My first LED: BestVA sharing thoughts

[DummyGrower]

Yeah that's what I planned on doing.. My budget is pretty low so don't know if I'll be able to get a new light by next grow. I'm starting to get the hang of the BestVA anyways (at least to get a minimum yield)

Legality here is no good.. However if you keep to yourself you're usually left alone.

II'll have a look at migro too.. Cheers

@nizmoKush yes Mars Hydro is defo one I'll have a look at. Interesting details about the driver too thanks!

I have a bestva1000 in a 2x2 tent. Its the only light ive ever had so i really cant compare it to any other light. Seems to stunt my plants though.

Hey dude.. Thanks for replying..

I got a 600 and my tent is slightly bigger. But I don't seem to reach the whole area efficiently.

I stunted my first 9 plants, pretty bad feeling. 10th one was an ounce harvest. Now I got three NL and managed to do them bad in some way. But they growing and got nice little buds.

I have the impression that the BestVA doesn't give you much margin to mess up anything. Like if you make an error on water, RH, PH nutes or anything, there's not enough goodness in the light to help recovery, if it makes sense said that way.
But light only cannot be the reason of the stunting of all your plants, there's gotta be something else..

Let's share thoughts so you get your grow right?

my problem was, i had my light way to close to my plants. Raised the light and they started to grow.

Not long before harvest.
Will soon post here the results of that grow with my analysis. Nothing crazy but a few hypothesis and observations..

However I'll start with the first one by saying that the first grow was only one plant and grew bigger than any of the three I grew this time..
The only difference is that the first grow happened during winter..
