How much grow light do you need? Grow tent size | number of plants | yield per watt 

Convinced me!!.. Ordered your MIGRO ARAY 8 light today!! Excited to see the productivity of my grows to increase.

How much LED watts per square foot for seedlings? To mimick the not much sun from early spring. For a veg garden. And same question for late spring when the sun is a bit stronger? So 30 watts per square feet is summer? I think I'm burning my seedlings. My lights don't have dimmers. And are the wattages per square foot are the same on while grow lights and non white grow lights.

Already subscribed Shane,

150W per square foot for HPS. 250W per square foot for LEDs. Autos never yield well and use way too much electricity and are pointless to grow indoors. They are always less potent as well and not as fast as the 'CLAIMS' suggest. If you are not getting 0.85 - 1.25 grams per watt then you are not doing it properly. That should be easily possible with 2-3 weeks veg. I have personally seen Autos go to 130 days which is longer than regular indica strains. There is no advantage at all to growing Autos indoors at all.

sorry easy lumatek 600 pro 3g pre w EASY if people r telling u some thing and u do what u do my be is ignorant to say that they dont know what they r talking about . because my be then they can say u dont know what r u talking about. hmmm no hard filling only love from a dray jar.

what I do is this. 13 hr veg cycle 13 hr flower cycle. 12 hours on 5.5 hours off then 1 hour on then 5.5 hours off for veg 13 hours for flower will increase yeilds without going back into veg cycle. it's the cut of point ie the maximum light it can grow flower in.

@geo_ neo9 When?

@@freedom_born When what? I don't understand your question.

@Johndoe for sure but there are ways to increase smell etc. I would if electric wasn't so expensive. It's all enough for me amd works.

This guy has to be an engineer or highly trained scientist. He’s speaking my language.

it's bla bla bla without a concept anyways

He talks so slow 2x actually sounds normal

Perhaps he is speaking slowly to be considerate of non-native English speakers in the audience, who might greatly appreciate the clarity it provides.

@@0MrFox0I am non english and I hate slow english speakers and slow speakers in general 😅

Thank you 👍

5 mid size plants in 3"x3" was optimal for me

In my experience, a minimum of 5 weeks in veg is ideal. The plants seem to show a truer phenotypical expression when I allow them to naturally reach sexual maturity before I flip to flower. Most of the autos I've grown take that long to start really flowering also.

Thanks, much appreciated, take care, Shane

Glad you like them!

Thanks.

IMO led produce better terps HPS more dense bud

Are you in Australia if not you get it cheap.

@@billyballsup2685 you should watch the news more

@@graemebuchan1919 maybe you need to check Australia's prices. Why would I need to watch the news. That's the last place you get the truth. We pay between 26 to 38 cents a kilowatt. Not 12 cents.

@@billyballsup2685 your inflation is half of the UK rate, and nobody is gonna freeze to death, wonder how i knew you avoid information, fukin drongo

you run that at 100%

OP What do you mean by no CO2

No added Carbon dioxide. Continuous airflow in and out is good enough for personal needs. IMO.

@@jimbob2101 Sweet. Thank you.

@@mspahn1967 check out Dr MJ Coco it's also a very helpful channel for growing with coco. Pretty much all the info you need is on one or the other channel. Best of luck. 👍

Facts

How did it turn out?

@@baylenthedogg3242 Oh man, it was a wonderful learning experience in the sense that, if you’re going to use a 7-gallon pot, make sure that you’re pushing around 250-300 watts LED light source. I’m going to use that understanding, as I look towards my next opportunity! I’m beginning to understand how the living soil can stay living in a wonderful, recirculating system. That’s golden and, it has a lot to do with fungi, among other constituents but fungi!!! Garden giant or King straphoria is a wonderful friend in your garden. Barely scratching the surface but yes, always absorbing information through trial and error or, FU:FO ratio, fuck up, to find out. Thanks for asking though, I really appreciate it!

@@jakebrake7054 thanks for answering. I've grown I'm the woods years ago when I needed money and my friend that helped me robbed me during one of the hardest times of me life. Safe to say he's no longer a friend. But I've never grown indoor.. my wife is disabled, she has been on oxycodone for 3yr from the pain clinic.. and decided 2 weeks ago to quit as she could control them anymore, as they was controlling her. I don't really know what I want to do regarding grow medium.. I've always wanted to do DWC "deep water culture" and wanted to do no till living soil. I may just use coco and perlite and a little fox farms.. add gaia green 4-4-4 all purpose and then 0-2-4 'i think' boom boost. Mr Canucks on RU-vid and Cali green both use this organic method and it seems to do decent. I know marijuana had brought a glow back into her eyes soul and smile. That I haven't seen in years, I can't afford what they want for it here and God only knows what's in this stiff. I live in prohibition state well technically we just legalized but can only buy outside of state until 2025. So I can't throw them outside and let em grow. So indoors it is, but $ is a issue so I'm debating on a 2x2 by mars hydro but would love a AC Infinity 4x4 kit but there $985 even with $100 promo code. But the way look into he grow pro 1800 led light. It's pushing over 1000 par I'm every corner, and is $420.. the guy on RU-vid that reviews all lights just posted a video and they are the pound for pound best light.

My pleasure!

@@geo_neo9 That is strange and interesting but I understand why it probably works. Cool.

@@Ms13Funpolice Yes it does work brilliant. See I grow organic which is bound to be different in this way because organic is healing for the ladies. Terps also increase due to organic. . Same speed of growth and same harvest give or take depending on genetics. I'm a spiritual leader and I am aware we can programme the water with our energy because water has consciousness. Which helps make the buzz n terps be that little bit better than it was before I started this technique. It's just most think that's crazy even though there are books on how water has consciousness. She remembers everything.

@@geo_neo9 that's great your discussing water... I agree totally and have started my own water treatment methods for our drinking water. This is my first time growing so totally green... But l am keen on EVERYTHING being around natures code and as far removed from toxins as possible. Nutritionally rich living soil, clean water, natural sunlight where possible, and a natural environment around birds, bees and... so my theory is playing recordings of nature's sounds can only be beneficial too, and not detrimental? 🤔 I am sure many have tried the living soils and l imagine once in an enclosed tent the pests can hatch and be trapped in, and problems persist from there? I have 4 auto's growing in home made nutritional compost and thus far been outside 24/7 for close to a couple of months. Thus far they are thriving and any bugs that may have landed have a tiny nibble and depart as in true gardening. With enough nutrients the plant makes eating it difficult for bugs. Their job is to clear decay, so any decay should be removed asap so they don't hang around... My aim is to move them into a 4 x 4 tent to finish off. Am l destined for problems? My concerns are from an organic mindset nearly everything is genetically modified, from strains to feeding artificial nutrition... so is it possible to be more organic in an artificial environment?

You have no idea what youre doing

Good stuff

That/s going to struggle to get high PPFD in a 4x4. You will need to hang it higher to open up it's spread, which will lower the PPFD at the canopy quite considerably. Like shane said in the Video, 30 watts a foot = 480W.

I think it's 512

Glad to hear the videos have been helpful

Hi Frank, Yes we agree.

Hey mate I've found the best strains don't throw out us much but that why you have twice the amount of them, I prefer quality over quantity, I've kept the same strains for 3 years because every other is just abit dull.

@Johndoe yeah man Shane is the main guy I watch for lighting and a couple other but he is by far the best even got some migro gear and yeah man I'm also just agreeing with the main comments as I've noticed usually the plant that yield heaps are good but I think the smaller yielding plants taste better just my own experience and I can fit more in but I've had a few big growing plants but didn't fill the canopy aswell.

@Johndoe awesome dude I will have to look into autos I don't really know much about them .

@Johndoe yeah man I'm in Australia it's easy to find strains just haven't found any that keep up with the og kush and the girls scout cookies crack I do have grandfather og going and axe murderer they look great but I don't really have high hopes nice size though but yeah man I alway keep the strains I like best got a few more to try but yeah man, can't beat flavour, been looking at supersoil looks pretty interesting.

@Johndoe I didn't do this just so you know, but the person who did grew fem seeds so no pollinating I believe. Didn't come across any seeds in the bud.

@Johndoe did you grow out the seeds you got? Roughly how many grew to be auto and how many grew to be photo? If you got any autos, how did they taste? Typical ruderalis BS or like a photoperiod? Cool stuff though

That's fucking genius thank you bro

I'm debating whether I want to do perpetual harvest with autos or what. Leaning towards photo because of the ability to clone and veg easier

lol another bot account.

Glad you enjoyed it

I've never heard of a 50/50 with soil and perlite and as a current soil grower this interests me. Thanks for the suggestion!

The only thing coco, rockwool, clay, perlite does is displace water totals, hydro with nothing is all the water, coco is going to make up 90 some percent water that would be there in hydro, it’s the nutrients that does it all with an amount of water. I hand water with buffered nutrients so I don’t have to PH and I don’t have to flush, I just don’t feed after the last week and don’t waste time flushing.

@@doveseye.4666 The unfortunate thing about the buffered nutrients, such as advance nutrients, is they don't work in autopots. I've a new brand I'm using called Mills, the pH holds better than advance in my dwc and has zero gunk in the autopot.

@@bananas7479 I use Mantis Buffered Nutrients, a one bottle entire grow, seed to harvest and only when you water, it’s just fantastic, I use it on people who don’t know what’s wrong with there grow and Mantis just fixes any cannabis plant, I get great results, I don’t know about the Autopots, but Mantis is spectacular in hydro , I guess move it or keep it moving so the buffer doesn’t settle, I’m disabled and I can’t be messing with hoses and measures and cables, no way, I appreciate the one bottle entire grow thing, smoking or eating Mantis is only for cannabis. Funny thing, I’m using the Autopots, but since I can’t set it up, I use the 5 gallon bucket’s because they are tall enough to grab from a wheelchair, but the plants soon outgrow me, this time I’m growing sugar black rose with slabs from the ground, not on a table I can’t reach.

@@doveseye.4666 Well done man hats of to you. I've often wondered how I could continue to grow if I had a disability. I like to have an idea for unexpectedness of life. I will look up this mantis stuff. Have you looked into biotabs or grow dots. Water only. Ah sure with a one bottle thing what's the difference

Sounds great to me !

Thanks for sharing.

rock n roll

Wow over 24oz from less than 3x3 space This is a world record right?

Good stuff!

2x4 is a great footprint. 👍 Pulling down a lb? 👏👏

Why not try Dutch Buckets so watering is automatic and has wicking available 24 hrs a day yet will water from top for you? Other hydroponic set ups don't protect your plants like this during pump or power failure either.

which led did you use ?

which light was that ?

Go to 4.10 on this video and see the iPhone sensors almost as good as the Apogee Metre. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K3grFZs8spc.html

Good luck with it.

Thanks

yes the plants love high humidity as they are less stressed but it comes with risk to the crop. Better to stay at about 50 to 60% humidity in the second half of flowering.

I know your pain 😢

If without accounting ac, dehu and fans even with co2 getting over 3g/w you can only achieve with the biggest yielding strains and the quality usually sucks with those strains

Can you fit 4 2 or 3 gallon buckets?

@@justinholtgrave best off to veg out one big plant if your going for yield. 4 should fit but would be cramped and a pain to manage.

Good idea, thanks, I will cover it in a post, take care, Shane

I’m just under you in coco.

Damn😊
