Testing The ViparSpectra XS1000 With VetSmoke85

[VetSmoke85]

What wattage is it

120W although I haven't checked with the meter to see what it is actually pulling yet.

Looks to be doing a great job at that

It's only got up to 75% so far. I'll wait until they finish stretching and get to full flowering before I blast them with 100%.

Yeah if you had the option to mount the drivers outside the tent it would be spot on. I did give them 100% for a day not long ago but they didn't seem to like it. If I'd stuck with it they probably would've adapted and been even bigger now but I wimped out. That Orange Sherbert is keeping me on edge this grow.

Morning of Day 25 and they're going for it now. Going to have a think how best to arrange things in there to make everything fit and get the light coverage it needs.

Put the autos on risers so they're above the mothers, which don't need much light. Then raise the light to compensate for the risers, or dim it a bit if you're out of headroom.

Shading the mothers is not a problem, so it will be like you only have three plants in there.

Step one of creating some space was done tonight. Trimmed the bonsai mum's so they aren't just small bushes.

Before

After

I've cut the first node off all the autos. Decided they weren't going to be worth hanging onto. Noticed these girls get very droopy when the lights go off. Within minutes. Pineapple Express is my favourite right now.

Skywalker Haze

Orange Sherbert

Pineapple Express

Certainly stretched a bit.

 

[Listersmeghead]

They're exploding

 

[VetSmoke85]

They're exploding

Maybe I should have trained them

 

[Skunksta]

Hope you got some head room looks like there going to get big

 

[Listersmeghead]

Nah, it's good for you to see what up is for a change, i bet this new tent is like a cathedral for you.

The most I've had before. Still about 2' of space they can go up into so should be fine.

It really is mate. Must admit it is nice to not be as concerned about height. I'm going to play around tonight and use some rubber coated garden wire to pull some of the side branches back in towards the main stem. I was having a look earlier and I think I can limit how wide they get.

Just caught up @VetSmoke85 excellent read.

Nice work, I think I will pull up a set and observe you from a far.

Keep up the great work.

Stay safe, and grow well my friend,

Cheers Tok. I appreciate you taking the time to read through. You're more than welcome here and feel free to come and go as you please, the door is always open.

 

[Tokin Roll]

I like the way you are putting that light through its paces.

For a low wattage light you are doing a fantastic job keeping everyone happy.

Just keep doing what your doing,

Tok..

 

[VetSmoke85]

Pulled some of the side branches in a bit to make the plants more slimline. Added bonus it brings them closer to the light too.

4 weeks old today. It's been 2 weeks since the Pineapple Express and Skywalker Haze were transplanted into the amended soil and I think they are due a top dress of the bloom nutrients.

The Skywalker Haze grew weird again after her last watering. I don't know what's causing it but I'm just riding it out.

Beautiful natural shaped plants vet.
