Lighting briman's PlatinumLed P300 test thread

[briman]

Week 4 update! Hello peeps!Things are looking good in the tent and the ladies are stretching pretty good now. temps are steady @ 75*F and I have not put on a dark period for these gals. I was going to do it, but decided against it. Watering every couple days and still think I'm over watering a bit. The Kindsoil is a breeze to use and all I am doing is adding ph down crystals to the water to get it to 6.5 and I love the incredible smell coming off these ladies. Pure funk! On to some pics...

Is it the angle sir or is it me but you look to be a good 3 foot off the tops of those plants. I am seeing nice results on 25 in right now on mine. I tell you with 2 of them in there its a light show for sure.

@FullDuplex the panel is at 24 inches exactly! I have about 5-6 more inches then I am out of tent height. This is a 2' x 4' tent with only 5' of height. I have another tent(3 x 3 x 7) in my shopping cart on amazon and 2 brand New leds sitting in the closet. The 3 x 3 will be for photos and my 4 x 4 will house the autos. Plant count here just doubled in my state and I am aloud to have 12 plants total and NO limit in my home on what that can produce!! I can have 20 lbs sitting there and be legal!! SO I decided to get another tent and make sure me and the family arent ever out of meds!

Hmmm sounds like you are about to have some fun sir, really glad to hear that they are laxing things like that i just wish that the rest of the states would open up like that. I cant wait to see what you have instore

Subbed up! I have found with my P9 that the girls get a bit squatty at 24". I jacked it up to 30" and was getting 3" node spacing, but I'll keep dabbling with it on the next grow. I just dropped it to 18" since my girls are going into flower. I believe that I'm going to leave it here for coverage, but I had it down to 6" on my last grow without foxtailing or bleaching.

BTW, your girls look awesome. Super happy pointing right up!

weeks 5 update and all is good in the tent. I am officially out of tent height for my little tent. I flipped the bloom switch today and they are now getting the full spectrum of what the P300 has to offer! Temps and humidity are solid and the frost coming on these plants are telling me, that they will be some great looking ladies in full flower! The Kindsoil is SOOOOOOOOO easy, it should be illegal! Ph water to 6.5 and water!
@MeefChief, welcome aboard man!
Any questions or comments, ask away! These ladies are going to be little shrubs and may have to do with a little overwatering, but are looking good all the same! On to some pics...

@PlatinumLEDTom, what is the desired distance from plant canopy for this led? The site suggests 24 inches. How about in Bloom? Also, when is a good indicator to switch on the bloom for full spectrum. I have always ran my autos for the first 5-6 weeks then hit em with both bloom and veg. Can you get away with turning on both switches about 2-3 weeks into a auto grow and will it keep the plants short/squat with the full spectrum?

Looking good man. Switch bloom on now Bro. People have said switch veg and bloom on between day 15 and 30

Cool @Think!! Much appreciated! Maybe I have been waiting too long to hit the bloom switch!
