New Grower Round two. Zkittlez autos

[baked in the bluegrass]

Man the hlgs are sexy, and i freakin luv mine. They are a bit pricey tho and there are some banging substitutions out there.
Having said that, i wholeheartedly support a man giving in and getting that bling lol.
I stand by my statement about multiple boards versus a big single board....multiple lights gives you way more options in regards to light positioning, spread, etc

The plants will tell you where they want the lights and at what wattage for sure. Adjustability of lights is a HUGE addition to a grow environment. Dimming and individual placement. I do LST but other hat that do t stress the even canopy. I’ve had 36” plants with the lights 12” above top buds, and the lowers buds would grow straight out sideways trying to grab the light from a 24” plant next to it with the lights 12” above. On both QBs and Cobs. My point being. With individual boards I can adjust height for each set of plants. I don’t have individual lights but run in pairs. I believe if I was running one big light ( with my style growing) that all plants would have to find a happy medium and I’d lose yield as opposed to each plant getting what they want. I have found that even very similar phenotypes of the same plants have had different temperaments. Except for Mephisto strains. I feel like some if there established strains run like clones.

What do you mean by separate boards? Like not a single heat sink with multiple boards on it? Single stand alone board where I can adjust height. Reason I was looking into the xl heatsinks was because it won't be centered and is cheaper than buying multiple boards, at least from hlg. Hadn't really taken much thought into the single boards and the different heights. Might weigh that option when the time comes. Atm I have a little over $200 in my "petty cash" fund so I'm just going to keep building that up with loose change and see what I can do by the end of this round. That's going to be the big kicker honestly

Sell some resources growing and buy what your gut tells you man! Hey tune in to my grow journal I am chopping Miranda Sour Kush tonight and will have pics and maybe videos. For those who haven't subbed up https://www.autoflower.org/threads/...e-dream-and-sour-kush-cheap-grow.71898/page-4 .

Daily update..

Day 15 Zkittlez

Temps: 75F lights off, 80F light on
RH: 50%
Water: No water
Nutes: No nutes
Light distance: 20in
Light cycle: 18/6

So two of the girls got some lst today of the main stems. The other one hadn't quite got enough vertical height for me to do that so I did a nice leaf tuck, you can see it on zkittlez [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] photo below. The girls seem to be really healthy, maybe a little hot, I'm seeing some curling leaf edges but they seem to be otherwise unaffected because they are starting to really get moving now. I was going to water tonight but I think I'll hold another day, the soil wasn't completely dried out yet. I have been looking forward to this point for awhile because now I can start shaping my little babes into the little monsters that I know they can become! Well till tomorrow!

I meant that i think id rather have say 2x 150w qbs than 1x 300w. I think thats way more useful than the 1 big light.
I wouldnt turn down 1 big light but i think id prefer to have multiple smaller lights

Both have there advantages, imo. But I am with you on this one Baked.
