Lighting Finishing up 1st run under ISH265 Pro

[Mr Green Fingers]

Here is 1 of my girls coming into the last couple weeks before chop, biggest difference I've noticed under this light is the amount of frost and also the density of the buds from top to bottom, honestly there is going to be hardly any popcorn and I haven't stripped any of the smaller branches.
This is a Super Lemon Haze photo period grow and I have kept the light at 9 inches throughout flower with no issues, no burning or bleaching at all!
Love this light @Invisible Sun LED

Looks great
Can I ask what height distance did you do in veg ?
What Kelvin did you get 3500k?

Thanks Bro! I was very cautious to start with and started them at about 45 inches as they seemed so bright I didn't want to fry my babies and then moved down 6 inches every week, next time will start closer though as internode spacing was a bit to far on these girls but they are Sativas also so this contributed to that and I had root rot issues also so far from an ideal grow but these lights have still produced for me!
I got the 3000k as there were only 2 options available at the time, either 4k or 3k but I would've probably gone with 3.5k if available at that point.
Also note I haven't dimmed mine and ran at 100% the whole time as have the driver on a rope rachet at the top of the tent so a bit of a pain to dim using a screwdriver

I also got the 3000k was also hoping for 35000k but there's still enough blue in it to veg good I believe as I checked the color spectrum chart for the 3000k Samsung lm301b chips

I have also started at 40 inchs away
Thanks for the quick reply

Yeah I think there is enough blue for veg for sure and the extra red seems like it's going to give me rock hard nugs compared to the Viparspectra I was using before, plus there is definitely an extra sprinkling of frost on these girls

Awesome as I was using marshydro which is very similar to vipar and that's what I'm looking for more density

So happy I made the change and also just managed to sell my Vipar on Gumtree so this upgrade has only cost me £70 and basically halved my electricity bill.
My aim when deciding to grow my own was to try to match the quality of weed I get when I go Dam and eventually beat it, didn't quite manage to achieve it on previous grows but hoping this light is the last piece of the puzzle!

Awsome getting that sold m8 .
Exactly what I'm trying to achieve aswell I found that my top buds were great but after that they weren't as dense so I'm hoping this new light smashes it for me

Plant's looking lovely, Mate! I've been looking into ISH & think I'l be going with one of their lights for a small 70 x 70 tent I'm going to set up. Looking at the specs on their site, I noticed the ISH 265 pro 3000k has the extra 6500k diodes mixed in as well. Do you think you've benefited from these at all???

Hey @Benjidubwise the funny thing is with this run I didn't realise the driver was turned right down, I have another diary below where you can see what this light is doing turned up lol
When I bought mine I didnt have the option of the far reds but I did buy a separate strip which I personally think is better as you only really need the far red for flower so I can leave it off during veg
