I bought a "blurple" - what can I expect?

[cogitech]

Well the high dollar qb I was referring to is all of 300 bucks. As for cmh they run similar spectrums to full spectrum leds.

Ya I'll never go CMH or HPS. Not interested in the power and heat.

QB/COB will be the way I go if/when I upgrade - but that is off the table right now, as stated.

Yep. Already been looking at them. No way to justify more $$$ spent until I see the results from the blurple.

I just spent $100 on a carbon scrubber for the exhaust. Bitches are getting stinky already (still in veg).

The bigger lights are big money but a decent qb light for your area wouldn’t have been bad then you could have expanded. Either way I hope your grow turns out well.

You will ALWAYS be your own worst critic .....

Happy Gardening

That's where my head is at. What I get is what I get and I can control all those other factors. Been doing a decent job of it so far, I would say - based on thelook and smell of the girls in my tent.

I do hover over them alot, especially when I am high, but I figure the CO2 in my breath can't be bad for them.

I have my plants I plan on growing outdoors growing in a tub in that back bathroom. Everytime I go to take a tinkle I blow on them.

OP .... You got pics of your setup ?

I have pics of the plants. Does this site allow uploads or do I need to host them elsewhere?

I can take pics of the setup, too.

I’d never go back I was simply stating the 315 watt cmh would have been much better than what your using. That 450 is maybe pull 180 Watts max.

You should be able to post pics now.

Ten days old growing under two 9Watt LED floodlights.

Bit of stretch there, no? (hey, I'm a noob, what to I know?)

Yah they’re only little flood lights nothing major. I think he uses them to start his plants.

Pulling very close to 200 from the wall.

Yeah and I bet his burple was just a fraction of the cost

All up to you to post ... Looks like you have been active on RIU so I am pretty sure you can. Word of advice : When submitting " Plant Pics " ( problems ) take pics with out BLURPLE light on ... It washes out the color of the leaves and shit.

They will be outside in the ground by next week.

What’s very close you have a ups or a killa watt on it? 180 is close to 200 lol.

300 isn’t much.....

Honestly guys, if I get 2 ounces out of these plants it'll keep me high for months. I smoke like a 1/4 gram a day.

That's my seedling chamber. It runs 24/7 while they growing. Those plants will be outside in the woods by next week, then I will start my Broccili plants( seeds are almost ready from last year)

Cool. I actually take all my pics through my green shades and it corrects the colour. In the future I plan on using my dSLR and setting a custom white balance.

If it works for you man good. I’m not trying to sell you on anything simply gave my opinion. I’ve done a lot with many different lights and simply relaying the info. I wish you the best for your grow.
