Old Reviews Lighting Grower of the Year 2019

[Iriee Vibez]

I gotta get my hands on some of Magic's genetics, I'm really impressed with what I've seen.
Are you using the T5's for side lighting or supplementing from the top? I'm always looking to make my set-up the best I can and I got some spare bits around.



Holy poop and other mild expletives. That is a nice gal you got there. I'm embarrassed to show mine off with how ya'll are doing, I'm looking forward to the 2nd leg when I'm at the same days as the rest of you.

Thanks @RiverGrrl. I am looking forward to the second leg too, since I will hopefully be smoking this lovely bud!

@Iriee Vibez are you loving the BlueLab Guardian? I know your plants do .



@RivetGrrl The t5s are running the AgroMax UVA Plus 10,000K lamps. You can see them in the fish-eye picture. The last two weeks I will add the AgroMax Pure UV 75% UVB 25% UVA.



@E Grower Logged Thank You.

Some snapshots while hanging the lights. I am using 1 60w 5000K CFL (my work light) It really shows the color of the plants.

Plants are looking great in your room, MOG! Strong competition for second place there! Lol!

Seriously, though, I love the Bluelab guardian. It really has stabilized my grows tremendously. It gives me the peace of mind of always knowing what’s going in the reservoir, and has saved me a few times! Thanks again for the recommendation way back when!

O

OH yes I do! That's where all the food is.
I thought it was on track, having fun

Well if fun is on track, then you are a fungi for sure... Ha... ha... (Crickets chirping).
I was going to make another fungus joke, but I see there isn't mushroom for that kind of humor...

I need to look into running UVB and/or UVA, it's on my research list. My Titan that I just swapped in has onboard UVB but it runs all the time and I'm not sure it's the best option when I'm in the tent.

There is a picture out on the net in one of the other forums of a guy that spent 5 minutes working under one of the AgroMax t5 48" Pure UV bulbs and he has blisters all along one side of his face and neck.

I use a work light when in the space ALL UV lights are off. They can ruin your eyes permanently. There are special eye glasses for other lights as well. It is easy to just turn off the grow lights and turn on a CFL house bulb.

I do have LED sunglasses I use, but I can turn them off autos and vegging photos are fine if I I’m in and out Since I know they aren’t good, but I get lazy. Need to shape up!

Here is my plant at day 21. Geez.

Changed my lights up, running 2x ultimate flowering and 2x combo still.
Swapped out 1 each for my Titan 400 LED, made by a local outfit Professional Gardener. Running it in veg mode for now. So I’m at 378 total watts.

Ok another question for you light gurus.
Do I look at plants per square foot? Or light per square foot? I can’t seem to find a solid reference for watts/lumens etc. Per square foot or base it on the plants.
Like if I was growing one plant in a 4x4 or ten it’s the same light.

Awesome! I'm big into the goth/industrial music scene so the concerts have some amazing guys and gals dressed for the events. Still a lot of gas masks etc. but some unique stuff too. If you want to message me pics of your stuff I'd love to check it out, I'm very much a dark person and have some interesting things too but not near enough.
