Can you help me get the lights I need to pull the weight I need. I’ll commit. I’m not one to think 8000 diff nites will get me that pound. Proper equipment is important. Your source of “sun” is important. So let’s straighten that out next if we can. I have a mars hydro ts1000 vegging. And 4 qb 132 in my 4x4. The 132s are at full 70 watts each. Need more light I’m guessing base on what I’m seeing just need the most effective for the price. Think the qbs are the middle spectrum. Maybe 4000k? I’ll look. Hang on.

Hey man,

I can point you the right direction, but i’m not the right guy about getting the biggest bang for your buck or for electrical efficiency.

I do overkill and efficacy...

My fave atm in the 96 elite, but i use 6 in a 4x4 on individual drivers @ ~$175 per light&driver. Based on my mapping, you could get by with 4, but you'll have to run more wattage and run fans blowing on the heatsinks.

Sufficient wattage (30/60w per sqft) of any of hlg while led bds plus supplemental reds will give you similar yields as the 96s, at considerably lower wattage. Your nugs/colas will be a little smaller, but depending on training, you’ll get more of them.

Take a stroll through my current grow (2nd link on my sig) for more info. Either light can get you around 3/4 to 1+ lbs/plant in a 4 plant 4x4....using manifolds and my supplemental reds and co2 approach.

Tbone shuffle on gc is my recco for matching your bank account with the lights you need...

Use distilled or let your water sit out for at least 24hrs, 12 if you bubble it.

Other than chlorine, they add fluoride and water from treatment facilities which are allowed 18% fecal matter by federal law, and not all of the antibiotics/antidepressants/other meds are extracted out.

Yours is very low for most city water, so I wouldn't worry too much in your instance. Just let it sit out for a bit.

I don't use hydroguard. I use compost tea, all I've ever used.

Makes it much more resilient to ph/temp/ppm swings, coats your roots to prevent drought and rot, makes nutrient absorption much easier etc.

Keep your res temps high 60s, make sure there are no light leaks (that will usually just give you algae which isn't harmful, but a pain in the ass just the same), swap and sterilize your bucket if you get any bad smells immediately and peroxide rinse the roots and/or cut any rot off if it happens, keep your grow area sterile as you can so you don't bring in spores... Thats about all you can do really.
