Lights
I noticed something with this current grow that I would love some thoughts and comments on. I grew this plant using 2 lights. On the right side I used my old v600 blurple grow lights and on the left side I used a new Mars 1500 quantum board. Even in veg I noticed the old light had a lot more growth and during flowering I had a lot more bud development from the old style light. I don't think most companies make the old blurple lights anymore but in my opinion on this plant the old technology seemed much better than the new. Any thoughts?

Hi TB. And welcome back. That definitely is a interesting observation. Wow ! I can see the differences without a doubt. I’d like to hear what others will comment on this too. May have to do a second run like that, just to confirm that’s where the extra growth came from ??? I’m thinking it will be a different result. To many times I’ve watched GWE experimental light grows to compare , back a year or two and blurple did not take top honors… your light could be the exception tho. 😊

Hi Smiley! Good to talk to you again! I am definitely going to do the exact same setup one my next grow to see if the results are the same. I was really happy with the combination of the two lights and it will be interesting to see if I get the same results.

Yea, looks good to me. Both lights might be a good combo working together. Sure didn’t hurt much.. or not enough to NOT do a 2nd run. You will have a good bit of trimming there. Always fun to watch your grows.
on a side note. I have my scrog all done except for stringing it with some nylon string. Holes drilled and everything…. Did a little extra to it to step it up a notch. I’ll post pics when it gets fired up at some point. Lol new scrubber, new light. I’ll be all set. Took a break this year… OD growing has let me do this. I have a complete shut down due to the orange construction cone roadwork. It has re routed high volumes of traffic to close for comfort. 😊0 0 0 0 0 0 0 -

Hey TB, Lighting is such a diverse and experimental input, when used for growing plants. I really don't know much about it, but in my experience combining different lights was a good thing. I don't think the more expensive lights are necessarily better either. Peace
