Cultiuana Grow and Show - Zeromitch Tests and Reviews CT-660 660Watt Light

[Cultiuana]

Thank you for the rep!

Yeah side shot in the video, i didn't care haha but do you think you could spot me at walmart from that side shot? maybe.. hahhaa. worth the risk, i wanted to give a video for this review even if i was bad at it.

The box does unfortunately say what it is but i greeted the FedEx man at the door so it was not a issue but i did get a strange look from the FedEx man this might not be the case for other people.

I think the picture or box saying what the package is has something to do with U.S. customs accepting it in.

Yeah, there will cause some issues at the Customs if it says nothing outside.

No problems here, plants are loving the light!

I'll do more of these tests when i have a fresh start on another set plants.

This is a par test using a phone app i have been using to get my par readings it is very accurate for how i use it but it is no apogee so my results are not 100% accurate to @Cultiuana results or a real apogee par meter.

This is the app i use for par readings:

PPFD Meter - Grow Light Meter - Apps on Google Play

Effortless PAR Meter: Elegant, Accurate, Feature-Packed & Insightful

play.google.com

Now on to my results with my currents girls, (4) 6 week old plants and (1) 4 week old plant
Dimmer is set to 100% power
A=autopot B= bottom fed

Bruce banner (A) 13" PAR 1153
Bruce banner (B) 11-12" 1271
Red strawberry banana (A) 18" PAR 1151
Red strawberry banana (B) 10-11" PAR 1137
Skunk Auto (A) 34" PAR 554

Note, i had to tilt the phone towards the camera so i lose some par reading doing this, i am not handy enough to pause the app's recording that i don't use lol just something anyone reading this could improve on to make taking pictures easier

Starting front row left to right staring with Red strawberry banana, the bottom fed girl. She is 10-11 inches away from the light

PAR reading of 1137

Bruce Banner in an autopot, about 13 inches away from the light

PAR reading of 1153

Middle girl is my 4 week old skunk auto plant, 34 inches away from the light

PAR reading of 553

Bruce Banner bottom fed girl, 11-12 inches away from the light

PAR reading of 1271

and last my Red strawberry banana in an autopot 18 inches away from the light

and still getting a PAR reading of 1151

Great job testing and recording numbers. How high do you have the dimmer turned up to achieve those?

Thank you, I try my best with what i have :smoking:

The light is blasting 100% on the dimmer, I would dim it to 80% if i didn't have a younger plant below the 7 week old girls.

This is a perfect test to show how close the plants can get to the light without burning which i am thinking is 3 inches and closer and a good test showing you can have all stages of growth (seedling-veg-flower) in this tent while using this light. i am thankful it can give GREAT numbers 34 inches away from the plant.

I am adding more cal/mag to my res, i am seeing cal/mag spots from the high PAR numbers, no problem at all, now i know

Day 54 on these 4 girls and they are looking close on 2 and not close on the other 2 lol

The 2 girls i think are close are the 2 red strawberry bananas and the 2 bruce banners i think are more sativa heavy in the hybrid than her sisters so that could be why.

I have some nice pictures of the light and the plants. Everyone is happy, including me with this grow and light :smoking:

Red strawberry banana autopot, she will be the 1st girl to be harvested by the looks of her, she is the smallest of the 4 also.

I'll update some pictures tomorrow,

Little mini update: I reduced the dimmer to 80% instead of raising the light up, PAR went from 1200 down to 900 or so. The buds were getting fat and bulking upwards, Bruce banner was getting close to the light but was still enjoying it, no burns or stress. Main reason for dimming down to 80% was a more uniform spread of PAR as 1 plant is shorter than the other 3.

Day 61

Getting some fade on my bottom fed red strawberry banana and the autopot strawberry banana looks to be ready for harvest now but she will stay alive until they all are ready.

Both Bruce banners look to need weeks more but they are looking more sativa dom with how their leafs looks so that seems normal, i may have to harvest both red strawberry banana girls and let the bruce banners go longer, we shall see.
