New Grower First Grow - Northern Light Blue

B.A. do you have any links on the vipars or similar lights not working good? From everything i can find people are very happy with them but mostly first or second time growers Id like to hear a verdict from someone more experienced. Here is the list of comparisons i made comparing vipar 400w vs ms0006 am i completely missing something big?https://www.autoflower.org/f138/vipar-v240-led-25562-4.html#post498772
 
Looking good, Hans! :five:
I'm digging that tent setup! I've never used LED's, looking forward to watching those gals take off!
 
First Feeding

Gave my girls their first feeding today (Day 15 SDH, 14 NLB)

So first I added cal/mg to my RO to around 125ppm then added 2ml/gal each of the G/M/B nutes (approx. 1/8 strength).

Hopefully I didn't screw anything up, here are some pics at time of watering. I will update again in a few days to show how they respond to the feeding.

Well If its the same thing why buy a knock off? Would be like me buying Mossy Jems from someone calling them Something else? Im not saying it is a knock off ..I think the red is dif on the GN model..plus its upgradable and is also backed by Dutch Passion ! GN is the Clear leader bringing new and best LED tech for us here at AFN.Who Is studying the growing of MJ with their spectrum before you buy it?Some people want Cadillac some people want Kia both get from a-b but one gets you the LADIES LOL:crying::vibe:

Here is my car analogy
I drive a Buick. Made in the same city as Cadillac, by the same parent company, same general parts from the same factory, same style of luxury sedan, same reliability and durability, distributed to "middleman" from the same factories, no where near the price.

Every 2 weeks i take my Buick 900 miles round trip, would it really be worth paying twice as much for a Cadillac just so I can look cool and trendy while I drive, even though the Buick gets me there just as fast and with 0 problems? I guess Ive answered that for my self. If I take a 2007 buick & 2007 caddy over 5 years i put 200k miles on the Buick and you put 200k on a Caddy at the end of the day both cars need replaced or repaired, only difference is ill have the money to buy a completely new 2013 buick since i saved so much money on the 2007 while youre still spending money to upgrade a 5 year old out of date Caddy.

If GN made the lights in the UK i could see your arguement bout them leading the technology but fact is the Chinese are the ones selling GN the tech. If im buying weed I go as close to the source as possible, why would i pay my local dealer 2-3x the price, when i can get it from the same people my local dealer does for less money but added effort and risk.

In my experience there is very little reward in life if your paying someone else to take all the risk.

But as far as spectrums I am looking for a custom spectrum, I could chose to cooy the ms0006 so I dont see how the red would be different, unless the parts are cheap. The quality was my original question, but it has been reviewed as high quality. Guess im cheap cuz if i can get two high quality vipar lights VS getting one ms0006 for the same price, both brands with the same spectrum ill take the two vipars. Ill be doing a journal in a few weeks hope ya can check it out i wont be afraid to admit if i was wrong not to go GN.

Either way thanks for the response BA

Hans sorry for getting off topic in your journal thats the last ill say on the chinese lights in this thread

Sorry one more thing for me too..you cant get 2 buicks for the price of one cddy lolBut The problem with you car would be A you dont have The 100 mile full warenty roadside gps tranny breaks tires for life , rust proofing,Real soft leather,heated seats,led tv,on star,heated mirros,Led rear view mirro,onboard touch screen computer with internet,ECT..So by the time I need to buy a new car Ill be getting a Phantom and you will still be looking for a Pontiac LOL if you know anything about getting lights from china in the big game then you know that china lacks quality control ...let say you buy 10 lights..fist time will be OK and you may get what you want ..2nd time hm they had some cheap parts left over they used them..some lights are good some are crap..3rd time half are crap half are good...GN does great quality control and are doing the research to see how they grow and if it works..now if another company sees my item working and copys it..I still think the OG person should get the credit and the fortune for it..not some scab GN Is proven quality for a few years here..and new series are made in france and UK...remember I did say with all due respect LOL
 
Just a quick update with pics, everything is looking good after their first feeding.
