I haven't yet, but I did hang one in the tent last night and took the 600 watt HPS out.

My bigger light doesn't have a dimmer, but it has the ports to add one or to daisy chain. I wonder if I could daisy chain these two together and use the dimmer on the smaller light top control both??

I didn't get the optional dimmer as i plan on using the big light for flowering only, and will always run it at 100% (was my thought anyways). The bigger light also did not come with cable to mount the driver remotely, and the small light did!!

That would be cool if you could control them all with the little light. I did some jury rigging with my HLG 300 to make the driver remote... I was beyond the warranty anway.

I am in the market for a new light for the veg tent. I have my heart set on this one.

Too warm and no rain on the hill, several inches the last few days just south.

Gerry rigging even. It's not nice to rig a jury ... kind of illegal even.

There's an HLG QB288 BSpec over my VEG girls - and they love it.

I'm considering the bspec as well. I like the veg pro aesthetically 'cause it looks like my 350r's

If your new rig is going to just be a dedicated VEG light, you might also wanna take a peek at this one:

HLG 300L Bspec is ideal for a 600W HID replacement. High efficiency white light quantum boards. Samsung LM301H LED Full-spectrum White and 470nm Blue. Designed for Veg use only.

Coffee to all may you have a great day and a better night

I had a sausage burrito on my way to the drs....They are tasty! And i was good and only ordered one!

Pain management was depressing today. I was telling him about my appt. next week with a spine specialist and he said "don't let them fuse your SI joints, whatever you do".

He said the little relief I get from injections are all I can hope for. Not what you want to hear!!

Seems to me like they could go in and smooth out the arthritis by grinding the bones. They do with shoulders....But the doc said nope, it don't work like that.

hey that's a nice light!! makes me wish I had paid more attention to the sales instead of just reusing my older equipment.

Keep an eye on the deals thread...

The Best Deals Thread. Post Best Deals And Lowest Prices Links

I got 2 of these, had to return 1 as the ballast didn't work but got new 1 within just a couple days. Pretty good little light she's bright. Gonna use her as a veg light. That's what I am thinking....I've been using old blurples for vegging and I hate that purple light!!!

This will definitely only be used for veg. Flowering in a 3x3 sucked! Lol

That unit over the ladies is the predecessor to that BSpec you are interested in. I purchased the RSpec kit with the 660nm boards and when the Timbers came along, the RSpec boards were swapped out for 480nm BSpec boards.

I had no idea WTF I was doing

I gotcha now - a case of live n learn. Overcrowding is a great way to lower yields and meet the dreaded PM.

What's weird is I never had PM once in the tent. It only happened when I moved to the larger cabinet.

I trimmed a lot of larf lol.

I'm sure you have some failures in your growing history. Everyone does

manfredo · Jul 11, 2023

Yeah my current grow is over crowded....10 plants in a 4 x 8....I should probably pull 2. I meant to keep them small but they grew so freakin' fast in coco, they got away from me.

I even did something I never do last night...a little defoliating. Just a very little, and they are lolipopped hard with lots of ventilation and stable humidity, but no getting around they are crowded!

Me? Oh heavens yes. One failed grow was due to insufficient air flow in the tent and yup, I got all that dreaded grey stuff. Trashed the plants and gave the entire interior a good alcohol bath.

My gym was giving away Yeti Rambler water bottles today. I showed up a little late didn't get one. :cuss:

It was packed so I couldn't use the elliptical and ended up riding a bike with a seat that felt like a hatchet.

I don't know about my luck recently lol. My niece is convinced that the movie luck is about me. I'm starting to think she's right.
