I'm going to run this ViparSpectra XS1500 PRO in a 2x2 tent along with some tester seeds sent to me by a friend out in CO. He's been working with a few strains, and didn't really disclose the cross involved. He just said that if I found a female, or 2.. It should be fire. If my brain has a brain.. I believe Terpfi3nd's Nag Champa has something to do with it. Seeds are sitting in solo cups waiting to sprout.
A new 2x2 tent is being put up to accommodate 7 out of 10 seeds that popped right away.
They are regular seeds so I will have to seek & destroy any males. Hoping to get 2-3 females. 2 is fine..
but one at the least to finish out. If I happen to somehow end up with no females, I have plenty of clones I can use, or other seeds I can pop. I'd love to run 2 plants with 6 colas each in 2gal pots. Let's see how it plays out.
I'm unsure what I will be feeding for this grow. It will either be Athena, Lotus, or a concoction of things I have laying around. Why stop experimenting at the light & seeds right?
They will be transplanted 14 days after sprout. 14 days later they will be flipped. Whoever throws balls will get 86'd on sight. Those who don't will get transplanted. Pot size depends on how many are left. Clones will be taken, for I don't know what I'm in for, and there may be some potential for me to keep & share.
I would like to thank @ViparSpectra for extending this opportunity my way to test out this new light. It's a 150W power draw from the wall, but I've tested it at 160w at 100% power. Not bad at all. Hoping this isn't an issue seeing how it is greater than the advertised power rating by a little over 6% instead of 3%. Doesn't seem like a huge difference, but I'm no electrician.
Here's some more info on the light provided by the manufacturer:
XS1500 PRO Key Features
1. High Photon Density:
The New-Gen Lens is algorithmically positioned to create the highest PAR map and the deepest penetration.
2. Perfect fit in 2x2 tent:
The PPFD in a 2x2 tent is from 900 to 1000 μmol/m²/s, which meet the flowering needs of each plants in each corner. XS Pro Series bring big earns to every grower.
3. Uniform PAR Distribution:
The Ave. PPFD is 942 umol/㎡/s. in 2x2 tent, Boost Yields to Higher Level;
4. Multi-Light Dimming Daisy Chain:
Control up to 20 lights. Save your time;
5. Dimmer Knob:
Easy to change your light intensity as needed from 5% to 100%.
6. Optimized Spectrum:
Algorithmically designed ratio of white, red, and IR diodes, optimizes plant growth in all stages.
I will return with more photos of the set up once I get Everything put together. The tent still needs a few things like exhaust & a fan. I can gather those things to be cleaned prior to installation. Even with other things going on I should have pics before this time tomorrow.
Cheers RIU.
