New Grower first ever grow NYC Diesil x Lowrider

[peaceloveandbud]

Congrats on selecting Diesel Ryder. It broke my auto cherry 5 years ago and I haven't looked back. I believe that the genetics have been slightly reworked to provide tighter nugs than in the previous Joint Doctor's Diesel Ryder strains. She is an easy grower and good for a first time. Here is a throwback from mine on Day 50. DWC and 250 watt HPS. Happy growing!

Whats your price range?


Is this near it? you can probably do 4 smaller autos under it, I recommend two for your entire grow space though, would total 30,000 lumens

Yeah I'm orderin a 250W for my flowering period red spec n 125W blue spec for veg n 15W dual spec blue n red LED for all through

Yeah iv seen a lot of the T5s in a lot of grow videos n journals how much is a cheap one of them setting me back though?

 

[DrPurple]

Around $130.00-220.00, that includes the bulbs, smallest I'd go in your space is the 4 bulb, but if you can get the 8 it would be best

I have a 250 2700k it is great so far but I am doing a seedrun in small pots so my plants are kept small and don't require much light. Plan on getting 1 more 2700 anda 6500 for my closet so I will have 750w of cfl. The 250 dose run a lot hotter thanmy 26w bulbs on my power strip though and is too hot to touch for a long periodof time where as my 26 watts are probably no hotter than 80* so I would not letmy plants touch it. I don’t know if I would use it in a space larger than 2x2if it were me I would get another reflector and run both the 125 and the 250 during flowering.

 

[dr_rob_auto]

Yeah run both at once during flowering. Hypotheticly could I produce bud not after ounce upon ounce but could I just grow a smoke with my LED my 125 blue cfl n my 250 red cfl lights?

I'm not sure of the quality of the LED, but the CFL bulbs you have if used on one plant, maybe two, with a few smaller watt bulbs to help the lower branches, I don't see why you couldn't get an ounce, I've used CFLs in micro setups and got up to a 1/4 oz off party cup plants

Yeah well as my 125W came while I was at work. N its like they had a game or rugby with it cz its been obliterated. So until Tuesday iv only got my 15W dual LED AAHHHHHH! This is a bad omen I think but I'm going to carry on my seeds been in damp paper in a large ziplock for about 24hours so I reckon iv got maybe 24-36hours till go time, finally figured my timer so iv got it 18 on and 6 off
