The seeds: auto uk cheese from captain red beard
The light: Honorsen 100w duel switch. Will probably grab a groplanner while their cheap just for a easy watt boost.
The tent: currently in the 3×3 grow section of my 2in1 will probably get moved to my 2x2.
Soil= happy frog 3gal cloth pots
Feed=cutting edge solutions
Soaked 19th planted 22nd sprouts on the 26th 28th and 29th.

Light upgrade came today.
Adiding 480
Advertised as 480w but driver states 500 dont have a test meter
Fits like a glove in a 3×3
You're gonna love that light. I had 2 extra plants that I stuck in a closet with that light, I'm now in week 6 with fat, sticky buds....Looking as good as the same plants under a 640 watt LED. I'm so glad i snagged 2 of them!!

It's powerful...Be careful vegging.

Shit, I'm high....I bought the 300 watt models. Hopefully the 500 does great too! I'm sure it will.

Yeah its at 25% and a good 2+feet over the tops, even with the detachable driver outside the tent my soil level is 80f when my room is 68f with central air

Didnt you get 2 for like a $160? So like $.25/w
I didnt jump on the double discount fast enough and got 480w for $180 so like $.37/w. Still happy that i got honest imput from you and other RIU folks and a hell a lot cheaper then FCE serise its a knock off of and i prefer the dumb modles. First bar style light I got and just after plugging it in i dont think i will get another pannel light

love the name of this thread, im in
The seeds were bought bc captin red beard charges $10 shipping for orders under $50 and i was buying a$40pack already and they we're $30.
Horozon was bought second hand for $20bc i got my origal set up of a cheap skate grifter "consultant" to use as a wattage boost and now is thought of as my backup/loner.
Adiding was shopped bc i blow a lot of my light budget on 1 HLG when i had 3 tents to light.

Yeah less than that...I think it was 2 for $110. Under $60 a light with tax. I'm using one now and it's definitely exceeding my expectations all around.

I'll get the pots off the ground and over a drain pan next week or whenever their stretch starts same time I put in the net and readjust my light and fans
Being very hands off with all my grows atm. Just a quick peak at the start and end of the light time. Quick light waters every 3rd day.
