Are my plants looking okay? and are they the correct size for their age? Smaller plants are 4weeks old. Bigger plant in the back (right) is about 7 weeks old. Using 2x 300w CFL Also i am wanting to get some better lighting, would 2X Viparspectra V600 LED lights be good my 6 or so plants? Also at what hight/age should i change to flower 12/12? Image: HERE
First off, your plants look so healthy. Good job so far. Ok, I am going to recommend quantum boards. Get them from HLG or you can follow the knockoff thread. I bought a knockoff and will be posting pictures soon (although I had a hard time with the media this time around). BUT, I like viparspectra and found that they induce secondary metabolism. Maybe you want to split the difference and get one of each. Read the threads I am linking you to for help. That's entirely up to you (within reason). You will have to be the judge; anticipate that the plants will stretch 100% in the first couple weeks of flower. I have a problem with my other plants that have stretch a bit too much. This is strain dependent; you can look up your strain and review people's grow journals for answers. Make sure to include the light distances. good luck on your journey
IMO get a HID or CMH if it’s in the budget they are just better lights than the blurple LEDs. I would also top every one of those plants and do a light defoliation and start LSTing them open to get some light to the lowers. Send to flower when they are about half the size you want them to finish, or your happy with the shape and amount of tops. Good luck, they look happy and healthy!!!
pics posted. @Soil2Coco please check the threads I linked. I've HPS'd for years bro... times is changing.
Thank you! Thank you for the feedback, ill be sure to check them out. Thank you for the feedback mate, i have just topped them.
Hey AusGod, in the HLG alternative thread I posted above, I posted a very cool looking light. You may want to bust our cherries by grabbing that board and blowin' us all away. I do very much want to get that light ... I'm not talking about the boards I got either. I mean the one with the mixed spectrums. I think that one is a winner if you can get it.
