Stretchy or na

  1. Hey y’all this is my indoor Green Crack autoflower grow does it look kinda stretchy or looks normal to y’all?

  2. no, something is off with the new growth, maybe the lights are too close, not sure.

  3. Hmm could be the flash on my phone but if that’s the case I’ll raise my lights up more high right now!
     
  4. Definitely a little more space between nodes then what I personally like, what are you using for a light and how far away from the canopy?

  5. the space between the first and second node looks stretched but between the 2nd and 3rd node looks good to go, so maybe you just had the light a little far away at first or dimmed too much. It can be really hard to get the lights dialed in. I'm on my third or fourth grow using quantum boards and I still have a hard time getting them dialed in. that being said the extra node space shouldn't cause you any issues, I usually remove the bottom node anyway.

  6. I’m using a led 1000 W 1.5ftx1.5ft 2ftx2ft coverage for veg and bloom and I just measured it from the canopy it’s 1 ft and 10 inches away from the light is that a lil too close or too far from that plant?

    Really depends on the light, that's 22" away from the plants. For a QB that would probably be great for the stage you are at, but for a blurple I always had to keep mine closer. I was generally running about 18"-20" away at the stage you are at and all the way down to 10-12" during flower. It's been at least 7 years since I used the old mars 2 blurples, so things may have changed since then, but generally speaking most the blurple lights are just kicking out far less ppfd or umol then a HID or QB style light. I don't know what kind of budget you are working with or what size space, but QB's have come way down and I just picked up a 100w board for $30 on Amazon. I would highly recommend you look in to them and kick the blurple to the curb. They just aren't energy efficient like the new style lights are.
     
  8. Sounds useful bro I had got these at homegrow. Com (I think) for about 25$ and been having them for quite a while now and this is the first time I’m using them lol! but would love to look into the ones you just mentioned. Would you mind sending a link to the ones you got in Amazon? Or are they just called “100 w board lights” ? Thanks again bro

  9. For sure man, let me dig up the link. It's just a cheapo for my 2x2 but I'm pretty impressed with it so far. My favorite is Kingbrite boards of Alibaba. They are so reasonably priced compared to brands like HLG and Spider Farmer but they are every bit the same quality, regardless of what others on here may say. You can contact the suppliers as well as Samsung and confirm that they are using legit diodes.

  11. No problem man, there are definitely better out there but for the price I really don't think you can go wrong on that one. Doubt it is real Samsung diodes but the plants seem to love it and at only $30 it seemed like a good buy to power the 2x2 temporarily. What size tent are you running? I can link you to the appropriate size Kingbrite light for your setup. Also feel free to check out some of my past grows if you would like to see what the Kingbrite's can do. Here's a little sampling:
