I have a Mars hydro reflector 48. Do you think it is powerful enough for the 8 hour cycle?
I am only growing one plant at a time.

Tbh I have never used any other led before this one so I'm not really sure.
If it's just a little power saving you are after you could always start at 12/12 and work your way down.
I started this journal with only 6 hrs and found the loss of yield unacceptable so I added.
Have you done many crops with that light yet?

No, actually. This is my first and I don't really trust it so I have been supplementing with CFLs. Maybe next time out I will do a bunch of experimenting with all the things I have learned here!

Ah
Ok then
No u should stick to the more commonly used lighting schedules.
They are more tried and true and have way less chance of loss especially considering that you are only running one plant.
12/12 or 11/13 heck even 10/14
Once you get it going well and have a buffer to tinker then you can experiment and see what cycle provides best for you and your situation.

Yep. Sickly, spindly, light starved and no frost as usual.

You should send those to me immediately and I'll be sure they're quickly disposed of so you don't embarrass yourself any further.
:P

LOL

Fine work, as usual. Seems the quantum boards work really well with short day grow strategies.

Naa
I think everyones right
These probably will be much less potentcy and hardly worth the cost of shipping. I'd feel bad wasting the mailmans time.

The two dank Sinatra and goji og x dank Sinatra got chopped today.
All are hanging now and will be weighed in a few days before going into jars.

The space phantom and atf x ssdd look to have another couple weeks to go once they are dried and weighed I'll post up the final numbers for those following along.

Replaced the 3 I chopped with
1 grandpasbreath
1 more cowbell
1 dream beaver

Working on getting a better light in my veg tent. Hoping to start vegging at least a month and a half to two months.

I have a funny feeling something's going to turn up I'm done waiting.

Nice quick finish on those Sinatra's :)

Are you looking at any specific techs for your veg lights?

Yeah I'd take 46 days any day ;)

Don't know what footprint you're looking to cover off but I was looking around and noticed HLG has some 5000k 135w QB kits in stock...
