnsize to the 8.5s. That's two of the three lights there.
I guess the thing with the low wattage is shallow penetration. It was better with the 14w bulbs but as I said, hard on the tops. I find 4 plants per light works well. I mounted the lights through holes so only the 1/2" of diffuser is inside the chamber and there's some air space around it for air to chimney through and cool them somewhat. I needed all the vertical space I could get and mounting them inside ate up too much and was also too hot in there. Those plants are 12" from pot to top, ready to flower. Actually I give them the first week of flowering right in that chamber, keeps them manageably small and makes a 10 week flower period possible in a perpetual with 3 larger chambers at 3 week intervals.
Yeah but then you gotta buy drivers and pay for shipping. These bulbs have builtin drivers and are widely available in stores, and cost less on top of that. But if a person were inclined to buy strips they would indeed work well for short chambers like that.
cant you go any taller?
Not really. I get mine in 10.5"-24" x 4' plug n grow.
Live and learn. You were doing it the slow as molasses way. And the not get any more potent way. The way I do it, the potency gets boosted quite substantially. But keep doing it your way. My way actually requires some brains so a little out of your league I'm afraid. Stick to chop, hang wait. More your speed.
That's the problem isn't it, limited space, in my case, extremely limited. But they do work better with more headroom. My first flowering chamber, where they go after the first week of flowering in the short chamber, is more like 4 feet tall. The short one is on top of that, such is my space limitation. But that 4' one has 10 of the 14w bulbs, so more total light wattage, like a normal 30w or so per sq ft. They grow nice in there for weeks 2-4, then moved to even higher chambers for the final 6 weeks, with HPS and LED mixture now, though all COB before, until they started giving out, COBs and drivers both. I could put the one good driver together with the one good COB array and have one good COB setup, just decided to try the HPS/LED bulb combo and see how it does.
No way, José!
It's this right here, equal intensities of various lights. Granted they're selling their special "secret" type of LED grow lights but the study could still be valid. From https://thegreensunshineco.com/hps-vs-led-grow/
Nothing like smoking weed that smells like it was already vaped
ANYONE but yourself and i'd think that comment was sarcastic
