Indoor grotech 160 light test

[namvet25]

Welcome everybody.I will be doing a test grow using the Cultivate grotech 160 panel and will be growing a Guerrilla Glue auto that just popped today 12/23/2017 and will be doing a weekly update as the grow goes on.The plant will be growing in a 5gal. air pot using Dr.Earth organic potting mix and nutes will be Dyna-Gro veg and bloom.Light will be run at 18/6 and the distance from canopy will be figured out as I go being the first time using this panel.I would like to thank Cultivate Tech for the opportunity to do this test.

Update day 10.She is starting to take off now and I fed her a first light feeding yesterday.I got the light at 14inches now and it seems to be doing ok.The light is at full power with both red and white spectrums running.I'll post a picture of the blue tooth controls next week.

Update day16.She seems to be doing great with the light at 16 inches from canopy at full power.Starting to put out side shoots now.It's been real cold here and humidity is still quite low but she is still looking fine.The panel gives out very little heat as the individual panels act as there own heat sink.I have also included a pic of the blue tooth app that you can control the intensity of white or red light for veg or flower.You can also use timer mode to set it to gradually reduce out put to mimick sun setting towards the end of light cycle.There is no power switch but you can also turn it off and on with control app or if you have it on a reg timer it will come on at the last setting it was on when it powered off.

Thanks man,yours are looking good also.Have you got the blue tooth hooked up yet?I really don't use it and run it full power because the par isn't that strong but having it close to the plant seems to work.

I bought just a slide dimmer and dialed back the reds and got the girls average at 25,000 lux at days 7-10. Im pretty sure I see some light stress so today I pulled it up to 26"-28" depending on the plants height. I'll take a pic or 2 and tag ya in my log, maybe you can tell if they look like too much light/light stress
I do no maybe I'm still to high from the canopy and not seeing the growth I want?
