Captain has a question about lights

[captain23]

The light you have says it has 150W "luminous power" which basically means it produces as much light as two standard 75W bulbs. But its power consumption is only 38W. If they added enough diodes to that light to draw 200W, its "luminous power" would be over 1000W.

If you're on a budget, something like the ViparSpectra P2000 would be good. It uses an older diode than what is standard these days, the Samsung LM281B. Most of the popular LED grow lights now use the Samsung LM301B diodes which are more efficient, produce less heat and have a somewhat better spectrum for growing. The ViparSpectra XS2000 uses those but is a lot more expensive. In general, if a manufacturer doesn't say what diode it uses, don't buy it.

Note that I used ViparSpectra as an example because I'm familiar with them. There are others just as good or better.

ok awesome thx for th help

Good morning Captain. Looks like your question is getting a little chatter. I hope it’s helping. I have to admit the whole luminous power and watt thing I have never understood. Just happen to get good lights. I have a Mars Hydro 2000 and a spider farmer 2000 in my two 2x4 tents which are both awesome lights and you can find them on sale now and again. I didn’t start with this but have worked myself up to it. You can use your current light as crash said for vegging. I have a cheap stand up portable light that I have vegged under for months before putting them in the tent or outside. It does a good job but would not work well at all in flower. You have time to shop for a good flower light while using the one you have thru veg. You can find sales on them now and then if you look. I can only talk for the mars hydro and SpiderFarmer light but can tell you that it’s worth the investment in a decent light for a good grow. You will get some good info here on what lights are working for tent growers.
good luck with your grow Captain. Keep us up to what you are doing

yes it is im happy thx so much.. and yes i will be making a watch thread or whteva its called lolo

I’m not sure unless you are a spammer or selling something without advertising with us or maybe said something ugly… maybe you are on a trial period I’m just kidding I don’t think there is a trial. Maybe a mod will help figure out why…

Early Lemon Berry is a rare evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created through crossing the infamous Las Vegas Lemon Skunk X Member Berry strains. Looking for an energizing high that won't throw you for a loop? You've found it with Early Lemon Berry. This lovely lady packs a bright and vibrant cerebral high paired with a super relaxing physical effect that will have you feeling mentally active while physically calm for hours on end. It starts with a tingle felt behind the eyes and in the forehead, slowing spreading throughout the rest of your head and leaving you feeling lifted and mentally stimulated, filled with artistic energy and motivation. This tingle will soon work its way throughout the rest of your body, causing you to fall into a deeply relaxed state that's pretty arousing at times, too. Thanks to these effects and its high 20% + average THC level, Early Lemon Berry is said to be perfect for treating conditions such as chronic fatigue depression, chronic pain, nausea or appetite loss and chronic stress. This bud has a bright sweet and sour citrus flavor with hints of ripe berries. The aroma is very similar, although with an earthiness to it, too. Early Lemon Berry buds have small tapered minty green nugs with thick dark orange hairs and a coating of frosty tiny white crystal trichomes.

plenty of mentors around here Amigo and i will be happy to throw in my 2 cents every now and then

i am not experienced with FF soil but i will wager that several growers here have good advice on FF

i do think FF is pre-loaded with nutes?

we use soil with zero nutrients

we really like the simplicity of General Hydroponics Flora Micro and Flora Bloom

and GH cal mag

otherwise , we sometimes make nutrient teas out of worm , bats , chicken , and seabirds feces

my favorite is worm castings , very gentle and the plants love it

ut first things first , what is your plan on germinating your seeds?

 

[captain23]

ok cool i appreciate it.. and for gem i got one of those tray thigs that have the pod thingy but im also reading that i can put in paper towel , or put direct in soil but im leaning on either thr green house thing or paper towel or whoever tells me .. cause i think this first go around im going to go wit a basic grow ways and add my own twist and progress from there started at the bottom and now some are there,, lolo

Check out Carty. He is a auto flower obiwon .
I know you are going photos ,but I learned from him was the moist paper towel in a oven mitt and get a 1/2 tails on b4 planting .
Autos have their days numbered but the bigger the tap root I found, they potted nice. Of course your milage may vary.
There are great channels on YT.
