Show us a grow......

I hope HLG actually does a comparison study on available LEDs. HLG made some boards using Nichia LEDs, the QB 324 ( I still have a couple ) So it should be interesting to see what way they go. The biggest problem with Cree is their pricing.....

part of HLG's problem, and actually the most of the horticultural light indistry, is that Samsung no longer is in the LED business! I believe production stopped a couple months ago. So HLG has to go to a new supplier, maybe Nichia. No more QB 288, no more Diablo boards... Glad I have a couple...

I've averaged 60 grams per plant in 2 gallon with autos, never tried photos in that small a pot

However, this is in a standard, true 3 gallon pot. Organic soil, 95 days total, just water

This is in a 3.9 gallon Autopot, The plant filled an entire 4'x4' space

I shake my head every time I see someone say seedlings need lower light levels. How much light does a newly sprouted seedling in May, outdoors get??? 1700PPFD? More? Dial down your light to save power then lower the light closer to your seedlings. I keep mine in the 600-800 PPFD range with no...

My QB 304s have been running almost non stop for 8 years now!

Contact HLG even if out of warranty, they might help you out in some manner.

Hey Long time no see lol! Resurrect that old QB 304 light! plop on a new driver and off you go! My QB 304 light with never released 90 CRI LED is still running! I gave it to a friend about 3 years ago and it's still in use! And I see your making good use of the Blackbird! I grow mostly...

Are these still available? 8x Kandahar Black 2022 Preservation

SOG is fine for those who are still working the black market, but for growers trying to maintain a grow in a legal state, it's no longer an option. And I've always questioned SCROG because of the time involved to grow, train and flower a plant. If yield is the goal you also ave to consider time...

I agree with you about regenerative organics. However, the same " more is better and too much is just enough" thinking also thrives among organic growers, and that is the source of error prevalent in both salts based farming and organic. People need to stop thinking they can force feed plants...

I wish I could! I have done so in person at various gatherings however.

It's not the lights, at least if it's a quality brand. It's long since been proven that LED lighting is superior to HID. Secondly, there is no way for HID to have better penetration when it's light output is non directional. With LED ALL the light is pointed toward the plants. I've been growing...
