Those 3 gallon pots sell for 1.25 ea. They also retain water better than the smart pot. I remember when using the smart pots you had to make sure you watered them slowly. Not that there is anything wrong with the smart pots other than there price points.
It's the most common brand in hydro stores too. These are the radicle or diff?
No the radicle bags were the mesh type pots. These are made and sold by 247garden.com. The only downside is the shipping costs are high. Even with shipping still a good pot for the money.
If it aint broke!
up a little.
You're in BOOM stage, I love that stage too
It's like feeding them rocket fuel!You're in BOOM stage, I love that stage too
Your already doing a great job on the canopy!
What did you see all those shims.lol
The mad scientist is at it again. I am incorporating them in a new hybrid i am building.lol. It will be called the BBH-1100. I will post pictures soon! The new light will be in the new 4x4 flower tent.
What does that stand for? Will you be using a CMH in there?
I have a burple that draws 370 watts( 144 5w diodes ) at the wall and it going in the center and will have a HLG Elite 360 on each side of it. Will be a 1100 watt total. Burple Bandaid Hybrid- 1100. The HLG's are shaped like a bandaid.LOL I will post some picture once i get it together.
Nice. Watch it be a crazy combo and people start dusting off the blurples lol. I still use mine.
I always thought that the potency was there with the blurples just not the hardness of the buds. Man i would hate to be in the grow light business hard to keep up with the changing technology. I think there was a lot of investment money pumped into companies like Black Dog. Actually i am not sure at all how Black Dog is doing financially i would think they would be concerned over all the new technology in lighting.
The blurples have generally made more frost than HPS in my experience. At least the "better blurples" like the Viparspectra PAR series. I agree the buds aren't as dense. I think it's partially due to the true watts they pull, and the 5w Epistar LEDs from that generation aren't as good as any of the QB/DIY stuff with Samsung (and equivalent) diodes. I'll still find a good use for em.
I bought my black dog not doing much research. They pay good money cause their name popped up quick on a google search. Live and learn. It’s a good light just fuckin expensive. I think they have a newer version being released this year.
I ran a pair of Black Dog 200's in a 2x4 and got really good results. I had one diesel strain i got almost a gram a watt from them. However i felt like the buds were not hard enough. I switched to a HPS and got the results i was looking for. Just have to try and deal with the heat. And yes they are expensive but certainly a quality built unit. The guy i sold them to was a professional grower. He was using them to mix with CMH lights.
I'm imagining the set up in my head and it looks fucking sweet. There is definitely something to that CMH. Maybe not as the main source but as a "bit more than supplemental" light. With bare bulb, they can get pretty close to a plant. I've tested the limits and got some burn when a top was right next to it, like an inch away. The glow of the bare bulb gives a bit of exposure to a lot more plants. In the same tent, a CMH in a horizontal HPS hood is concentrated on one tote of plants. It gets about 90% CMH and 10% HPS. Every plant is more stretchy and lanky (not in a bad way) as opposed to plants under just HPS. We'll see how things look in a couple of weeks, they're just starting to exit the awkward teen phase and fill in more.
