3500kHmmm. I like your setup. What apectra are those Cree chips?
I'm looking at adding some more punch to my lighting.
Thank youNice start...
What size pots are they going into? Will you train / top them? How large do you plan to let them get?
I had started my LED research from Growmau5's videos on YouTube -- he used those so I basically just copied from someone who seemed to have put in a lot more research than me. I don't know the specifics of why 3500k is chosen.Okay. Cool. Any particular reason for choosing those ones? Are they better in some way than the others?
Ah interesting.Wow! you're growing trees then Sweet! I'm subbed.
just a suggestion, but maybe consider topping them a few times. You'll get a nice manageable plant with lots of tops. Just snip it at 3rd or fourth node.
The 3500 has something to do with efficiency... Growmau5 mentioned it once. under 3500 they are less efficient in some scientific way.
Also, 3500 is a nice color temperature for veg and flower. HPS is in the 2000-3000 color range. I forget the exact number.
I guess it just depends on how long you plan to veg and how large you want plants to be. 5 gallons (using soil) would seem pretty adequate for most purposes... I use 3 gallons.. No problems.. sort of end up with nice manageable plants. I think you have higher aspirations than me though This is a 3x3Ah interesting.
As this is my grow, I definitely don't know exactly what I'm doing so I'm not sure if (6) * 9 gallon pots can even fit in a 4'x4' tent, but if they can, I think I'm gonna go with that. And if not, then 6 gallons will do after the 3 gallon.
Haha honestly these are just my "plans" and we all know how plans changeI guess it just depends on how long you plan to veg and how large you want plants to be. 5 gallons (using soil) would seem pretty adequate for most purposes...

Yes, those are 3 gallons in a 3x3 tent. Except the little bratty auto in the center. My poor autos.. I abuse them They seem to get nothn but 12/12Haha honestly these are just my "plans" and we all know how plans change
In that first pic, are those all 3 gals in a 3'x3'? Yeah idk maybe 6 gals will be good enough? I was planning on veging like 6-7 weeks (including time as seedling) and flowering for like 8-10 weeks and curing for 0-2? Haven't researched much about curing yet. If 9 gals would mean I'd have to add another month compared to 6 gals, then I'm not sure I'd wanna do that? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
