You think the 550 rspec v2 would outperform your cmh beernutz??

The 550 would outperform the cmh as a single light EASY wether it outperforms the qb and the cmh I had in the tent together won't get answered proper until I do a run with the 550

I had the cmh315 and qb288 side by side and they preformed well together
I like both of them although the cmh throws to much heat when we were heading into summer as I was finishing
But I'm just looking at the 550 as more ease just one light less fucking around and I think I could bump my yield up by 3-4 oz without much extra extra on my behalf
I've got solar so going to a bigger single light is not a concern $ wise

I’m hearing ya on the heat side of things beernutz! You may use less power if your putting out less heat... air con won’t have to work so hard!

I’ve been looking at leds for a while now. The 550 was one that I was considering. Has had good reviews.

I don't use air con mate I'm only a one run in the tent per year grower
Power output doesn't bother me with the solar deal I have

I know a few lads who use it...hands down does the job

My son is taking the 315cmh
I'll keep the 288 until I've done a run with the 550
In terms of yield I had 13.5 oz for the 315 and 288 added in flower only the 550 all the way through solo should be gd enough to see that yield increase to 20 oz
Providing everything is grow all right

If your yield increases from 13.5 ozs to 20 ozs, it’s easily paid itself off after 1 grow!!

Have a look at this thing the first 4 inch’s if pretty much leaf

Looks like something out of meet the feebles

It was my first ever tent run handwatered daily coco 13.5 oz
The 550 will bump that up just by hitting even more density of buds
That and one learning exp behind me would see a 4-6 oz increase

Wow! Looks like you still have more time before chop, let it go as long as you can and let the calyx’s swell. Might not be so bad then!?

That sucks!!

Make sure you scrog or throw a net over them 1st day of 12/12, with a thick even canopy it’s definitely achievable if that lights as good as it sounds

 

[PURPLEB3RRYKUSH]

That sucks!!

I know, i plant straight into dirt, no soaking, might try a different method, soak the seed for 18 hours in water then straight into pot, maybe help soften the seed

 

[PURPLEB3RRYKUSH]

Or maybe scuff em up 1st

 

[kwigybo88]

Yes

Yeah not really interested in them. Thanks though. Very kind of you to offer.

Do people just use a nail file or bit of fine sandpaper or something?
I've never done it but got some 10yr+ old Resevoir (snitch bitch) Seeds stock that I want to try popping.

That bud had fasciation and grew retarded.
I took this shot 2 weeks ago I don’t think any waiting was going to save cousin it. The rest of the plant was cloudy slight amber and that whole branch stayed clear. It was always big but never kept up in the bud development that was good enough for me. In the coconut oil she goes
