Aside from 315 ceramics, SE 600s and DE lights are the most efficient HID lights available.

That's not true.

315w ceramics are crap.
The spread is nice and even but the photon intensity across the board is shit.

And the terrible performance concerning cannabis applications coupled with the cost makes 315w ceramics among the worst grow lights for cannabis available, they don't even come into it.

Growing question for you guys. I got a plant outside in a 20 L pot I think. I need to water it 3 to 4 times a day. My question is, how often should I be putting feed in the water? I've been doing once a day usually, but I"m not sure it's enough. Any input welcome. I'll go snap a pic just for fun and post in a few minutes.

Oh, and nice to see you all again... it's been a while. :)

Yeah, not too bad for a little thing I pulled out of the gravel in the spring. I'm amazed I ever even kept it alive, and really glad it was a girl. Not sure what strain it is, but it's for sure Breeders Boutique. I can only take so much credit as a grower, them genetics are where it's at. You can't really tell in the picture, but it has a nice little purple tint to it. Thanks for the advice cof.

Things are good. Daughter just turned 4 and is headed off to public school with all the spanish kids starting monday. Bought her uniform yesterday and was lucky enough to get her into the best school in our town. I'm tutoring kids in English for a bit of extra cash. I also just signed up for a yoga teacher training, which will certify me to be a teacher. And I've picked up road cycling. Longest ride so far was 100km. (i've pretty much totally converted to metric and Celsius now). Daughter is dancing these days and had her first big show last spring. Wife is busy as ever with all sorts of projects. Life is perfect, except that we are slowly running out of money and I'm still awaiting trial... but who cares about money and freedom anyways, lol. Lawyer says hopefully 2018 I'll have trial, with 2019 not out of the question. I never understood the whole "Right to a speedy trial thing"... I get it now.

This is why my opinion is the 315's shine for SCROG grows or as "supplemental" lighting in addition to another light source with better penetration. Although for veg you can't go wrong with a 315 if you are realistic with the coverage area.
 
Jig it is great to hear that you are enjoying the ride. Smart mover. :0)
That lady is soo bushy....plemon or sour cherry?

I am still above ground and growing all sorts of things as I make a pool
of keepers to work with.

Y, I love your stuff, but my LEC315 really does well, in a 4' tent (where 3' is the standard). Rock on.

I use a large funnel with a hose attached for watering the hard to reach plants.

I have a single plant in a 15 gallon pot and only water every other day - 5 gallons
 
It gets direct sun from sun up to sundown, and it's quite hot here, plus quite windy so it dries out quickly. Luckily I never leave home for more than a few hours at a time.

And JD I'm not positive what strain it is. I think it might be QQxPK... the smell doesn't give me the sense it's plemon. Where it grew has it narrowed down somewhat, as it came up in one corner of where the greenhouse was, so it must be one of the ones in that corner. I think that corner had Plemon, QQxPK, and QQ in it. I should check out the pics from last year. The smell is a bit black pepper mixed with a bit of earthy smell. Wife says the smell reminds her of my hindu skunk from way back.

Thanks cof, it's nice to be had.
