Hello folks I just found this awesome forum and I would love to get your expert opinion on my first grow To summarize what I did 1. 5 plants started in 4x4 2. 3x Gorilla Glue, 2x Girl Scout Cookies (Genetics quality unknown) 3. Vedge for 60 days 4. 5 Gal fabric pots filled like a 3-gal pot 5. Everything was so smooth until Powdery Mildew start attacking at beginning of flower, it slowed the growth compared to how fast it was before PM 6. I used 2x Vipraspectra 300W lights (Actual draw is 130W each from the wall) 7. Took them out of the tent to try to control the PM and increase airflow, heavy defoliation multiple times and treatments of milk spray, neem oil and baking soda 8. Baking soda fixed the Pm issue in one application finally. 9. Now It has been a week or two without PM but buds are super small no collas nothing
You’ll need more light to get fat colas. You’re at about 16 watts per square foot. It should be around 35-40. Add a couple 100watt quantum boards
Thanks newleaf. Is it safe to add more light at this stage of plant life? also do you have any recommendations for good brand lights, I always hear about spider farmer which is pricey, and also mars hydro and others.

Thanks HardDrive, looks good for the price point, have you used it personally or have more to share about it? Also do I need 1 or 2 kits of this light to cover my 4x4 much appreciated
I put the order in for 2 lights from alibaba will keep you guys updated. so far we are day 36 still so small it won't harvest shit this way lol
Holly shit I received it today my friend, I can't believe China to here is faster than Amazon prime! Thanks so much again, light comes on in 4 hours and I can't wait to install this big boy
Hey I just signed up on Alibaba and followed your link and it tried to charge me $78 shipping. What am I doing wrong?
I paid $90 because I wanted to pay with paypal it arrived in 2 days so I ain't complaining, $76 is correct because its higher weight than $50 shipping for one light but damn that thins is so fucking bright
