Kanno 26 - 2x ViparSpectra XS1500 PRO - SIP/Soil/80x80 - 2x Purple Queen

[Jon]

Thanks to @Jon, @Bill284, @StoneOtter for being in half bloom so she's doing great. I'm curious how it will look at the end of its life

Appreciate the thanks @Kanno26 but you’re the badass who did all the work. All we did was type a little.

Hi all @ViparSpectra XS1500 PRO supporters this is how it gives my purple queen half way through week five .

Brilliant. Amazing work. Note the consistency of the colas. They’re like carbon copies of one another. Why? Well, partly cuz you did a rocking job on growing her. But also a LOT has to do with the evenness of coverage the @ViparSpectra XS1500 Pros provide. Great lights.

Thanks @Jon and you're right @ViparSpectra XS1500 PRO does what it's supposed to and does it well

Hello all @ViparSpectra XS1500 PRO fans. Here is my final queen who is not very purple yet but she still looks great and her entire surface is covered with approximately 30 beautiful tops. She is at the beginning of the sixth week and the 300w she gets from the XS1500 PRO is very noticeable on her. Here are her photos.

Thanks everyone for stopping by.

You now know how to do an official scrog if you ever want to. This is 2/3 of one as it is! Amazing Kanno.

And what are the other scrog options @Jon if I have 2/3?

And what are the other scrog options @Jon if I have 2/3?

Well, @Kanno26, if I understand the question, with an “actual” scrog there’d be a couple differences. For one you wouldn’t want to use that screen with the huge squares. Everyone is different but for me I like 1 1/2” squares. Maybe 2”. And then you would approach it from the beginning with the intention of filling the entire screen. In a perfect world, you would then get a carpet of buds filling the entire space. Is that what you were asking?

I'm proud of you and also the XS1500 Pro.
Could you show us the whole tent to see the queen under the XS1500 pro?

Hi @ViparSpectra here are the promised photos but unfortunately my lights are up to the ceiling so it doesn't work very well but somehow I managed it even with the purple queen.

Hi @Kanno26 - hey man, wow, I know they’re powerful, but your are really far away from those tops for flower at this point. If you have an app I would recommend measuring your ppfd at top of bud level. Betcha you aren’t close to 1000 ppfd. That’s a good magic number to shoot for. Also, look at your bud photo above. See how it’s only lit up at the top and it’s dark the rest of the way down? That screams move the lights closer. If you don’t have an app, you can try Phototone if you want. That’s what I use and it’s pretty accurate. Just my two cents, but I’m afraid you’ll get beautiful but not dense enough buds if you don’t get closer.

So according to the application it shows 600 approx

Yup. That’s about what I thought. I strongly suggest you adjust that light until that number is close to 1000. If you are uncomfortable with that I understand, but bounce my idea off a few folks and see what they say.

I've already lowered it @Jon, thanks I'll focus on it tomorrow the girls have gone to bed thanks for the tip you're definitely right

I try to not lead you astray my friend!

Hello everyone, I'm back with the purple queen tent modification, I zoomed in on the lights and this is what it looks like, I don't know if you can trust the app @Jon but I measured this.

I don't know if this is too much, but you can see that when I brought the XS1500 PRO closer, the buds grew, I don't know if that's the reason but otherwise it looks like this, friends.

Ha! No @Kanno26, you are not at 1622. Lmao! The light isn’t even capable of outputting 1622. Question: when you measured, did you use the diffuser? All that is is a piece of white paper wrapped around the phone camera lenses. That number tells me maybe you didn’t use it? So try the diffuser and make sure you’re on full spectrum. Just knowing the light, and based on the picture, you are likely around 1000 where they are. This is perfect. And as you mentioned, you are already seeing the results in bigger buds. Light is food. Feed the girls. Haha.

Thanks @Jon, I didn't use the diffuser didn't think it was needed but I'll try again tomorrow. The girls are already sleeping
