Redneck's First Major Grow On A Budget - Super OG Kush - Blueberry - Purple Kush

[Cannibcody]

Yeah I thought about giving it a diluted bit of nutrients but didn't want to make matters worse.... had to leave my girls for two weeks with my wife while I'm working so I'll have to see what they look like when I get back... thanks

Alright so I'm planning on building a 2 and 1/2 by 2 and 1/2 by 6 ft grow box for when my girls starts to flower and possibly doing the scrog and I want to buy an LED light that will give me an awesome yield what light and wattage do you guys recommend?

Depends on how much you want to spend really

less than 500

 

[Cannibcody]

I'm looking at it as an investment.... whatever I spend now I can make back in the future

Black Diamond LED grow lights Perfect Sun

 

[Cannibcody]

I see the viparspectra lights are a little bit cheaper what do you think about those are they garbage?

 

[redmud]

I've never used either the Perfect Sun or Vipra but have used the Mars Hydro 300 and Illuminator Jumbo UFO as well as some home made LED. If I were to buy a pre made unit it would probably be a Mars or I would just research the type of drivers and LED's a manufacturer uses and build it for a fraction of the cost.

 

[Cannibcody]

Okay so I just ordered my Mars Hydro 600w LED going to wait a week and snag another one

 

[Pennywise]

Should serve you well

I think two of them should get the job done nicely lol... now I just got to start working on building my flower box

 

[Pennywise]

Use pvc and panda film

 

[Cannibcody]

Wtf is panda film lol

 

[Cannibcody]

I just Googled it LOL I've heard a lot of people say to use flat white paint on the inside but wouldn't it make more sense to use a high-gloss to reflect more light down?

 

[Cannibcody]

Use pvc and panda film

My box has to be a little bit more rigid for the space that it's going to be at... I'm thinking 2x4 an plywood

 

[Pennywise]

Gloss may create hot spots as will tin foil. Flat white is what you want to use. It will not burn the plants and it reflects quite a bit of light.
