I strive to be a weed guru someday hence the training. I have a perpetual grow thread where you can see all my successes and failures. Others can lear from my mistakes do I show everything. The good the bad and the ugly. Luckily very little ugly for me. Feel free to read through it. I don't mind tips or trick from others. I welcome it. I have learned so much from this wonderful family we have here. I have only been here since aug 2023. It was my second ever grow. I was only growing outside but as I got better so did the weed. Then I branched out into salve and then edibles.!I just started making canna caps. I have asthma and it is hard for me to smoke. @Oscarzuma suggested the capsules. They work great. Just have to be careful packing the caps or buy smaller capsules. The moon is s really nice place to visit.

Yep Amazon loves me. I get package from them almost daily this time of year. Stocking up for my next grow.

I'm in the bunch that use Jack's nutes in promix. Just started indoor growing last year and it seemed the simplest place to start. Very little work with ph. Under good LEDs, they practically grow themselves.
Transferred everything outside in the summer and that worked just as well.

The LEDs of today grow weed very good. Before I got back into this last year I was a Hid Junky. I took the leap of faith and went LED. Never looking back. They can rock some bud in any grow.

Shop around and find what works for the space ya have. Look for actual wattage on the data plate..not what they advertise.

30-35w per square foot is the goal. Ya prob know all that stuff but that's the goal.

How do you figure that out. Can you explain it to me? So I can understand how to figure it out. I just buy the best light I can afford and hope for the best.

Lucky for me I won 2 grow light now. one was here from @PhlizonGrowLight that light snaps. I really like it so do the maui’s Beasts. The other I just won a Christmas giveaway from @spiderfarmerLed on X just started using it and I put the sticker up too. It’s just as good very similar anyway. My plants like them

Example 4x4 tent

4'x4'= 16sqft
500w led
500÷16= 31w per sqft.

 

[greenmobster440]

I am running a 400w in my 4x4 right now at 25wpsqft. I've done it a few grows and it does a really good job.
