You’ll pay more for quality LED fixtures But you’ll have significantly better lighting. I know there are a lot of QB fans, but that type if light source is very center weighted so anything not directly under the light is getting much lower PAR. Bar style fixtures from Fluence, Gavita, Mammoth...

This is the PAR map for that 800w 10 bar fixture. Unlike many of the fixtures out there it's rated for a 5x5 flower footprint. Granted it's $1,099 but it ships from upstate NY and has a 5 year warranty. A similar fixture from China would save you 200-250 after shipping but good luck with...

You can find screw base UV-C bulbs on Amazon that will do the same thing using your tent fans to move the air. Just be sure to use a ceramic base (think old style overhead garage/basement lights). Most plastics don't stand up to UV-C. Also, be sure to run your wire in conduit or use UV rated...

Please bear in mind you''re looking at a 5x5 space. QB lights PAR values are insanely center weighted. You'll be MUCH better off with a 47" x 43" (for example) bar style fixture. This one happens to be a 10 bar fixture but there are 6 and 8 bar models as well. Just understand that the...

You're absolutely correct ... late night typing error ... should have been 600-800w

Well, you'll need 2 proper lights for a 10 x 5 but baby steps :). There are tons of choices out there and whatever I suggest will bring an avalanche of why something else is better ... but ... there are really 3 general ways to go for a 5x10 space 2 x double ended 1000w HPS 4 x 315w CMH (on...

Put them both on a 5x5 area on one side of the tent and grow out 4 plants. You'll gain some valuable knowledge and be able to put aside enough money to buy 1 proper light for the next round. Buying more trash right now because it's cheap won't get you anything useful.

No temperature problems ... just a reservoir outside the tents ... no need for airstones ... just 1 feeding a day. It's drain to waste so no ppm or ph drift. I like hempies but all methods produce well with the right lights, nutes, and enviroment.

Before I switched to hempy buckets I used to use and re-use 7 gal fabric pots. With the darker colors (gray, black. brown) algae wasn't really an issue. White anything in the tent is going to be an algae magnet

If you want air pruning start pots these are awesome https://myrootmaker.com/collections/propagation-trays-and-cells/products/express-18-injected-molded-tray

Light + white + water = algae Bury your watering tubes and inch or 2 and the top will be algae free.

Try these https://www.greenhousemegastore.com/containers-trays/bags-pouches/ Not a tap root in sight just a mass of thirsty "hairs" and very easy on the wallet. A 10-pack of 7 gal pots is $20

None of them are air pruning pots

The 3% hydrogen peroxide you get at CVS or the supermarket will kill it. Assuming you have around a pound, put your buds in a 5 gallon bucket and cover them with hydrogen peroxide. Let is sit for at least a couple of hours until the reaction stops and it's no longer generating heat. Pour off...

Thanks! I grow in 4 gal coco hempy buckets so it should be interesting managing the nutes until the plant gets its act together :)

Interesting concept ... makes sense though. A couple of thoughts ... How successful percentagewise is revegging? I would love it if I didn't have to take clones before I knew what each plant would turn out like and I could just clone form a revegg of plants I wanted to keep as mothers.

Let's not hijack this thread. Be happy to continue this as a conversation

Unless you're growing lettuce or spinach you really don't want to run 730/735nm lights during the day. For leafy greens, that's great ... for cannabis and other flowering plants you'll cause excessive stretch. For our (cannabis growers) purposes, about 15 minutes a day at/after lights out...
