    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
     
  2. 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

  4. 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.

    it does look nice and heavy, and so bright after I assembled it
     
  15. Hey I just signed up on Alibaba and followed your link and it tried to charge me $78 shipping. What am I doing wrong?
     
  16. 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
