Indoor Bud Beast LED Test

[tripaholic88]

Ok heres some pics from today guys
1st up is the night queen
31.5"away from Lamp

The Siltons were transplanted into coco today and precharged the same way as the night queen and the transplant went without a hitch. since the airpots are taller they are now 33" away from the Beast

Under the Bud Beast!!!

OK guys so today I got in the dimmer for the light so I installed it and lowered the light to 24" with about 30% power from reds and whites at 100% ranging from 25,000-31,000 lux at canopy depending where the reading was taken.

I figured it would be good to take some pics now that I'm using the dimmer and lowered the light. temp have dropped to 69 degrees F with the reds dimmed down and my cobs not running. humidity is at 30% but gets down to about 15 sometimes and I even have a humidifier.
1st up group shot with the light

Autoflower babies except the 2 in solo cups
They are barneys farm peyote cookies and blimburn cindy 99 photos

Silton sisters at 8 days old and they were born under the bud beast. the one on the right must not like something g because she got the same feed as all the babies and she looks a little droopy. I'll keep an eye on her

Night queen at 10 days old born under the bud beast also

Tangie sisters
I ran out of coco so one is in a 1 gal nursery pot until the coco arrives, she is also a day behind her sister and the older one is 7 days old today

Hey thanks for stopping by,Cultivate tech does not list what brand diodes are in the light.
And the dimmer I bought for it is a Cooper controls 0-10v dimmer. I believe I have a link to the light and it's specs in the 1st couple posts of this log.

OK so I think I may have some light stress I'm not sure. here they are, nothing major but I just want to make sure I'm not over/under doing it with the light.
Tangie day 10 I think growth may have slowed since raising the light but now showing these "teeth"

silton day 10 same teeth going on

Tangie 2 transplanted today

Night queen day 12 most her life was with light at 100% until saturday

So now I just got done doing a comparison with my Cobbs at 21 inches which is where I usually veg at and I'm getting around 30-35000 Lux which is higher lux than the bud beast at its current height and dimming. maybe I should crank it up to match the lux of my COBs? I know LUX don't really mean much but I don't have a PAR meter. but I think something is up because my plants are usually a little bigger

Id think lux could be comparable if you have the red all the way down but as soon as you start adding red its gonna mess up your readings...

OK guys so i now have the bud beast at 24" away from the canopy and on full power giving the girls 35-37,000 lux depending their position under the light and they seem to be looking better and more perky so I have come to the conclusion that I wasnt giving the girls enough light. luckily I caught it before their main stretch.
Quick couple pics
