So we come to the end of the second test grow with the SANlightQ6W led grow light and boy what a test run it has been... hands down this has to be my best run yet, not just with this cut but the best grow I've had, even with the Mag lock out I had at the start of the test.

The SANlightQ6W has been a dream to grow with on this second test, I feel I manged to get a better distance from the lights this time, 18" to 10" across the canopy

I've grown this cut out twice before now and it's never performed like this... Now I do have to take into consideration that I've got to know the cut better and fed her perfect this time round... But dam! those buds are so so much fatter/bigger than I've seen before

On my last 2 runs with this cut the buds where a little spongy to the touch (grown under HLG QB's v1) but on this round under the SANlight's they are rock hard to the touch, that extra red go's a long way... can't wait to mix the SANlight with my QB's

I have to mention that I have introduced Winter Frost by Millennium Nutrient to my line up... Man that shit works!.. fed at week 7 at 2ml per ltr

The turps this time round seem to be a little more fruity and much more potent, think Winter Frost is having the desired effect

Well its time to summarise test grow, round 2... I'm super super impressed with the SANlightQ6W, these are a serious piece of kit and the company deserves a place at the top with the heavy weights of LED world... 2 of these in a 4x4 is all you will ever need... Now I know they come with rather a pricey tag so what are you getting than lets say a HLG 550 which is cheaper... well I will get straight to the point, It's German engineering people and that's what you are paying for... so not knocking USA built, you guys across the pond do make the best tools... but with German engineering you know every little bit of design has been thoroughly thought about over and over and over... and it really show's... A very sleek, well built unit with a very well thought out spectrum. The LED's them selves are a mix of reds, blues and greens which you would think would be a "Burple" light, but that's not so with these SANlightsQ6W's. They have taken that concept of separating the spectrum and nailed it... At first I was a little un-trusting seen as I've been growing with white light LED's for a couple of years now but I was soon put at ease with in a few week of switching them on... what I feel they do far better than my HLG QB's is that they project the heat downwards a lot more and this is where I'm seeing one of the biggest improvements over growing with my QB's. Its been a lot easier to keep the canopy temps up at around 27c this time with out having my heating coming on all the time at the base of the plants and having the heat come up from under the canopy... its given me something to think about for future set ups now.

So we are at the end of round 2 and its time to get round 3 ready. So what do we have in store for the final test round... we are going to do a run with just one SANlightQ6W in 2x4 space. This time round its a grow from seed, Zkittles (fem) by Black Skull seeds... so stick around peeps, there is more to come

Right people its time to say... grow safe, keep it green and I will...View attachment 1040629

@Slater Flippin' 'eck m8, way to go with those SanLights.:smoking:
Beautiful ladies and so expertly photographed those two grows are absolutely splendid!
Amazing colours , awesome resin production, good genetics, top notch lights and perfect grow skills have all come together in a truly righteous couple of grows!
I tip my hat to you sir!
I look forward to more of your grows under your SanLights!
BTW you just got slapped

Thank you @arty zan , many a post of yours I've read has helped towards my grows, so I tip my hat back to you sir with a massive thank you ...

I'm so impressed with those SANlights, they are so under rated as a company when the LED talk happens. They definitely deserve a place at the top. My next build out will be a mix of SANlight and QB's by HLG... I think that's the only thing these light are missing is the samsung LM301b diodes, I think by bring those in with a balance of what they have already and I think they will then have THE light to compete with. If you look at Chilltec and SANlight they seem to be heading down a similar path but Chilltec wins on paper at the moment. I think due to the inclusion of the samsung chips... man do I love LED's! you can just play around and make your own spectrum up, fascinating side of growing I never knew I would get hooked on.

You know what these SANlight have been the push to get my head round my camera on my phone and getting it to work for me. The colour cast they give on auto WB is a yucky golden yellow. I had been lazy for my other spaces being white light LED's and had the camera on auto when I first got it... loving what I can achieve with my S8 now I've got my head round it... By the way think I have found the only place in the world that still has stock of the S8 Moment case left, it's in Malaysia ( https://shashinki.com/shop/moment-photo-case-galaxy-black-canvas )... seems a a legit company, I may just have to take the chance and get one.

The resin on this cut is the main reason she has been kept (plus she tick's all the other boxes, killa yielder... think she is about to take the record in that tent)... when pressed 2g of fresh water hash gives an average of 1.6g of rosin. I'm also seeing separation with THC crystals when we get the temps just right. More experimentation needs doing but I think we could make diamonds out of her rosin.

Happy Sunday

Yum.

indeed they are sir... yummy yum yums

you know so much more than me when it comes to technology and diodes ect but just going by my old meizi and kingbo led lights and at an extra 200 wats they put out these beat them hands down no contest and my buds even lots of lower ones are like rocks we have been very fortunate to be chosen to test these and its been an honour to test side by side with you ive been picking up tips the whole grow off you your one of the top growers on here hands down a great bloke who goes out of his way to help people
